I'm still not sure about this lo. It's the beginning of my youngest son's babyalbum. I'm wondereing if it's not too clean and simple. Would love to have suggestions or opinions from others.I find it difficult to do, so many memories come up while scrapping and you just want to capture it all...

Here's the lo I'm talking about: http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/galle...cat=500&page=1

Thank you!!

I'm a newbie too, but when I saw your layout I really wanted to give you some encouragment. I also feel like you, stumped by so much to say and show and feeling like I'm going to "leave something out". This is kinda funny because in digital scrapbooking there is not such thing as "leaving something out"

becasue we can ALWAYS add more pictures, pages, words, and we can remake the same page in a thousand different ways if we want!

This layout is beautiful, in my humble opinion,

. I like "simple", but really it is not at all "boring". The true moment is captured and I love the soft color of blue and the dotted bordering that you added. I like the white in the background , this is good because we don't ususally work with white and we should do more of it because it is so nice as shown in yours.

One note, my eye keeps being drawn towards the center flower like a magnet. Just a suggestions that you move the flower to one corner to add it in as an accent. The eye will always be drawn toward center objects, espeically if they are circular (like a bull's-eye).

Beautiful job, please post more as I would like to keep up with your progress of the album.

I think your LO is precious!! I agree with the other poster that suggested maybe moving the flower to a corner. You may also consider moving all of the photos in towards each other a little bit. I love your dotted boxes! I do think it looks really great as it is

I really like your color scheme and the dotted boxes and agree with the above suggestions. By moving the photos closer together you'll have a nice spot to put the flower in a corner, possibly slightly overlapping one of the photos.
