I like this. The "L" looks great. What about making the jb thinner and longer and bring in the photo cornors, which I love. The colors are a great combo and The flowers at the top add the perfect touch! I also love your journaling! GJ!

I love this!!! Great color combo. I really like the "feel" of this lo. If it was me, I would make the journal strip long and narrow rather than short and wide. I think I would also chalk the orange journaling block a little because it seems a bit brighter than the other orange on the page. (Although it might just be the scan.)

This is so cool!!! Your mom is so stylish! The pattern paper serves her photo beautifully. Ditto Jasmine on the journaling -- if it's possible. Overall, a fantastic page!

I love this too! I like the papers you chose and tho' the orange journaling seems bright, I think it's perfect! I agree tho' about moving the photo corners closer to your photo, and to balance the page more, lengthening the journaling and decreasing the width will look great! I am loving your heritage pages!

I'm loving this one. I adore vintage pictures and I love the LO you came up with for yours. It's perfectly suited to your photo. I would never have thought to use the CBX letter that way (I have that exact set of chipboard letters so you've given me a great inspiration.) Awesome job!

great look! i like the L element. i like how your matting behind the journaling block mimics the strips on the paper. changes i would explore : 1. a very small orange mat behind photo - maybe 1/16" exposed. 2. bring photo corners in closer to the corner of the photo after you mat it. 3. make your journaling block longer in length and shorter in width. 4. the double matting is great but sometimes looks better when one of the colors exposed area is smaller than the other. example - first mat (white)is 1/8" past photo edge, and the second mat (burgandy) is 3/16" or 1/4" from the first mat edge. Hope that makes since. that being said .... honestly your journaling may look better on white. So to continue the strip pattern of paper, i would see how it looks to triple mat. i don't usually do that, but in this case it might just be perfect. in other words.... journaling on white. mat one orange, mat 2 white, mat 3 burgandy. and you might would consider adding 2 flowere at bottom of mat, under your journaling which would look nice against the white. ???? hope something here helps.

The color scheme is great, I like the orange. Have you tried an orange mat instead of the white and an antique beige vellum for the journaling? I love the corners and the small flower additions. Beautifully done heritage!
