Default Help please???

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new so I'm not sure how to go about this... but I would love some advice. Can you let me know what you think would work better for this LO? I just love the pictures but can't seem to get the right background. I'm not big into clustering... very simple is my thing, but anything you have to offer me would be great! Thanks in advance .

Maybe something floraly on the left side of the photos...or move the journal strips/leaf to the left side to balance the page out? Very cool face painting!

Or maybe a big title going down the left side? Super fun pics btw!

Its beautiful! However, i would use the layer in between the background and the teal solid paper and do some clustering and shadow work

On the left side of course.. sticking close to the teal paper.. and then i would go above that and the pictures and and so some smaller cluster and shrink any flowers or wordart.

I have no clue if you are still looking for advice - but how about moving around the elements to form a visual triangle? Moving everything close into the center? I love your pics!

Oh, these photos just don't need much. Just my 2 cents, but I would take off the bottom cluster completely. Maybe keep the scatter and add a bit more scatter on the left side about 1/3 way down for balance if you want. Then done. Love it!

I also think a vertical title on the left side would work as well. OR better yet, a bit of journaling down the left side telling about the photos. I'd love to hear the story (perhaps turned sideways).

But I agree that simple is best. I love the paper choices and overall composition, though.

Aww this is so cute! I agree, a title down the left side would really pull it all together!

Thank you guys so much! I agree and you know I'm going to take off the bottom picture... those are felted wool boots he made himself . I use artisan/ panstoria and need to work on the shadowing more, I know. I do have Pse11 but am still learning... i can barely clip a photo to a template lol.

Cheers!

https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com...artist&cat=679Hi again,

Thank you all for your thoughts, I appreciate it so much. Okay, I basically redid the entire page and started from scratch. Here's the final. I love the quote at the bottom .
