I honestly think your layout is very well balanced, Belle! I'm looking and looking trying to find something to suggest but the only little bit I can think of is to reduce the size of everything but the photo and the hanging chain a bit and then tuck it all back in the corner as you have it now. But, it's really not necessary at all, it looks great as is. It might be that you've looked at it so long it doesn't look right to you, but I think it's really fine! Your photo is lovely and so are you and I like your journaling, it made me smile! -
oh, WOW, this is really gorgeous Barbara. Your photo and treatment is beautiful (Again, HOW did you do that??!) and I like the different patterned papers you used so successfully. Your layout is "art" too! -
Your photo is awesome and your blending is really beautiful! I like your framing and title, too. -
These are such wonderful photos chronicling parts of these little ones' lives. Your photos and extractions are wonderful (how did you do that!?) and I like how successfully you used the patterned paper, I struggle with that. I also really like how you arranged your page and your quote is perfect! -
Such a funny photo and I really like the background you created and the word art you used, this is really cute. -
@angleigh THIS is the one that I have. I actually bought another but returned it because the zoom was so bad. I spent a lot of time researching and bought it in May 2019 and have barely used it. And, somehow when I do, I'm not happy with the results and I've NEVER had that happen to me from the DSR>little point and shoots. I normally prefer to read manuals I can hold in my hand (good luck with that!) the book I bought is on my iPad but like you, I maybe opened it twice. I don't always do well with videos, but maybe I'll take your advice and look up some You Tube ones, thank you again for all the suggestions!

@angleigh Thanks for the encouragement and tips, you make me want to try again. ? I do use the one "superior" setting or something like that but my photos just don't look great, I was so much better with the little point and shoot, I'm never happy with these. I did buy a digital book someone wrote about the camera, but haven't really gotten into it. So maybe I should spend more time trying to do that... Maybe I'm expecting it to be an "easy" point and shoot but it isn't. ? It's also REALLY hard to find the millions of settings included; sometimes I touch something and a line or something comes on the screen -- and then I can't get it off! Frustrating on all ends and I spent a lot of time and research deciding on this camera.... You've given me interest to try again, thank you! And, me too, rarely use the phone camera, it just doesn't appeal to me.

I've been interested in photography since a child and took good photos with a small Kodak film camera, graduating to a Minolta DSR with changeable lenses I bought with my college graduation gift money. I loved it but it was heavy to carry around! Years later I was given a digital camera as a birthday gift and haven't looked back. When I bought a small Canon point and shoot I was delighted with its ability to easily go anyplace and it took wonderful photos. I replaced it with another which traveled to Australia and took awesome photos but a few years later it had a smudge on the lens so I upgraded to a "better" Sony - bigger and with lots of settings. Sadly I have not done well with it and unusually can't get used to it. I keep thinking I should buy another point and shoot but then know I'd never use the Sony again! I use my phone for photos when it's with me, but am not always happy with the results. But, like Hilary the pics are good enough for my scrapping, so I often do use them.

Lovely page and great photos of the rehearsal. I like how you masked and framed the top photo and the soft colors you used. -

What a sweetie and your photos are adorable. -
I visited this with my Mom, uncle who was a WWII vet and another soldier widow. My Mom had contributed to the building of it since my Dad had served and they all were anxious to see it. It was very impressive and your photos show it off well. I like the way you divided your page and how you used patriotic colors to scrap this. -

Your photos are gorgeous and it's amazing to think they were taken only minutes apart. I really like your masking of the larger photo and the vivid background you chose, your page glows so beautifully. -
I loved this in the NL and so glad to see it here. How wonderful that your girls and all of you are together again and your phos are luscious. I really like the peace colors you used and the way you put this together is masterful; it's such a special page. -
OOOOOhhhh, this is really lovely Debby. I really like your photo and masking and the grungy feel to your page. I especially like your creative framing. -
Great photo and masking and your title is really cool. -
This is so pretty Marie. Your photo is gorgeous and I like how the bits of white in your title and word art bring out the waves. I especially like how you title comes down the page and your masking and background is lovely. -
What a pretty photo and flower and your framing is lovely. I like the soft feel to your page. -
Wow, that is an interesting orange photo and makes me want to eat one. I like your background and the "orangey" feel to your page. -
SO nice to see your May and your photos are great. Happy birthday to Lauren and Brooke on her driving. Your nature photos are lovely and always so good to see Buddy. I like the colors and patterns you used here, they look so pretty. -
Good luck in your scrapping and for sure it's good to stay with the familiar as long as it works for you. ?

Your photos are awesome and I enjoyed your journaling. Sure is nice to see everyone doing some "normal" things again and I like your cute little house guest. I like the starred paper you used for this month and yes indeed. How is it July already? -
Sweet photo and I like all the soft pinks you used here. -
Well, your original layout was lovely, but you can see how far your scrapping skills have advanced in this one. Imogen is beautiful and so sweet to see her as a baby. I really like how you blended in the photo as your background and created pieces of background behind the other. You used simple embellishments that help show off those beautiful eyes even more. I like how you kept the feel of your original page, yet made it even more lovely. -
Awwww.... I so love waking up to sweet Lucy and here she is. Your photos are adorable and so is she. I really like your gorgeously blended background and how masterfully you used the scribbles and blending. -
OHhhhhhh...... This is so beautiful. Your photos and framing are lovely and I really like your background and the different pieces you added. You have such gorgeous photos from Cuba and it always looks a great time.
