SHCG: This is awesome, I love the placement of your photos (which are great by the way), the stickles all around looks fab and I like those silver stars. Great 2-pager and btw, those chocolate spoons look yummy!

SHCG: Wow! It's so much fun to see so many great photos & captions squeezed into these pages. That green garland is perfect. PS and the photo with the chair and tree split across the two pages is cool.

SHCG: Wow, I love that you have so many photos on this page. I also like the splashes of sparkles and your hand-cut stars. Going on your "ask for help" to make the photos stand out more, I would suggest covering up some more of that background paper as all of those squares kind of grab my attention. So, what I am thinking is to cut out some larger stars, silver them up and add them to this page. I think even cardboard from a cereal box would work. You could also decorate them with a little ink and glitter - maybe even stamp on them. Then I also think a large 25 in red and white would also be pretty cool. I believe all of these embellishments would add some dimension, but help to keep your focus from the background paper and move it right to your pictures.

SHCG: This is great! Here too I love the stickled border, the strip journaling and the stars! I think the bg pp is great here! Great 2-pager!

SHCG: Welcome to the world of Stickles! Great response to the challenge... you arranged the photos nicely. :) Your Stickled mat frames is a great frame for the photos. I like that you didn't use overtly Christmas-y pp for this... the red and green touches are subtle.

Love the stickles around the photos on this and the day by day journaling

SHCG: I had a blast going through this 2 pager. I really enjoyed the snippets of stories. The use of stickles is fantastic (is there any left in the bottle?) I love how you did the mat (what a great way to do it!). The font for the title is great and a perfect festive color. Nice job and great use of multiple photos.

SHCG: Wow! What a whopper of a response to the challenge, Sharon. Mad props for using so many photos on a spread. I really like the placement. Sorta like a wreath. I also like the green photo mats to complement all the reds in the pics. Minor suggestions. I'd like to see some sort of red/green embellishment of the 25 in your title, just to add to the festive feel of your page. I like that you dated each photo and I can see a star drawn around each one to make them stand out a little more from the rest of the caption and to further the star motif on this spread. Your choice of bg pp works behind your colorful photos. I really enjoyed YOUR Project 25. Cool name.
