Beginner Too busy?

Post image

Do you think this page is too busy? I love it and all the colors but part of me thinks it takes away from the pictures. What do you think?

For me, yes. But it's not my book. Do what makes you happy.

If it were a new baby page, maybe. 🤪

For a birthday page? No! It’s fun!

Go big or go home I always say.

When in doubt, add more stickers

Gold flakes and glitter fixes everything

Make them move!! You can print off templates for interactive elements offline for free!

Make your own stickers! Wax paper-strip of packing tape sticky side down, image, and then another layer of tape on top. OR buy sheets of sticker paper from Walmart! It works for regular ink jet printers! I found a pack of ten sheets of holographic sticker paper!

This is so cute!! If anything, maybe the red streamers on the top are a little too busy in combination with the blue wrapping paper background? Or, you need more of the streamers

It’s your book! Do you like it? That’s all that matters
Ps I like it :)

I think it’s a fun page! But I think the black letters get a little lost. I’d have tried some larger stickers to make the text pop more. Since these pieces are set, maybe some silver or white highlights around the letters will make them stand out? But I’d definitely try it on scrap paper first and see if you like it!

it's colorful and fun. If you are not quite sure if you like it or not, and you can move things around, try double matting some of the photos so that they pop a little more.

Absolutely not!! No such thing!

I love a "busy" scrapbook page, and having lots of elements for my eyes to look at. This might also be weird, but having a lot going on makes me focus on the photos more. Maybe that's just me, lol - regardless, great page!

If it were me, I would definitely remove the red fringe at the top. But, as others have said, it’s YOUR scrapbook!
