You have done a great job with the extraction of this photograph - really well done! I love the crossed ric-rac in the top corner that 'ground' the title and box. Maybe you could tuck a little something behind the scalloped strip on the left hand side to balance out the photo and other elements? It could be something as simple as a piece of notepaper with a little more journalling? It really is a great page though (with an amazing extracted picture). Looking forward to seeing more of your pages and those cute little guys! xx

wow, great extraction!! such a wonderful photo, too!! I love the kits you used - lovely neutral colors! I like Georginci's suggestions...I would just add that maybe you could tuck the journaling squares behind the photo? I know he's bending down to be close to the boys but it kind of looks like he's ducking under the journaling box, lol!

we would love to see more of your pages - keep them coming!! your boys are soooooo handsome!

I agree - fantastic extraction!! I love the combination of papers you've used! Especially the layered blocks of paper building up to the journaling. Your shadows are terrific!! Such a precious photo too!! And, I agree with Beckie to move the pic out from behind the journal squares - but seriously your page is beautiful and I really like it just as it is!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

I would love to move the picture out, but my husband's head is cut off in the photo (it is the only one of the three of them, so I just had to use it

) so it may look silly anyway. Thanks so much for the advice, since I'm new at this I need all the help I can get!
