Holiday/Seasons Completed Page Swap - Progress Thread - **Mailed**

[123SA]

I'll have my Christmas prototype ready to post in a few minutes. Do you want it posted in this thread?

 

[KatDisney]

oooooooooo yeah !!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Oh Oh Oh I wanna see!!!!!!

It's coming. I am uploading it now. This is my first completed 12x12 swap -- so I defintely have some questions.

 

[123SA]

Now for the questions:

1. Topper/Title: It isn't a topper and it is not individual matted letters. It is double matted, stickled, and has the added decorated tree. Is it ok?

2. Photomats: right hand page -- those are 4 1/4 mats, for a 4 inch photo. It is not exactly double matted. I have the 2 layers behind it -- does that count? I did try it the other way. Instead of two layers on the diamond, I tried 2 layers on the square. I also tried 2 layers on both. This way turned out the best in my opinion. If it is not acceptable, I will take out the diamonds altogether and just do 4 doubled matted squares.

3. Journal space -- 3 small mats were required. I would like to know if my 4the box can be the journal spot.

FYI -- teh large element is the paper pieing it was cut at 4 inches, is pop-dotted and stickled.


I am asking for a critique here, so no offense will be taken if you answer. Is anything else missing? Thanks for your help.

personally I think it is perfect just the way it is!

I really like them. The squares are awesome because they can be used for pics and journalling.

Is the dotted paper loose in the middle so a pic can be slipped under?

I agree!

OK, time for bed now. My head still hurts. I need so Tylenol and a chiropractor.

Night all!

I agree!

I agree also.

Those are stunning!
How long did it take you? It looks like an amazing amount of work. And while we are asking, where do you come up with that?

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

That's a beautiful layout. It's great just like it is!!!!!

 

[Michellepooh]

That looks fabulous!!! Great work!

 

[SusieStone]

Well, I am mad that I am not getting one of those.

It is absolutely GORGEOUS

Thanks. Actually, not too long since a lot of it is just paper cutting. Xyron on the title was the worst part. GLad I have 5 and not 13 of them! I think I came up with it on my own...I know I did a similar page in my 2005 Disney album. Who knows? Maybe I got that one from somewhere and have since forgotten!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Darn. I was hoping to pick up a book of ideas.
I buy the magazines every now and then, but nothing has jumped out at me that I really want to make for everyone.

Susan - that is DARLING! Don't you dare change a thing on it because it is perfect as is.

The title is fine because it is double-matted and embellished. The photo mats look great with the diamonds and that totally counts for double-matted anyway as there are two layers. The 4 squares leave plenty of room for journaling if someone needs it AND allows all 4 to be used for pics if no journaling is needed/wanted. All in all, the layout is beautiful and you did a really great job!

I'm going to post the prototype thread now so that everyone can post as they are ready. You can find it here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=26323083#post26323083
Don't worry about moving this one over since it's already been posted here. I marked you off on the other thread.

Now I'm going to slink off and cry since I'm not in your Christmas group and won't get a set of these beautiful pages.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will cry right along side of you.
I'm not in that Christmas group either.

Thanks for the compliments! I am about to post my Halloween prototype. I like this one even better, but I just love Halloween layouts.

If it makes you feel any better, I am almost finished your hostess gift...Farmer Mickey.

 

[TPCShauna]

Yay!!!! I get a super cute Farmer Mickey!
