RE: Beebuzz: Phoenix R Said: Hey Everyone! Just wanted you all to take a look at Zaniness now that it has photos on it. I am really proud of the lo and think I managed to break away from some of my boring habits. Let me know what you think! Whoo! I love it!! I really have difficulty CCing a LO without pics... But now with the pics in.. Vavoom!

A New LO for me... I like this one.

I left comments for mosey, beebuzz, pinkprincess and emmasmom. Great job ladies on your new LO's and the inprovements to your old ones. By the way...I posted two new LO's for challenges if you want to look.

Hey folks...would love your comments on this one. Haven't changed my old ones yet, put am trying to implement your suggestions into new ones. Made the title a major part of the LO, and did a lot more layering. I'm pretty pleased, but the only part I am unsure of is the ribbon in the top left - let me know if you can think of something better to put up there!! Thanks in advance...

I'm off to check out galleries. I'll be posting some weekend work for critique.

Scrapz and Tay, good to have you back. You haven't been around for a little while. We missed you!

Some new work from this weekend. I have never done 6X6 before and I'm a little worried about the balance on the pages between all the photos and all the text.

Birthday girl, Beebuzz! Thanks for all the awesome feedback on my mini album. I loved your suggestion for the "Thankful" page. I am currently working on a page with the exact same lo and I'm going to implement the changes you suggested. I am excited to see how it turns out. Thanks.

We have been busy with our sick children. Since they all hang around together, they get sick at the same time. However, from the 8th - 15th, Tay's sister will be here and I have to give them the grand tour. I am hoping that you guys will keep things going while we are gone. We won't be checking in much that week.

Enjoy the visit with Tay's sister. We'll keep the ball rolling and we'll miss you.

Hope the kids are feeling better!!!

RE: Bmn0616: I am jumping in too!!! I have always been shy about posting layouts!!! I finally posted a few Sunday night hoping to get a few comments but so many layouts get posted that by Tuesday morning they were buried and pushed back to page 25. I am open to any comments/critiques as I am always looking to improve. Thanks.

I am completely new to scrapbooking. I don't have many items to work with, except years worth of pictures of my four boys! I would love some feedback! Thank you! I find that some pages look neat and orderly, while others look very messy. I don't like that at all. My gallery has some pictures in it, but I have more.

Thank you!

Hello! I finally finished another LO. I have about ten halfway finished right now . This is Y for Yoda it's part of the A-Z album I'm working on. Let me know what you think. It goes with Z for Zany but obviously each page has its own title. Is it confusing to do LOs this way, with two titles but using the same papers?

RE: Jaime Lynne: I did, too! Good luck!!!

HELP!!!! Okay, I'm stuck on my nephew's page. I don't like the title. I'm thinking maybe I should say, "Little Face" (his nickname from me) or "Cutie Pie" or maybe even "Cutie Cullen"/"Cute Cullen." I want to ink or distress the papers, but can't decide on that.

At the bottom where there's blue blank space, I was going to put these green alpha stickers. One or two words maybe. Maybe... ??

Nothing is final or glued down so please make ALL the suggestions you'd like. Thank you so much!

I like "Little Face" because its unique and it has a special meaning. I definately think you should ink your edges, but use a similar color, not black, so it's not an overwhelming effect.

Reyanne - I like the way you layered everything, and the funky mesh at the top. Cool!

I would like to see a matt behind each photograph in a solid color. I think it is hard to focus on the picture because of the buzziness of the paper.

Alright guys- thanks for all the help on this one.
Even with all the ideas - I still couldn't get it to look like I wanted.
It's part of a bigger album so I didn't need to do journaling or a title etc.

I decided that this is it! I'm not going to mess around with it anymore.
Sitting in the Sand (updated)
I changed some of the colored tiles and added the paper flower in the corner - cut out using my sizzix and the O from my Azure alpha.

Here's the other one Sand and Surf
It's a terriable picture, and well don't like the LO either! But again I'm done with it! I like the title better than the first one, but the mat around the S is too bright.
Anyway - it's done and I'm moving on - thanks for the help guys but I think this one is a lost cause!

RE: Scrapzalot: I was inspired by another user asking for us to look in her gallery and give her some honest opinions on her pages. She asked that we not be TOO NICE and be honest.

OK I finally added some of my layouts. I am still a beginer with taking pictures of the LO's so some colors may be a little off!

It's me again, bugging you for honest suggestions on my latest LO. I can't quite figure out what is bugging me about it - maybe too "square"??? I actually wanted to do a chipboard title, but couldn't find ones that were a nice medium size, and didn't fell up to hand cutting them myself!! Anyways, your suggestions are once again appreciated!!
