Great use of all the pieces. I love how you used the puzzle pieces and the ribbon looks great. I really like the rounded corners and the photos. Great job!
I like this layout. I like the rounded edges of the pp, with the straight edges of the photos...I agree with Sharon that you should include some reference to your birthday, as I would not have known that unless I read her comments. Maybe something like "Me at" before the 31... I love the antique feel of this layout as well...nice!!!
Interesting digital effects you tried out on the photographs. Can't say this is a favorite, but you have piqued my interest in trying out some photo editing. I would have corner rounded all the pics and blocks to keep the soft ethereal quality going and perhaps white washed the pink pastel. I'm just at a loss on this one.
This is quite lovely. It is elegantly beautiful and simple and just different. I really like how you did the ribbon at the top too, as usual, beautiful job!
Gorgeous, dahling - I love the vintage-y feeling you convey here w/ the soft colors & photo effects... Such nice uses of the embellies - the vellum journaling over the pp scrap, the ribbon banner & the pp & journaling plate tucked behind the pics. One tiny thing I'd add...I know this is about your 31st birthday because I'm aware it just happened & I know the date & your age... that fact might not be so obvious to, say, your great-great granddaughter or someone else whose exploring your beautiful books in the future. So maybe you can handwrite something like "My glorious birthday" along the top or bottom edge of something (the page, one of the pp scraps or photos, whatever you want)...your ravishing-looking handwriting will only serve to add to the romantic dreamy feel you've captured here & provide valuable info that is missing to someone who isn't as familiar w/ your life as we are.
Love the way you did the ribbon with the puzzle pieces and " 31"!Also, love the way you did the photo of the sign! Great use of the elements and very nice lo!
The first thing that catches my eye is that ribbon at the top. I love the way you placed it. Not sure how you got it all to stay, but I like it! I love your placement here. I'm really starting to dig overlapping layers on pages. Really my only suggestion would be possibly with the date. I find the letters a bit thin and hard to read as positioned.. I possibly would have tried wrting it out on the pieces.
I really like how you cut the flourishes on the journaling block and slid it over the picture. That very fine detail is probably my favorite part. The only thing i see that i'd change is that puzzle piece that the "3" is on, I'd switch it with the one that's in the bottom right corner, just because that one up top is a corner piece. Love the "banner" you made from the green ribbon. awesome job with this challenge
Great job Brenda! I dig seeing how everyone used the embellies differently. For starters, I love that poem. It is beautiful and abso-friggin-lutely perfect for these pictures. Speaking of pictures, I cannot for the life of me figure out what you did with the top pic, but me likes! On my screen it looks color on sepia and I LOVE IT! I also like the way the journaling box seems to be "hanging" on the pic and framing it at the same time. The rounded corners on all of the mats look great! The scrolled ribbon rocks and I like the way the heart is holding the cream ribbon. In the scan, the pink jumps out at me, but I know IRL it picks ups the pink in the patterned papers. I love this LO! I can't think of anything that I might change. I am reaching but maybe round the corners of the photos too? However, I love them the way they are. Look at you! You are all grown up! *sniff* *sniff* This is wonderful!
This is for Melissa's (Fiery Redhead) Member-Hosted SHCG Embellie Challenge. She sent us a kit of supplies with two requirements: use 90% of the items and a solid color cs. It didn't turn out to be as easy as I thought; it was truly a challenge. This lo must have gone through 3 or 4 reincarnations before I finally settled on this one. It also marks my first time working with chipboard. The quote stamped on the vellum reads: "We bring Roses, beautiful fresh Roses, Dewy as the morning and coloured like the dawn; Little tents of odour where the bee reposes, Swooning in sweetness of the bed he dreams upon." --Read It shows up better IRL, and the cs is actually a creme color, not the white that it seems here. There's also journaling behind the solarized picture of the Berkeley Rose Garden sign.
