(27) Picture after we fixed the camera :)

Cheers

Cool page! I really love the color scheme, especially with the orange photo and the red fiber. The "love struck" note is perfect. Suggestions: I agree it would be nice if the quote showed up more - I like that it's on vellu, so I wouldn't back it with cardstock, but maybe give it a cardstock frame or just heavily ink the edges? And, the journaling block is a bit too close to the photo - maybe make it wider and lower? Or just move it more to the right? This is all minor, anyway.

Glad you got it fixed! And cute photo - it make sfor a good story, complete with illustration. What about breaking up the journaling into two mostly-equal squares?

Your journaling is great...you could maybe box in some of the words to make it more intersting to look at. I would back the quote in cardstock too to make it pop out more...such a cute story and a cute couple!!! :)

Camera horror stories...so glad you got it fixed. I love your husband's expression! I agree with Sri--back the vellum quote with cardstock and maybe also the journaling. Or, with the journaling you can continue your use of eyelets and attach some ribbon to run behind the journaling. Just a thought. That's where all the fun is...with you and your husband! Cool!

Kekeke..thank goodness it works! Love the journaling. HAve you tried backing the vellum quote with a cardstock so that it's clearer? Just an idea...

This is one of my favorite pictures of Joseph :) He's looking so worried and sweet. There are several photos hidden under it, but I didn't want to pull attention away from the main photo. The vellum quote to the right of the photo doesn't show up well; I'm also not sure about the big chunk of text. I have a lot to say, but it just looks so boring like that!

Here's what the journaling says:
It started out as such a good idea.
Joseph wanted to use the camera's timer to take pictures of us together, so he propped it up on a pile of books on an open drawer across from the bed. He took dozens of pictures of us lying together in various stages of blurriness, as he dashed back and forth between the camera and the bed.
It almost had to happen, with all the hurried dashing: the camera fell.
We were almost afraid to look at the damage. The corner of the battery door had popped out, and now the battery door was jammed partially open. Because the circuit was open, we couldn't get the camera to close the open lens, so we were worried it'd get damaged more. Joseph kept apologizing for breaking the camera, but I told him it was ok. It wasn't his fault, and we had no idea if it was really broken anyway. We decided to get a disposable camera to use Sunday, and get our camera repaired back in Pasadena. Joseph started looking online for hints. I was experimenting with bending the door when I gave it enough force and the corner popped back in! This closed the circuit, letting us turn the camera off correctly. The battery door was still jammed, so I have Joseph a dime and he popped the other corner completely in.
I tested the door - it worked. I turned it on - it worked. Finally, I took a picture of Joseph's worried face - it worked!
We were so relieved! We spent a while afterwards goofing around, taking funny pictures.
