zeebootee - I think you were very diplomatic giving constructive criticism and suggestions!!!

Actually...I like BIZZY....and I agree it needs something else - it needs something to jump off the page and catch your attention...I think the title should be bigger, the upper picture bigger, and maybe take some of that striped ribbon and run that along the middle where the two papers meet...I dunno...just an idea...I don't think the fibers are bad either...oh yeah and add some ink or paint along the edges!!!!

or else maybe some of the bottom paper should go along the top too...just some more suggestions! And what do I know? There is nothing wrong with your layout...but if you are like the majority of us...once you become addicted to this...you are always striving for better... and what's wrong with that!

Oops, I seemed to have gotten overlooked again. I was hoping for some honest opinion on this LO. Could you please look at it and let me know what you think? Is it because I am not that well known yet that my LO's get overlooked? or is just that they are that bad?

Very nice lo Terri and what a cutie!!!! Great job!

It's a very nice layout! Cute ribbon, like the paint and ink, and you did a great job of matching the colors in the layout.

I love getting comments, too, but I know I don't comment much on others'. I'm usually either in a hurry or have a baby in my lap and have a hard time typing one handed.

It looks great, the colours match perfect!

Maybe you could use a little less printed paper, because it looks a little 'crowded'. Now it divert the attention from the pictures a little.

But overall it looks great!

I think the sheer *volume* of LO's on this site causes some stuff to be overlooked. Me, I try to go at least a couple of times a week, pick the last 7 days of uploads, and work my way forward...doesn't always work out, tho.

I think this is adorable, and commenting in your gallery now!

Oh I really like this! I like how the ribbon coordinates with the paper. Very nice!

Don't feel bad about not getting much feedback. I've only posted a few layouts but I figure the more I post, the more feedback I'll get. Just keep posting them. Maybe we should start a "look at my latest LO" thread.

Keep up the good work!

I posted feedback for you.

I'm pretty new here too, so I don't really know what the protocol is for giving feedback. I need to start peeking more in the galleries though.

I posted in your gallery. Cute lo.

Thank you everyone. I always try to leave comments on LO's that I look at. Of course I don't expect it on ALL of my posts BUT once in awhile a comment is nice.

We should start a praise thread or something.

I have some layouts that get ignored (so it seems) and others that get many comments. its hit or miss sometimes. I commented in your gallery

Thanks everyone for your honesty. I asked for it. LOL How could we go about starting a praise chain?

Well I hope I was out of line with my comment. I think it is great and was just adding a suggestion. I never critigue LO's because I believe that a LO is most special to the person who created it. I feel really wierd now about posting that suggestion. I am on the verge of deleting it! LOL.

I think your LO is really cute. I like the journaling idea. I am new to this
site so I'm not sure of everything, but I'll go back to the layout and figure out how to make a comment. Just remember, there's no right or wrong way, just
your way!

No, you were'nt out of line at all.. I appreciated your honesty and you had nice things to say also. I can accept constructive criticism. I really liked your suggestion and really considering redoing that part. Thanks.
