suggestions for this scrapbook page?

[kerriann85]

Finally have a story to tell with a scrapbook page.
Since I've just started this scrapbooking/memory management concept I'm pretty much faking my way through it!
Wondering what you guys think.
Needs more? Less? Differnet?

Be tough, I can take it!

I love it! :lol: Talk about telling a story! It reminds me of those days when my two boys were learning to ride their bikes. Thanks for sharing.

I think it looks great - wonderful use of drop shadows - just enough in different places to give the page real depth!

Great job!

kerriann love your scrap book page. I am of the thought that less is more and it's just perfect. Not too busy and the story is there with those 4 pictures. Great job!

Thanks My Friends! Your comments are very sweet and I appreciate them greatly.

But seriously, is there anything someone would do differently? Does the bike track thing look really bad....should I redo it? (homemade brush)

Kerri,

It is brilliant and I love it ...

It tell a lovely story. It has good images, good use of colour, well put together and the tyre marks are a really great touch.

I just can't think of anything that would improve it ... and think that you have done a first rate job

Hi KerriAnn,
I really love how your page tells the story in pictures. The last one shows the most progress, riding alone!

Just a suggestion, but you might want to get a shot of a bike wheel and maybe layer a portion of it into the background at a low opacity, just to give the page some added depth.

Or add some smaller images as accents, like a reflector light, or a closeup of the design on his helmet, or his hand gripping the handlebar.

Nice work! And what a great idea for a page. I've never seen one devoted to learning to ride a bike. You're a trendsetter!

That's great ! Funny, I was thinking pretty much the same that Jan was as far as the background. Tho I kind of also missed seeing a nice close up of his smiling face with his helmet on. Of course this would suggest that you'd either have to cut one of the other images and replace it or find a way to add it. All in all it is really a nice display and I'm sure he'll cherish this memory for a while...'specially now that you got it displayed this way.

Thanks Wendy. "tYre" ? :lol:

Great ideas Jan. Was trying to figure out "accents" (aka frou frou). I like the reflector and helmet design suggestions. But want to do it without getting too cluttered.

Yep Jodi, as soon as he saw the print he wanted it in his room....
Might play with it some before printing for him and grampa.
