Precious Memories

Love the colors and the frame around the pic. I agree that the key just seems to be hanging there and I like Robyns idea. Great job on the challenge.

That twine thing is a great idea Robyn! The twine could go horizontally on the white strip and hang the key ..

love that little clock stamp, and the buttons on the journaling, photo anchours also work really well with this. i dont have any more suggestions that haven't bee said, but i do agree with the spacing issue on the bottom

I really like how you have done the journaling with the buttons and the colours. It does seem to be 'airy'. I definatly agree with matting the journaling. I would also move the picture more in the center and overlap the circle a bit on the photo. I also think some inking on the edges would be brilliant. I love where you are going with this, Great job :)

Hi Tiffany! Sorry I'm late. I really love your colors and your choice of PP. I am a big fan of "strip journaling" so I of course love that you used this and I like how you've anchored your strips with buttons. However, I think that the strips should be longer. Maybe think of some more to say? This would solve your space problem between where the strips end and where the oval begins. I also like to ink these strips and mat them if possible for a more "finished" look. As for the key, I would take some twine and thread it through the top and "hang" it from your white divider. Make the strip of twine (fibers/whatever) run right through the middle of the white strip horizontally starting at the bookplate and ending behind the left edge of the page. (Hope this makes sense). I would move the keyhole inside your definition circle, below the word "precious". I love your stamping and that picture is great!

Beautiful LO! If i were to make any suggestions I think I would ink edges of a few more things. I'm thinking the corner piece and the cream colored frame around the picture. I agree that the key & keyhole seem to be floating and should be moved, I may have also put the metal thing in the center of the white ribbon. I do love where this is going and LOVE the colors. Great job.

Great first vintage lo! I love the colors and the photo! I like the strip journaling with the buttons and the clock too! I think the key hole gets a little bit lost. The frame and the title are great!

I'm really liking this LO. The colors are lovely and I really like the buttons and strip journaling along the lower left. I think a little edge inking on the triangle on the lower right would make the clock pop a little more. "Memories" in the bookplate needs to be bigger- it's getting lost on the LO and needs to be moved just a little so it's not so "square" on the ribbon divider (which I really like, btw). Other suggestions: layer the flowers over the frame just a little, and keep on overlapping them; watch out for the "floating" key and keyhole. Not sure they make sense where they are.

This is a great LO! I love the buttons on the journaling along with the red journaling. . And the clock on the bottom right . The matting on the journaling is great to, it has a good vintage feel. I also think the font in the bookplate is a little to small. I think you did great on this challenge !

For someone who's never vintaged before, this is an awesome first! I love the colors you chose! I also love the buttons that are holding the strip journaling and I love the key. I like the bookplate but think what's written in it is to small: the proportions are wrong. So I would change what's inside of it. I also like the clock but I would only put the circle there instead of the big triangle. I love your title and the stamped stuff. Great layout!
