SHCG: What a beautiful picture of your DGD. I am sorry that it wasn't at a happier occasion. My only suggestion would be to move the date and make it a tab from the photo that would extend vertically. I just wouldn't want it as prominent. This is beautiful.
SHCG: Nice page, you have one adorable granddaughter there! I would move her name down to overlap the top left corner slightly of the full color picture and move the date to the bottom left.
SHCG: Very nice page. I really like the B&W version of the photo as the background. It looks like a vellum overlay. The large groups of flowers are so real I almost want to touch them. The repeating flower borders are OK. I almost want to see more of the leave swirls.
PS The date placement does seem to be in a focal spot. Maybe her name would have been better there.
SHCG: I love that a page this sweet came out of something that is otherwise so sad. I also love how you used the same photo in two sizes, two different colors, and with one as a focal photo, while the other is part of your bg pp. The flowers make a lovely border, and her name as the title is in the perfect font and perfectly placed. There are two things that are currently distracting me: the placement of the date, and the things that are branching out of the tops of the flowers in the bottom row. I'd cut those off, and move the date to the bottom left corner of the photo. I don't think your journaling is too graphic, and wouldn't hurt to add it onto the page, in small print, to the right of the photo, just above that bottom row of flowers. What a lovely way you've breathed some life into a sad memory.
I agree totally with Blushpea!!! Your DGD is a very beautiful young lady, full of innocense and compassion.....I love how you used her picture as the backdrop, and all the flowers, especially the bunch in the corner are so very beautiful....God Bless all of you through the difficult time...
SHCG - Your DGD is lovely & so is this page - I love the colors, flowers, swirls & font, as well as the corner placement of the accents. Now you probably know already how I am about journaling so not surprisingly, I would like the details in your LO description added as journaling, either on the front of the LO, or on the back just to preserve that memory for yourself. The contrast between Emily's pretty smiling face, & her misunderstanding of a solemn event, is striking & a testament to childhood innocence; I would think it would be amazing to capture that somehow. Overall, beautiful page!
my dgd at her grandpa's funeral she didn't really understand untill the end when we had to leave him there. she also thought(due to the misunderstanding of another granddaughter, that we were going to watch him be cremated.) sorry for the graphic details, but that is what happened.
