It's perfect. Don't make any changes. I beg you! :) Thanks for sharing something so personal. I think the different pp and the different colors make an interesting contrast, one that fits the mood of the lo. Great work!

How touching! Wow! You are an amazing person to channel this energy in such a creative way!
|

Wow! Your journaling is awesome. I know that it must be a difficult subject to journal about, but it is an important part of you. I think so often of how much I would love to have scrapbooks like these from my ancestors. With this one I thought of my grandfather. His father was abusive and abandoned his 6 children. I wonder what my great grandfather was thinking, but I also wonder how this affected my grandfather. I wish I had something like this from him. I am sure that your children will treasure it and that they are blessed to have a mother that cares.

It's great that you could post something so dramatic, personal, and heartfelt. I think the layout is utterly fantastic, and striking.

Mistylnn, as usual another great page. You put your heart into and you feel that in the page. You do great work. keep it up.
|
|
Wow, this is amazing! I love all the inking and stamping you did. I love how you did the monogram over the stitching. I love the big flower and the strips of pp, but most of all I LOVE the feeling behind this. I'm sure all those WHYs have been floating around in your head all of your life. Just remember, some people aren't meant to be parents and it's his loss for missing out on you. ((hugs!))

TFS!!The darker colors help balance the white space. The W in the upper corner, the title, the large flower at the bottom and the strips all help bring the focus back to the pic. Mistlynn don't be bitter, you may have missed out on your father, but your father has missed knowing such a talented person.

|
wow you did a fab work. TFS!
|
|
I wouldn't change a thing. It's sincere and wonderful. And how sad for you growing up. But you'll be glad you did this, it's like therapy. Beautifully done!
|
|
Beautiful, beautiful lo! Thank you so much for sharing!
|
|
Misty, this must have been a difficult page to do considering the content, I can see why you want it to be perfect, and IT IS - don't change a thing sweetie, I love it all, it is thought provoking, well balanced, the photo is amazing and I love the colours, the addition of your own handwriting is perfect, TFS :)
|
|
I think now when you added your handwriting it's HAS IS ALL! All I can say is- WOW!
|
|
Great LO, love the colors. TFS
|
|
Great LO! It's so personal and pulls at the heartstrings. Love what you did with the ink.
|
|
I think this is beautiful! I agree that handwriting may make it more personal, but is is so lovely this way too. I love how honest your journaling is too.
|
|
I love this layout just how it is!! Honest! It is well balanced and I think the question strip is well done. It would look good also if you wanted to do it in your own handwriting too. But, I wouldn't change anything.
|
|
I wouldn't change a thing! It is a LO that is not only aesthetically pleasing with numerous stunning elements...but it perfectly conveys the questions you are asking from the heart...I especially like the use of the different fonts for each question....Thank you so much for sharing...and congratulations on putting so much of yourself and your vulnerabilty in this LO.
|
|
I think this is wonderful as it is. I like the way you did the questions - wouldn't change a thing. This is a great page for your BOM.
|
|
i agree with blurose....maybe you are not used to seeing so much white...i have the same problem! but honestly i think this LO is absolutely awesome! The photo is beautiful and the journaling is genuine! I think that the journaling is the focus on this LO and that you did a great job at making it stand out! i like the question marks....Be proud of this LO misty...it is really unbelievable! if anything maybe what helen said with something handwritten to put that last personal touch on it or a bit of inking it that corner as well, but i don't by any means think it absolutely NEEDS it, sometimes we tend to think we need to fill up every single bit of space! he eheeee...but i love it!
|
|
It takes a strong person to ask that question (why). You not only asked, you did it with stunning style! Excellent LO!
|
|
|
I think it's great!The overall look is balanced I think. if you wanted to have something handwritten, maybe under your picture...
|
|
Wow! Beautifull lo and beautifull heartfelt journaling! Great job, tfs!
|
|
I think I would struggle with the same question. But I love it, the way it is!!
The stitched corner behind the w is beautiful as are the words *why* I love the inking, and the big flower looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
|
|
hey, this layout is great, I think it is impotant to scrap all areas of our lives, not just the good ones. I love how it is now it looks great, but I think it would be more personal if you used yur own handwriting, either way though I think its great!!
|
|
The first thing i noticed was the lovely stitched corner W. Its great, I think the page has balance, we are so critical of our work. Maybe you are not used to seeing so much white, if so perhaps some more distressing ink, i like the questioning strip. JUst a thought but perhaps some handwritten journalling about your answers, on bottom of page. LOve that W. Looks great TFS :)
|
|
I like this LO a lot... thank you for sharing. I should probably do one about my dad, might be theraputic! Anyway, I like it the way it is, but doing the journaling in your own handwriting, might make it more striking and personal. But that is up to you! I love LO that are so truthful and honest... once again, thank you for sharing it!
