SHCG: This is adorable, I love the papers you used and that little heart clip is cute. I really like Brenda's idea to make the arrow part of the flower stem, that would be so cute!
SHCG: This is such a cool page and has a great retro feel. LUV the photo and daiseys. It may be the photograph but I wish I could see the title a little easier, maybe a darker color background or adding a darker outline around the letters. very groovey page
SHCG: Great fun photo! I really like the papers you've used. I think that the border at the bottom of the pictures also looks fantastic. I really think that inkng the blue paper would help it to stand out more becaue the fancy edge is a little hard to see. I also think that it would help to outline the title letters with a darker color to make them more bold.
SHCG: HAHAH! This is such a funny pic. I think you chose well on the retroish pp look. Love all the inking. In fact I wanna see the title with a white shadow behind it and that inked in pink, as well. Also, I didn't notice the corner punches until I zoomed in. I think those, too, need to be backed in white. Cute trim and heart clip for added texture. I'm with Sharon on the divisive arrow. I have another idea--make the stem of that arrow wavy (might need deco scissors for this), place it underneath the left flower, repeat arrow, flip it left, and place underneath the right flower. I think wavy stem adds to the whimsy of this page, and you have that curved part of the arrows vee leaning toward each of you. I understand you're trying to connect the title to the pic with the arrow, but it's pretty clear who the sisters are. If you really need that connection furthered, maybe flourishes stamped in green coming from the first and last esses to their corresponding flowers, could help. Oh, I'd also like to see the deco edged (p)inked. I kinda wanna see the right deco edged trimmed off and straightened, might be asymmetrically cool to have only one deco edged. I like the white gel pen journaled captions. I guessed right that the one with the missing toof is you. =): That smiley is you with the toof, btw. :D
SHCG - Michelle, what an adorable retro pic & LO! Your pp selections work perfectly here. I like this page as is but I have a few tiny thoughts on what I'd change. I like the green arrow & how it coordinates w/ the trim but I just don't like it center-placed & pointing straight down between you, it almost seems like it's gonna split you 2 apart, I'd prefer it coming towards the pic at an angle from the top left corner. And you can still keep the wonderful visual triangle w/ the flowers/heart by moving the big flower to where the small one is (because moving the arrow to top left'll make that corner weighty & you'd want to balance it out) then move the smaller flower to around the left lower corner. I dunno, some placement things to play w/, because I don't want that arrow to separate these 2 cuties! I could see perhaps cs shadows behind the title letters because they do blend into the background a little, but oh I love that pp so much & it has such a pretty soft look right now, that I don't mind the subtlety. Overall, a lovely & precious page, & a marvelous response to a great challenge too!
SHCG: This is such a fun lo! And you managed to use everything but the kitchen sink as well-way to go, girl! I think the photo is so cute! The pps that you used go perfect with the photo! I think the off centered photo, mat and embelies are in the perfect possition! The flowers and the heart make a nice visual triangle-which is great! I love the green border and the green arrow-I think you can use a white pen and draw few lines in the arrow-mimic the border a bit more, but that is totally optional. I also think that you can do something to the title so it stands out a bit more-it's beautiful and it looks a bit lost to me-I'm thinking of brown pen/ink just on the edges. I love the mix of pps! I also loved picking into your childhood! Great pic!
I revisited this LO with some suggestions from the Fab SHCG. May have to adjust more later. This LO is in response to a SHCG Challege. I had started this LO with another picture, then realized I had already used the photo. So I scrambled and found this picture of my younger sister and myself. The coloring and style of the papers I "chose" reminded me of an "older" period. I inked the letters and the paper flowers to give it a bit more flow. The arrow....I can't decide if I should ink it or let it be as the ribbon on the bottom is about the same color.
