It's absolutely wonderful - so expressive of the color and glory of the day. My only tiny suggestion - nudge the title over just a little to the left so it doesn't overlap the background element.

I love the swirl in the upper right corner. Adds just a touch of fantasy to a classy layout.

Simple, fun and very effective! Love it.

What a cool, cool idea! I want to come too.

The colors are beautiful and I love the simplicity of the design. I would keep it this simple, but I'd love to see your results if you take up on the suggestions of matching the horizons and/or beveling the frame.

I agree - I love the photo repeated in the background.! Beautiful.

What beautiful girls! And I love the edge around the photo.

How perfect! And all the elements work so well together, a great photo, wonderful sentiment and the colors are perfect, masculine but not competing with the photo.

One of the prettiest layouts I've seen recently - do you think it's because that baby is so cute?!!!! And I love the journaling.

I've noticed you use a lot of black and white photos with brighter colored backgrounds and elements. It's so effective - I'll have to remember to try that. I love the boyish colors here which are brighter versus the usual soft blue. (Though I love soft blues, they can seem too feminine, sometimes.)

Great quote. The colors make you feel happy even before reading the quote.

I like the way the papers reflect Arizona style.

What a sweet photo - and the black and white works so well with the brighter colors for background and accents.

A great memory - I wish I had a record of my pregnancy - but too late for that. I'll probably make a nuisance of myself if my kids ever get around to having children. I'm so glad you scrapped this part of your life, even if you don't like the way you looked. Great job!

Absolutely beautiful! Beautiful baby, beautiful sentiment and a beautifully simple layout!
