Soaking up the Sun By the Pool

You use such bold colors; I love it! The "S" is awesome. Making the journaling block be a different color should help it blend in; the rest is perfect as-is!

Beautiful layout! I was also thinking about inking the journal box, real softly - like the title. Your background paper goes very well with these cute photos! Once you get some journaling in there - it will really finish up this layout.

This is a great lo. I think I would ink the journal box like you did the "soaking up the pool. I think that would have it all blend together nicely with using the different color paper. Nice job though. I love the pic's.

Love this...you can just tell how much fun he is having. I would suggest inking (or chalking) around the edges of your photo mats so that they "go" with the title. Also I agree that the white journal box is a little stark. Maybe if it was matted in a colour and you used a coloured pen (green or pale blue) to journal and inked the edges it would stand out less. Again, love the colours - they really go so perfectly with the photos. For me sometimes that is the hardest part. GREAT JOB!

Awwww....lovely layout! If it were me I'd be inclined to move the title up to where you have the journaling block at the moment and make a bit more of a feature of it - its looking a bit squshed in between the two pics, and then maybe do the journaling in a slightly narrower strip in the space where the title was? Just a thought...good choice of colours... how lucky that the swap title fits in with the colours of the rubber ring!?

Awesome pix! I love what you did to the title and the colors of the LO. To me, the white journaling block is too "white" and "bright". I would use a different color cardstock...maybe a yellow or a blue, matted on the white journal block, to go with your LO.
