    These photos were taken with my first and very poor quality digital camera. I've scrapped the cropped in photos before focussing on my daughter's face. For this page I used the wider shot that show that my son had joined in the fun as well. There were lots of other people in the background and a big black space in the bottom right hand corner, (hence previous crops) but I just went with it and covered some of the flaws with embellishing.

    What a great idea. My photo is not great uncropped, so the focus had to be on journaling or title. It took the page in a different direction than usual! Thank you.

    I had the hardest time with this challenge. As I looked through my photos I discovered that I don't shoot as tight as I thought I did, but that when I shoot wide, it's for a purpose and I didn't want to crop in as a coordinate photo because I shot wide intentionally! I believe in the background! haha!

    It's such a lovely picture of her up close but it tells you nothing about the day without the vastness of the dam in the background.

    Normally, I would have cropped the big photo a little closer to David and eliminate some of the busyness of the airshow. But I decided not to for this, because the airshow is all about busy. I also used challenge to include a slightly larger picture of David.

    I usually crop my photos but I can see it erase some of the stories ~ like in this one I used - one of our cats on the balcony

    I love to play with sketching and scenery, so I take lots of pictures of buildings and streets, but I don't want the heads of people on the bus to be in the page.
