A Bison Mini Roundup

SHCG: LUV the photos and the journaling/photo captons around the mats. I find the background paper a little distracting. It just may be th way it photographed here. Larger or double mats may have offset the background paper. Food for thought for next time.

SHCG: I think the patterned paper is too busy. I would maybe half it an add a plain white sheet of cardstock. I love how you did the journaling

SHCG: Great photos! I have to agree with some of the other comments- the background pp is pretty but too much... putting the photos on a sold cs is a great idea. I'd also bring the picture in closer together. The big B is really cool. I could see writing your high school name vertically on it; just thinking "out loud" as a way to bring more attention to it. :)

SHCG: I like your mix of posed and candid shots. I also like how you balanced out the posed shots on mirrored ends. I have to agree with Chris's critiques. Another suggestion I have to consider trying is to number the photos and use journaling strips that are also numbered to match up your fun journaling with the pics. I like Sharon's mascot idea, too. It might be cute to cut out Blazer's outline and have him intertwined with the title as if he's your page's mascot.

SHCG: This is really fun, I love the journaling around the pictures, really great idea! I agree with the others about the background paper and adding another matte under the pictures. Great job :)

SHCG - I really like this, am diggin your use/placement of multiple pics here! The journaling on the mattes is genius, though I would add "(our school mascot)" after the "Go Bison!" on the right side of the top pic, the way you did in the LO description, so future viewers know. Nice overall color scheme. I ditto Dee, I would like to see the pics closer together so that focus isn't too spread out, though I like the overall general placement so far. Great job, Michelle!

SHCG: Looks like you all had tons of fun! Love the journaling on the photo mats! I think you can bring the photos closer and use some solid color mats for th epics so they stand out even more-like dark green or orange. I also like the big B in the title!

SHCG: Love the bg pp! Very pretty. I also love how you used a big B for your title to draw attention there. The pp does distract away from your photos, however, and I think maybe combining the pictures into a square-ish shape upon a solid blue mat will attract the eye to them. Also, the dog pic seems very random to me in the midst of all these outdoorsy photos. I do like how you journaled names, etc. Very nice!

SHCG: These pictures indicate a fun-filled day. I think it is really neat that you were able to get together with some high school friends. Your idea for the journaling on the photo matte is a great idea and I love the big "B" on this page. In all honesty I have to say your background paper is throwing me for a loop. Something about it just takes all my focus. To balance it a little I would suggest adding an additional forest green matte to your pictures. In addition, clumping your pictures together a little more may also help bring the focus to them.
