...is in the eye of the beholder. I thought that title went perfect with this picture - I just love how excited Brailee gets every time she finds a 'wish' - and I let her spread her wishes all around my yard because I love to see her so full of joy ;-P

I used the following PageMaps sketch for their Studio Calico sketch contest.
I love this picture, even though it's not the best - Brailee looks fine but the flower was hard to see because of the shadow and its soft/light look so I tried to enhance it with a Dimensional Element circle and a little vellum - I stamped the vellum to create another flower overlay - I don't think you can see it in this picture or not. So then I decided, to go with the sketch, and continue the vellum look, I stamped more flowers on vellum and adhered them up the side. That's where this layout loses it for me - now I look back and wonder if vellum is the way to go or if I should have used a transparency again like I did with THIS layout. What do you think? After I added the vellum I just kinda stopped with this layout as I'm just not thrilled with it - I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

Jena, I like the LO a lot. It has a soft, natural effect with the vellum. The photo is simply precious with your perfect caption too. You have two totally different looks with the "Treasures"--I wouldn't change a thing! Great job as usual. :) Blessings!
Beautiful page! And I love the vellum - it gives a very nice, soft look. I think a clear transparency may be too bright and 'harsh' looking for the soft colors of the layout and the 'feel' of the dandelion.
What a beautiful sweet moment captured! I love the whole design idea about this layout.
I wonder if though, instead of using vellum or a transparency, if you could use embossing powder to highlight the dandelions. I'm thinking some clear and others with white, or maybe some glittery transparent stuff. My eye is drawn immediately to your dimensional element, but it's hard to see that there is a dandelion in it, I just see the element.
I don't know if this helps at all, but wanted to give you some suggestions that popped into my head as I looked at the layout. I'm no expert by any means.
Btw, the cookies tasted a little dry to me, but the girls loved 'em and they are all gone now! *Ü* Thanks for asking about it. lol
What a beautiful page. The stamp set and paper go so well with that sweet pic, great job.
