Need some advice


I made this layout as a gift for a friend that lost her 18 yr old son 4 years ago to a blood disease.
(Wish it was a better picture)
When he was little she would call him her little monkey.
The advice I need is... do I put, My little Monkey as the title or do I leave it w/o a title?
I know the colors are girly but I made it to match the colors of her bedroom where I think she would keep it & I figure she could put 2 of her favorite pictures of him as a little one in black & white.
I am going to put it in a shadowbox frame that I am going to crackle paint, she is into shabby chic and the distressed look.
Also, I added Angels wings to the Monkey because now he is an angel watching over her. Do you think that is too much?
Need some help please.

  2. I would add the title. I think it will have an even more special meaning for her. Great job!

  4. That is so beautiful and so thoughtful. I think the title is a great thought as well but I might cut it out and give to her to add after she puts her photos in. She may want to layer it over a photo depending on the pics she uses and if there is any open space. Either way, she will LOVE it!!
