Finger Pointing (Sept 2)

Hello everyone, Krista here.  The weekend is almost here.... YAY!!  And for many us in the states that means a three day weekend (double yay)!!  But before I get ahead of myself, I have to let you know that I got majorly lost in the galleries today.  There were SO many beauties!!  Take a look at a few that caught my eye.

What a sweet dirty bum.  ha ha!!  I LOVE the scatters of elements, the brushwork and word art.  Just makes for a really elegant and sweet page.

 

i am lucky by mom.mia.kai

This design is AWESOME!  I LOVE all of the arrows and paper strips.  The whole page is really used so well!

 

Ophelia by Strange.Bird

WOW!!  WOW!!  Everyone must go take a look at this layout up close, becuase this is hand detailed FONT (yes, fontwork)  AMAZING.  I must've looked at this page for about 15minutes!

 

[Cute] by Gisela

I love the creative use of space and how all of the photos are laid out.  It's almost like a grid, linear design.  LOVE the mixture of all of the textures and colors.


Cool Sugar by annaaspnes

What a really cool page!!  I LOVE the doodles, scribbles, and odds and end pieces on the page.  And the layout is literally full of photos.  AMAZING designwork.

 

cups by Elena

I love how this layout really captures a story.  Photos, journaling, and the arrow and sign to draw you eye inward.  Love all of the taped up pieces.

 

Timeless Beauty by slurpeegirl13

What great photos for this 'storybook' page.  That titling and soft colors make it look just like that... it was meant to be in a storybook.   Beautiful!

 

ABC's of Me by lunafaerie

FUN FUN FUN!!  That's what this page tells me of you!!  I LOVE how you've used so much color with the black and white pic.  Great list too!

 

think positive by evitangel

This is such a wonderful evoking page.  I just want to keep looking at it!  LOVE the tight profile crop and your journaling!

 

 

Finger Pointing (Sept 1)

Wow...September already?  I can smell fall!  The warm colors, the cooler air, the kids are adjusting to school.  It's a great time of year!  Here are my picks for your Wednesday:

 

caits moments like this  I'm in love with the colors in this layout.  It's like every tone in the photo is repeated somewhere on the layout.  Fabulous!

 

Crystalbella77's You  I think Crystal should give lessons on design. Everything she does is placed thoughtfully with a perfect eye.  Gorgeous.

 

duniascrap's 34 years in 34 movies  Such a cute idea!  I like that she included a photo of herself too.

 

gingerandjake's just leap  This is so whimsical and definitely frame worthy!  I'd hang it in my family room! :)

 

jennV's how 'bout you?  Such a fun layout!  I love the use of a large photo, lots of journaling and fun elements.  Awesome titlework too.

 

Jippo's Sweet Slumber  Awwww...I'm have such a soft spot for kittys.  Really awesome composition and color choice for this sweet photo.

 

Joan's skate  Does it get any cooler than this?  I love the urban feel of the photos and the great clustering of elements.  Fab!

 

Melissa Hill's Think Fresh  I love gardening layouts!  This one features some great paper choices and the multi colored title highlights the fresh feeling of the layout.

 

zuzanar's one fine day  Once again, a layout that pulls out the colors in the photos and creates a cohesive look.  Great blending and brushwork!

Finger Pointing - August 31st

I have a serious case of scrapper's envy tonight. My laptop died and has been at the repair depot for weeks. I still have several more weeks to go before it's returned and do I ever miss scrapping! The beautiful layouts in the gallery today had me itching for Photoshop and some creative time. I hope they do the same for you, but that you get a chance to indulge! As for me, I am counting the days. In the mean time, I am taking a few weeks off from GSO posts because it takes soooooo long on my ancient desktop. I know the rest of the team will keep the eye candy coming though. OK, enough yakking...let's get to the picks for today.


Our Wedding by Lisa85
The neutral, yet dramatic palette in this page combined with the beautiful cascading composition and stunning pictures make it a definite standout.


One Cute Little Dinosaur by mamabear
I really love how she executed the theme with all of the dinosaurs and layering, but still keeps the focus on that adorable picture. Really fun page!

 

Neverending Love by svetypsik
The use of light and shadows in this page is really lovely, great clustering and flow too.


Beacon by scullen2
Make sure you read the journaling on this one! It's not only a beautiful page, but a very emotional commentary on this scrapper's life. Great blending, the touch of sparkle is perfect!

 

running on empty by joannknnrd
I love symbolism and drama in this page. The juxtaposition of the blue sky silhouette against the dark stormy background is genius. Great work!

 

It's always summer somewhere by mrsaboyer
As we say goodbye to summer this week in the US, this page pays wonderful homage to the joys of the season. Great extractions and title work!

 

Today by tania
I am a huge fan of everyday moment scrapping, so this gem really caught my eye. I love the paper piecing, the great details and, most of all, the journaling!

 

you by sokee
This layout makes such cool and unique use of white space, which accentuates that darling puppy face! Fab work!

 

Sweet Escape by Yulik
I adore the playful colors and adorable pictures on this page. The layered element work makes it even more fun!

 

That's all for me today. I hope you enjoyed the standouts. I will see you back here in a few weeks... in the mean time, give Photoshop my love! ;)

Storm Fears by anrobe

This is so striking, the monochrome scheme with just the touch of red is so effective and the journalling block is placed in the perfect place!

the greatest pleasure by emmii

Great blending work and I love the photos cascading down the page and landing in the sand at the bottom! The pops of pink in the photos are a great contrast to all the blue.

Oh what a gloriously happy, sunshiney page! The journalling is great here and the combination of blending work and all the paper layers on the sunshine yellow background works so well.

Wonderful use of heavily patterned paper and a great balance between the grey and yellow tones here.

She by skyezak

This is really cleverly put together, the soft tones and shadows with the touches of black are really effective.

The black, white and red combination here is so striking (no pun intended, ha ha!) but what really makes this page for me is the strip of grass running all the way across!
