acmckelvey Shabalicious Registered: October 2009 Posts: 564	Me and Rachel. Goodness that is a big belly. Journaling reads: We loved you when you were smaller than the sparkles in your sister's eyes. We loved you as you grew and made Mommy's belly round. We love you still. Supplies: Carousel - dot paper, stacked frame, wings, flowers, flower swirl stamp Affair to Remember - triptych frame Yours Truly - Black background paper Happy Go Lucky- "9" alpha, recolored Barefoot - Bow on alpha, manipulated Clementine - staple Splendid - stitch border Olivia - Red gingham bow Plentiful - blue green swirl paper I thought I was pretty much sticking with Carousel until I made this list...lol. Thanks for looking! p.s. I never know when to quit on elements or if it's not enough...I"m thinking it needs a ricrac along the bottom edge of the frames but afraid it will interfere with the journaling. Thoughts?

I think it's a perfect page, as is! Nice balance, wondeful color scheme, precious pics & journaling! Love how you combined all the kits... Love how you chose the pic with the black belly (lol) in the center & anchored the black paper on the bottom. Really focuses the eye in... awesome!

Great LO!! Yes, I keep wondering when I'm finally going to be rid of my element-fussing-around issue. Somehow, I think that day will never eventuate! LOL! I think the page looks perfect - delicate detailing and amazing titlework!!

Also, here is my answer to a question you had on my flowergirl layout about the photo action. (I left the same answer there to - just in case!)
I don't recall having any issues - (I did download them quite a few months ago so the memory is a bit fuzzy! lol!). I use Photoshop CS3 and after downloading a photo action, I simply 'open' the action file through photoshop and then it's there in my 'actions' toolbox whenever I want to use it. Sorry I can't help much beyond that - not that it was much help at all! So wish I could just fly over the great big ocean, instantly, and be there with you to see what's going on! LOL!

Also, if you do get them up and running - the "vintage" action has a grain effect - I deleted this and some of the gaussian blur for my pics.

Leave it as it is, it's beautiful. Love the way the line of flowers flows along the card stack and on to the butterfly. Perfect x
