SHCG: Well, well, well. Sponsoring bunnies, are you? Hmph. I cannot believe the level of betrayal I have discovered. I am almost speechless. Almost. I have to echo my astonishment at your ability to make your papers work together so well. I love the photos, the paper, the labeling (the first time they appear), everything! Wait!! Is that viddy? Okay, now I have a suggestion. You should go back and label him. :-( This is fabulous!
SHCG: So, just how exactly do you do it--take those seemingly noncoordinating pps and make them work together on a page? (Shaking my fist at you.) I must know! I love the decision you made to incorporate so many photos on a page and to do three spreads of the family event using similar styles throughout. The wavy strips and circle photo shapes do a nice job of softening out the straight edges of the rest of the page. The buckle looks good here, too. I'd swap the bottom photos on this page with the ones on the other page. I think your pic of your bunny sponsorship goes well with Gigi and her gifts. So very sweet and thoughtful of your DH, btw. More comments on the facing page...
SHCG: (Copied from other side) Your family looks like so much fun!!! You've managed to capture a special gathering and document it beautifully as usual!
SHCG: Again, nice page! The upper circle photo looks cut off to me though... maybe reposition it a little so it can be on top of the rectance photo without blocking anyone?
SHCG: again great take on the challange, only thing that I would do is a thin mat for the two small circle pics. They seem to get a bit lost with the other bigger pics.
My “Big B Bonanza” challenge for Scrap Happenzz Critique Group asked for 1) a color that begins w/ "B"; 2) a BUNCH of pics (at least 3 per page); 3) an embellishment or technique that begins w/ "B" & 4) bulleted journaling. For my response, I decided to do three 2-page LOs about Christmas Day 2005. This Christmas was particularly special for me because it was the first time in 4 years that my immediate family all got together since we live in different states (not everyone could even make it to our wedding in '04). So it was really important to me to include as many pics & memories of this holiday as possible, including tiny details from my parents' house in the photo backgrounds. These 2-pagers used 14-16 pics each, have blue (sometimes black & brown) in the pp, blue flecks in the journaling paper, & I FINALLY use the buckles I've had in my stash that I've never used until now.
Please pardon the imperfect scans/stitching; my scanner cuts off the margins. Also, my cutely private parents preferred to be blurred online so zat's what I did! And, I used a few bright SILVER elements – silver inking on the photos, foil/mirror-like silver cs & silver sequins - & the bling factor just doesn't translate online, they look really cool & shiny IRL but look dark here.
I kind of did variations of a similar format for all of these but also wanted to make 'em 3 different 2-pagers.
I decided to only name who's who in the photos the first time they appear (or if they're in a pic w/ others' first appearances) as putting the names for each seemed redundant. So by the last 2-pager, there are no names for the pics.
The Scenic Route pp was a birthday '08 giftie from Lisa/Gelidy Gelato - thanks Lisa!
