Leslie
Leslie - ah, such great design! the little details are just perfect. Well, as usual with the team..shadows, shadows, shadows...lol..a little more shadow to your heavier 3D elements would make a great pop! Well done Leslie!

Mariposa
Mariposa - What a cute set of photos! Two small suggestions - blending out the dots over the main photo abit more? and a little shadow to your top paper. Love the stitching and the date stamp - well done!
WI no. 14
Holly
Holly - Great blending of your photo and love the stamp frame! We don't think the little colors show off your photos the best - possibly using a darker set? and tilting your top paper abit?
WI no. 13
Renata
Renata - the green is just so perfect with the overal neutrality of the layout - it pleases the eye perfectly! We would not change a thing!
WI no. 12
Maya
Maya - Just love the vibrant colors of your layout! Element choices are fab as well. The darkness of the black and white photos seems overpowering - could you try lightening them and making them a softer black and white? Well done!
WI no. 11
Marta
Marta - love all the tilting of papers and elements - how you placed the denim frame over - very well done! One thought - possibly lightening up the photo to make it pop some more?
WI no. 10
Kveta
Kveta - Oh my. Way to totally make this template your own! Love the big ric rac, the blending...everything! We would not change anything!
WI no. 9
Renee
Oh Renee - fun just oozes from this layout! Great color choices and your elements..well fab! I'm not sure we would change a thing!
WI no. 8
Ina
Ina -Wow! Just so beautiful! Love what you did with the photo! Is it possible that you could age the orchid? The white of the flower seems bright next to your photo! Again, just gorgeous!
WI no. 7
Claire
Claire this is just so sweet and scrumptious! The pastel tones are beautiful with the crops and colors of your photos. The one thing we would suggest is to tone down the intensity of the more vibrant colors - the clover leaf, bright pink flowers, etc - they don't quite match - not because of color but the strength. Can't wait to see what you do!
WI no. 6
Marussia
Mariussa - just makes us all warm and full of smiles! The extraction is very well done - however we're not quite sure the shadows are done correctly - he seems to be 'hovering' abit, particularly near his hand and head. Maybe you could try painting more shadows into that area?
WI no. 5
Crystal
Crystal this is a gorgeous layout. Your elements and textures are just beautiful. Our only concern is that the photos seem to get lost. Not sure you should enlarge the photos - but maybe play around with some tones - maybe sephia? so that the photos are more clearly seen.
WI no. 4
Amy's
Amy - cute, cute, cute! This layout just oozes messy! The background paper was a perfect choice! Especially love all the stitching you used. Our one concern is your title work. It seems to get lost. Maybe make the "messy" alpha larger?
