An Eye for Wrong

(Don't know what date this will appear as, but this was written way back in 2012.)

Before beginning the mini proper I fussy cut so many items there wasn't a real expectation in using as many.  Wrong!  I'm back to cutting and I'm only on page three.  It's a nice respite from doing the "real" work.

Creating pages are most often like assembling a puzzle.  Like most everyone else I have an eye for something not quite right.  I don't  often know what's not right, only that it isn't.  I came up with a perfect means to display four photos using the space for only one.  For example: when this display laid upon the page, that something ping hit.  It took coming back to it several times before understanding this particular element dominated the focal point, that of the framed  photo.  This time is was all about scale.  There are countless other lessons awaiting certain pending mistakes.

There aren't many YouTube videos featuring Little Darlings mini-albums.  Even the masters seem to have difficulty working with this line.  It finally dawned that unlike most other Graphic 45 collections, Little Darlings lacks a wide variety of images to work from.  Lots of butterflies, a number of roses, words, and only a few baby/small child images.  This is one that will need a few imported elements to keep from repetitively working the same.  This is something to consider when looking at future collections.

I bought full packages of cherry blossoms and twisted roses from I Am Roses.  Hopefully they'll arrive as quickly as last time.
