So, for me "re-do" a layout is quite a stretch... So, as I really was thinking about it, I had a tip that I do that I wanted to share with you... Not really a re-do, but kinda along those lines....
When I finish a layout.... I look at it, evaluate it (not like cross-examination or anything...lol!).... but as I'm looking at it, I ask myself these questions:
1) What are 3 things that I LIKE about this layout.....
2) What are 3 things that I DON'T LIKE about this layout....
Then, I mentally make a note of the things that I liked.... good to have those thoughts to use again later!!
Then I look at the things I didn't like...and I think... "Can I fix or change those things to make it better?"...sometimes I can't...and that's ok (again mental note for next time)...... But sometimes I CAN make a little adjustment or change that eliminates one of the "dislikes"....
So, with that in mind.... let me share this layout with you....
Now I scrap indoors, after dark and don't have natural light..... so even after I took a picture of this layout, I didn't see anything wrong. But then I loaded the picture on my computer and I went.. OH MY...that teal color tape DOESN'T MATCH COLORS AT ALL!!!!! (See it above the word STORM & at the left edge of the border below the photo? )..... YIKES!!
So, my quick re-do...... removed it and added some Tim Holtz tape in a neutral color....
Much better!!
So don't forget to take a quick look at your layouts and make an adjustment or two....or just make some mental notes for next time (good or bad!)....
Loveeeeeee the tape change!! It probably wouldn't have bothered me (or I wouldn't have noticed the color off-ness...lol!) but I like how you changed it to the neutral color tape.... I see the difference and I love it!! And I loveeeeeeeeeeee that photo of Joseph... tooooooooooooo cute!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):)
