Well, here is my first digi scrapbooking page! I am going to use this for his first birthday invitations (the font will go over the tag.) Anyway, I am just looking for some constructive criticism...I have no expirience with this, so I would love any help you ladies have to offer

I am wondering if it is too busy? I wanted to include those pictures (as it is a puppy themed party) But it seems like a lot to me.

Thanks ladies!

The image won't show up for me

ETA I can see it now.. my comp. must have been acting up.

I think it's very cute!! Those pics are darling!! I think for an invite, it might be hard to print. I would try making a 4x6 sized page so you can print them easier. Then keep in mind how small that is, so maybe make the pics a little bit bigger. But other than that, I think it's darling!!

WONDERFUL first page!!

Hi Bailey! I think you did a great job on the page - especially for your first one! The only tip I've got is that you might want to add drop shadows to a few of the other elements as well so they don't look so flat - like the green "clip" on lower left pic, the staple, the word tage, and the brown ribbon. That will create a little more depth and keep the page cohesive. The shadow shouldn't be offset too far, but just enough to give it a little bit of depth (like the other images on the page that already have the drop shadow).

I really like the colors and layout that you have and think it goes well with Noah's adorable pictures. Great job!!

Very cute! I love the idea to use it as an invite. I agree about trying it out smaller, but other than that I think it's adorable!
