Wow, this is so pretty! There is so much that I love about this layout. The thing that struck me right away was that beautiful black and white photo treatment. I love the high-contrast look, with those beautiful highlights accenting her hair in the background. I also love how the same photo is replicated twice, once behind the clustering and once tucked into the envelope, but at different angles and with different amounts of the photo showing each time. Really, even though there is a lot of clustering here, and you've included so many elements, those three beautiful photos definitely stay as the main focus of the layout. They draw your eye right to them. That's a really hard effect to accomplish -- beautifully done!

A very lovely LO! The composition is so nice and I liked the sweet photo's peeking through. The lace mats are pretty and give a feminine touch.

This is just so beautiful!! I love the b&w photos mixed in with those beautiful purples and blues!! You have some amazing clustering and composition and I love the photo in the envelope!
