Just Some Brotherly One-Upmanship

Aww, I'm so glad they still want to do that w you, too. I like the heart as date tag and your always spot on placement of string. Clever to double up on the big scalloppy half circles in a solid and a stripe. The mix of patterns in your banners looks great, too. I'm marveling at your shadowing on them; envying it, maybe more accurately! The big stitches around the border are a fabulous finish. Kudos all over.

Fantastic page!! The stitched border looks great! I love the scalloped papers and banners. Great cluster and title!

Fun photo! Love the camaraderie. Great bg paper and love the stitch work going all around. Love the torn journal paper and overall composition. Nicely done!

These are all precious stories and memories that are so beautifully journaled in each of your layouts. Your stringmanship is pretty amazing, as always. Your layering is genius and your shadows - wow! Look at the extra special shadow below the bottom right taggy paper thing. I keep wanting to push it down The stamps and scatters add that extra touch of m-m-good to your layout and the date with the heart is fabulous. I can't tell if the title is an alpha from the kit, an alpha from somewhere else or a brilliantly styled font you have used - but it totally works. I love the torn edge on the journaling. I couldn't see the original template and the kit to sort out what had been jillified! Anyway, the long and short of it is - you are a wonderful scrapper and I love every layout you do. I think they all come to see you and knowing they will be scrapped is frosting on the visit.
