I have been doing way to many heritage pages for my mom's album because now I am starting to HATE them all!! Not the people thankfully, but all of the pages. :Cry:

I have 3 more to do, including this one but I must have tried about 100 times to work on this photo. And this is the best that I came up with.



It is such a formal photo to me and I just have a hard time with clean lines I guess.....

what would you change?

What about adding a frame to the photo - Anna has Laced Frames, Charlize Creations Let's Count kit has a lovely white wood frame and Maya De GRoot has a soft grey frame her Aero Toni kit.

do you know the year the photo was taken or why- or are you leaving that for your mom to fill in.

I was going to suggest a frame or mask too to soften the edges...there's a good one in the 52 Inspirations that I use a lot from Sue.

I would suggest a mask too! But Chris don't forget the journaling, a good heritage page has to have journaling on it so everyone will know the story behind the photo!!

I am leaving a page at the back of the book to fill in what I dopn't know -- and I only know my mom and uncle, plus my grandma and granpda, and my great grandparents. Everyone else-- no clue!

I'll try some frames and see what I can do.

Thanks ladies- I think I needed some "fresh eyes" on it!

I like this photo...it doesn't have a general feeling to it. Some people are all serious...some are happy and then the little boy scratching his head in front is great. I don't think it is formal at all. I like the ideas to soften it up a bit.

So I took all of your advice when I had to redo this page from scratch. (Again. heh. :twitch:)
But now I can't show it to you because I had to put it away for a December Challenge!

But watch this space and you can see it on December 1 :D

thank you again for your advice! I took it all to heart and came up with a new-ish page. And it also worked out for a new Oscraps challenge!
