A mind of its own

This layout did have a mind of it's own... you should see how this come came about, it's first incantation was a BABY [first days] photo of tegan with a t-shirt saying "mummy's little princess" on it with a 'brown' background and the papers all used to make little 'hearts' - that didn't work. No matter how I played it didn't 'feel right' .. ditched hearts tried to come up with something else - nothing would work, ditched photo.. but some how the 'princess' thing stuck in my head. Then used the below photo which went from being a 'single' to a triple - to also from brown paper to white. I threw so many things at this layout and nothing would 'stick' ... I tried to add more to this and it just wouldn't work. Although I knew the layout looked fine it was just to 'white' to 'empty' not enough stuff... but no matter how hard I tried the layout wouldn't budge... it wanted to look like this... so who am I to argue??

I think I'm also disapointed becasue the papers I used for the 'princess' are AWESOME and I wanted to show them off a lot more ...
