There is always a reason to Smile

What a womnderful layout. I love the paint behind your lovely photo  and the strip in the corner. 

Nice job on the challenge I like the yellow paint and the black line over the photo and around the edge

Nice capture of the shadow on your photo. That's often so hard to do. I like the white space with the subtle border touches.

The gold paint strokes against this grey are just stunning and your placement sublime. Also really love the narrow line framing echoed by the stitched page outline. 

I love the way you've used the square ink frame twice! It's such a beautiful layout, and the element in the corner and the paint behind the photo pair so well together.
