What can I say?????? You are probably wondering if I sneezed a packet of gem stones all over this???
This goes without saying that I do not consider this one of my finer pieces of work! LOL, and I did think long & hard before up loading this LO, but as I have already uploaded a family layout after the western ceremony, I felt I should also honour the Indian ceremony by posting the other 'family layout'. In my defence the gemstones & the glitter do kind of represent all the bright clashing colours of the Indian ceremony; It just got lost somewhere in the translation! In real life the gem stones and glitter are so shiny they are almost radio active...I'm sure when I took this outside to photograph I saw some Magpies eyeing it off!
Anyway, It's done now. And I have my own rule of never re-doing a layout so I'm just going to have to live with it.

Oh my, Vija- this is awesome!! I would say you've captured the feeling of the Indian Ceremony perfectly!! I don't think there is too much bling, I think it is PERFECT!!!! Such details w/the framed cut out & the borders on the side- lovely colored paper!!! the glittered butterflies are sooo sweet, softens the layout. Love the family picture!!!!!!!!!

It is REALLY beautiful!! I find that most people who scrapbook are incredibly harsh with their own work! This is absolutely perfect in every way!! You have captured the Indian love for bright and vivid colours! The gems and butterflies are awesome! Just look at the photo...your embellies and lo are SUPERB!!

That is the perfect layout for the photo. And you're right, you had to add all the gems because it's part of their culture and it must be honored properly. lol
|
|

You accomplished making me laugh at your story! (Must have been painful sneezing out those gems..LOL) Personally, the photo is #1 with me and yours is fantastic! You must have all felt like a royal family.

Oh Vija, this is just a stunner! What a vibrent alive lo with color and bling! I love it! It's wonderful to capture family traditions and this looks like soemthing stright out of India! Sorry your being so critical of it, I think its marvelous!!! Nice job dear friend!!!!

I think the gemstones go well with the subject... and the black borders and punching are really pretty - they make the bright colors pop!
|
|
|

Oh my gosh Vija, when I first looked at this WONDERFUL lo - my thoughts were of JOY and HAPPINESS, which are the key elements to a wedding ceremony, right? (you are much too critical of your own work). You have done a SUPERB job of embracing and honoring the colorful Indian ceremony and I don't think anything "got lost somewhere in the translation". This is truly a TREASURE, gems and all!!! I am so glad that you won't ever consider re-doing this - it would be a shame to destroy this BEAUTY. TFS.

Honestly, when I first looked at this my thought was, "I wish I could scraplift this for a layout of the Pantai Inn, where we stayed in March. It would be perfect." I love the gemstones, butterflies, and colourful design. And while this layout may not be a favourite of yours, it IS a favourite of mine. Love it! I think you honoured this photo beautifully. (I also have the same "no redoing" rule.)

What a gem! I agree with Anna! The jewels look great & capture the essence of the Indian heritage!
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure why you don't like this! The jewels are perfect for this and the Indian ceremony! It is a GREAT layout! And I like your rule too....that's my rule also. "It is what it is. No more no less so live it!" So I don't redo layouts either.
