The b & w photo looks stunning with the lavender and silver. Great for a heritage page.

Hey Debi - You asked for some critique on your page in the Alumni forum, so here is a bit from me.....
I love the flowers clustered around the frame, and I think the frame is perfect for a heritage photo. Here are a couple things you can try:
1. Mpre focus on the photo.
Perhaps you could try to enlarge the photo quite a bit so that much of the extraneous background is removed (cropped out), and their heads are closer to the top of the frame. This will probably make the photo interfere with the rectangular portion of the frame. A couple solutions for that would be to alter the frame just a bit to delete the rectangular portion or to play around with resizing the photo to see how far you can enlarge it without mushing it into the sides of the inner frame.
2. Add some "movement" to the page.
How about angling the journaling paper and text so the the upper left corner leans out to the left and the lower right corner lean in toward the photo. You might just play around a bit and try angling the frame, flowers and photo and tilting it slightly the opposite way from the journaling - or even placing the journaling a bit under the photo and frame.
Remember - This is your page, so please don't feel that you must take any of these suggestions to heart. You won't hurt my feelings. Designing is such an iterative process. I tend to try different things on my pages. Some work and some don't. LOL.
