SHCG: Love seeing that rust color repeated in the textured strips. The thin mat for the journaling block adds interest and your account draws me in as usual. I like the simplicity of this and the white space to the upper left of the block has its own aesthetic, but does seem like an interruption as my eyes flow across the two pages. I wonder if half a flower peeking from behind that corner of your journaling might remedy that. Still, it is a lovely spread, Sharon.
SHCG: YIKES more headless people. I would suggest enlarging the table photo and then cutting across the top third right at the table edge BUT cutting around the little guy. Otherwise then the headless bodies, these pages are perfection.
SHCG: Great two pager. I love the colors as well. I think bringing in the eyelets from the title somewhere on the second page to tie it to the first might be nice.
SHCG: Same comments here....again, I would suggest adding the green photo mat. I am also thinking you have room for some sort of embelllishment with some 3d effects to the right of your picture. Even three brads in a row would look neat, especially those really cool fabric covered brads!
SHCG: Repeat of the color comment from the other page, great colors. The photo of the food seems a bit off to me. It could be due to the scan issue but if not, I could see it a bit more centered over the two photos on the bottom. The food looks so yummy, it makes me hungry and I just ate! I like how the two pictures on the bottom show the hand on the head with a bit different view/look. Very cute. Your journaling is sensational.
Pretty standard 2-pager from me re: Thanksgiving Day in '06; we were meeting my family at my sister's in MN. Kinda freaked me out how simply/quickly this came together but that's what I was feeling for this one & I'm satisfied w/ that! I love meeting up w/ my out-of-state family for the holidays.
The scan chops off the side as usual. There's more of a left margin IRL than shown here. The pp was already swirled, I started to stamp more swirls but realized I only really wanted that 1 additional stamp.
No obligation at ALL to read the journaling but here it is for those interested:
"Thurs Nov. 23, 2006 – Happy Thanksgiving! Woke up early to breakfast w/ Mom & Dad, most eventually joined us. Then cooking & stuff - Mom started her lasagna & I offered to sous-chef Sarah as she prepared bread & apple pie (more involved than I anticipated but really fulfilling). Shirley made some tasty grilled veggies w/ pesto for a snack as the big meal was scheduled for 3PM. Out of the kitchen, had tons o' fun playing Uno w/ the kids & hanging out! Later, I made the “mystery grain”; I was surprising Greg by making one of his fave childhood dishes “farfel” (actually not really farfel, it's pearl barley in onion sauce but the family called it that, I secretly got the recipe from Shelly). Charlie showed up before the meal, Jon had told him half the fun was in the preparations! Overall holiday fun - scrapbook sharing (mine as well as Sally's & Sarah's '06 vacay books impressed), karaoke, game playing, music, etc. Then the feast! Greg was touched & really got a kick outta the surprise farfel. Everything was wonderful – corn casserole by Jon, Shirley's pesto salad dressing, Mom's lasagna (a superfave of mine for years!), my farfel, Sally's cranberry sauce, Sarah's bread, Sally's fish, etc! Yumm… Afterwards..."
(journaling continues to next LO re: karaoke, LOL).
