Friday Challenge - What I avoid

I see Ben's smile in Kiahna, Valerie! I love the patterned paper with the yellow strip on top of it! Beautiful! Darling picture of Kiahna!

You shouldn't avoid these big patterns! This looks great! Love the b&w photo with the bright colours and simple design :-) lovely page

I think you did awesome with the patterned page. Your layout jumped out from the MB. I love all of the colors and how you split the photo mat and stitched it to the page, then layed the photo over it. Kiahna's photo is really sweet.

Cute photo, I love that is B & W. The colorful background paper is lovely. Really beautiful layout.

Great job!! That is a busy pattern, but your bw photo and green mat really balance it out.

Beautiful layout! I think you used the bright pattern paper so well, especially in contrast to the lovely black-and-white photo. Great job!

You made the colorful patterned paper look great! I love the black and white photo with it. Love the curved journaling, too.

Kiahna's smiling face looks right at home against the colorful papers. Love her name in glitter and the text path. Totally charming layout!
