This is the 1st page for my mom's B-Day book - I can't believe I found this pic - it was a total surprise. She still has the stuffed dog on her nightstand - I was going to just take a pic of it, but this is SO much better! I feel like it needs more accents, I'm just not happy with it - any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

a lovely page - I would add a few more red accents to pick up the red of the puppy and create a more balanced look.

I think this is a fabulous creative page with your journaling shaped like a Christmas tree. I like the mask & the red bow on the journaling shaped like a present which picks up the colour on the stuffed dog. You have done a wonderful job here. It is always difficult to scrap a page when you eant to include a lot of journaling & this is great

Super photo find! Nicely masked into the page! Great idea to use your journaling in the shape of a Christmas tree! I think the page is great. If it were me I would prefer a frame around the photo (but that is just me) and I don't know how readable the text is after printing it out but it has to be enlarged here to be readable. Other than that... 1st great page!
