This is really wonderful! Those photos really tell a story! Your paper choices are perfect and look great with the stitching! Love the distressing/brush work in the back! Great choice for your title work too!
In the beginning I thought that the photos needed framing. But then as I looked they seemed to pop out more at me.. Maybe the middle photo needs to be on top of the striped paper.
I really like the layout and clustering though. Also love the memory attached.
Your title is awesome, love all the paper clippings that match around the same sizes of the photos. I like the brush in the background, very neat fishing layout!
