SHCG: This is just fabulous I LUV everything about it. All of the photos with the printed caption are just great. The captions are just the right size, color and placement. And it's cool how the captions and journaling are not absolutely perfect...adds a human touch and makes them more personal. The overall colors/theme/paper on both pages echoes the subject matter (photos) really well. Now let's talk about the title...it is just GREAT from the choice of papers, fiber, letters. I really like your choice in font and how you overlapped the "i". The ruffle reminds me of that dimpled sheet metal building material (I can't remember what it is called) and the pattern paper and inking has a real nostalgic feel. Great page. See deco scissors used with restraint can add to a layout.

Love the way you arranged your photos, I think this looks awesome! Nice work!!!

That looks like a fun trip. I like how and where you used the pleats, just the right spot. The arrangement of the photos shows them off but doesn't overpower the viewer with sheer numbers :) Nice job. Love the colors, too.

SHCG: LOVE that background pP! Your awesome schrubby obtained some beautiful photos. As usual, your journalling is superb, I think you ought to think about writing a book as your journaling is so descriptive I can almost imagine myself there with you!

SHCG: Love how you got so many pics on this LO. Great colors. Great to see the deco scissors got a workout!! The mountain on the bg adds to it wonderfully. Love the title font also. There is one thing annoying me, and I think I know why, but that is the journaling spot -- I guess it just seems to far over to the left for me, not even bordered. Beautiful LO overall, and that ruffle, is awesome :)

shcg: i love the background, the base for the beautiful pics! the paper frill is great on the title. very nice1

SHCG: So much fabulousness here, Sharon! I'll start at the back and work my way forward. I love the soft, subtle background paper that you chose. Your paper pierced mountain is subtle and really looks like part of the paper. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought that you bought a landscape paper for this purpose. Your flourishes are beautiful and they wonderfully mimic the wind that was so debillitating. The pictures are perfectly adorable and your ability to journal so magnificently helps convey the feeling for the day. I also adore the little journal strips on the pictures! Your paper ruffle is perfect and adds a lot of dimension to the title box. Loves it! This is just total radness! Superb job!

SHCG: I love the variety of photos you used here, and the photo placement is really neat too.

SHCG: I love the non-feminine paper ruffling, further enhanced by the deco scissors and personalized with the fibers (good idea!). I'm digging your photo placement, the labels of each photo, and how your journaling appears in the center of this two-pager. I gotta get my hands on that checkerboard pp, and my Cricut is jealous of that Quickutz font. I like what the cloud bg pp adds to the lo, and how it's brought to life by your fabulous paper piecing. In fact, I think you should show off more off it by switching places between the title block and the long-horned sheep photo. This will cover up your flourishes, but you can add more. That embossing can get tricky, can't it? Up close, it seems you might need to try a coupla things to get a more even embossed look. First, make sure you have ample powder that's equally distributed. Tap off the excess the best you can, and using a small, thin, dry paintbrush works for me to the get the rest of the strays and smooth out for more defined lines. Then, make sure you heat long enough and give equal time to all parts. Of course, you probably know all this, so I'll shut up now. Looking forward to the rest of the pages in this album, and great response to the challenge.
