Gallery Standouts

Hi everyone!  It’s Amy and I’m back after a long hiatus to help out this summer.  It will be fun to get back into the galleries and see all your gorgeous layouts.

Home Town by Akizo

The bright colors of this layout really grabbed my attention.  The title work and big circle draw the eye to the photos.  Very fun layout!

The Real Me by Chaos Lounge

I love the brushwork on this layout.  The repetitive photo, the small details and descriptive words all lend to a fabulous about me layout.

mommy love by Dalis

I think it’s hard to make a black and white layout really pop, but this one is the exception.  I love the mix of pattern papers, the swirls and title work.  The little details of ink and confetti are thoughtful additions that don’t detract from the overall design.

today was a good day by gonewiththewind

Not only do I love this page, I love the photos.  The magnifying glass really magnifies the photo (nice touch) and the photo of the back of the camera is one of those shots we see everyday but don’t document.  I love it!

Take a chance by Jacqueline

Awesome large scale photo!  The placement of the elements are perfect and I really love the addition of the brushwork and confetti.

mother’s day by *Lynnette*

This one is simple and sweet.  I love the placement of the circles and the journaling.  They add a horizontal element that pulls the eye across the page.  Just a few gold touches pulls it all together.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!  You know what that means…Friday is just a day away!

Hello, everyone! Paula here bringing you today’s Standouts!I’m recovering from a huge jaw pain (just related to surgery that I made 5 years ago), this is the 1st day in a week that I’m OK!

There are so many wonderful things going on in this layout,from the super cool blending, to the title alpha’s choice.

This next page is so cool, totally speaks to me because I’m a true coffee addict!What a fabulous elements choice…So touchable!I really love realistic pages!I can almost smell the fantastic rich aroma, taste the fresh roasted, freshly ground coffee now!!!

Dirty Little Secret by naughtsncrosses

Anyone who knows me knows I have a huge crush on him too so this page certainly jumped out of the gallery at me.I’m those who might not necessarily watch Dirty Job for the show, but more Because of Mike Rowe…So I totally agree I love his voice and…face!LOL
Besides this I really love the tittle work and the durtyness here!

Bookworm by scrappyt

This last page is fantastic.I love the colors, the cluster, the photo, journaling ( I like the idea of write the journals on the files) and the realistic shadows and the depth on this page is terrific, so touchable.I want to reach out and pick that ribbon bow and leave from the page!

Well, the world has been facing unspeakable tragedy lately, We have been witness to a building collapse disaster in Bangladesh to the horrific scene in Boston to the plant explosion in West, Texas that I would like to finish tonight’s post with some well wishes for those affected by this week’s severe weather in Oklahoma. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends.

Hi everyone!

This is Beth a.k.a. kewl_jive bringing you today’s gallery standouts. First of all, I would like to offer a prayer to those who were hit by the massive tornado in Oklahoma, USA. My heart goes to everyone out there, including them in my prayers.

Here are my top picks for today :)

Life Lesson #8: Mistakes by kiki00star
I just love this whole composition. Such a great lesson to live by, love what she wrote here. I truly agree with what is written here, we should all learn from our mistakes and try our best not to do them again. Love the shadows too.

to my heart by Margje
This really caught my eyes in the gallery. Love all the brush works and how she recolored the photos and the treatment she added on all the pics. Amazing title work and the messy stitches, everything here is just perfect!

In your hands by hollieh
So magical! I love everything she did here, the extraction is great too. I can stare on her page for a long time and not get bored. I always love when she creates a page like this. So delicately done!

road less traveled by mrs2a50
Great action shot! Love the white space and design. Perfect use of background paper as it goes well with the photo. Love the kit she used and how she used the elements. Gorgeous!

Swing by Beatrice
Adorable photos! Fantastic use of elements and papers. Love the colors, the balance she created and the butterflies around. Such a happy page, well done.

Love wall art by kv2av
This is such a great idea! I would love to do something like this. Awesome work! I would love to see this hanging on my wall.

As always, thanks for taking a peek at the pages I’ve chosen. If you have time, it would be great to stop by and give them some love in the galleries.

Have a nice day/night!

Hi everyone, happy Whitsunday!! Jeanine here with six beauties I picked from the galleries today!

Devoted by Zizazzi I love big picture pages! And this one is the second half of a double page. You should take a look at both of them together, they fit so well!! I love the way it shows that the children are having a lot of fun at the pier. And I love the smaller pictures together with the large one telling the whole story. Great page!

Where’s the sun by Madigirl yes, where is the sun!! It’s cold and wet over here in Holland and I sure hope with Madigirl the sun won’t stay away this summer! We had some cold and wet summers in the years before…brrrr. The colors in this one bring a little warmth at least. Love the poppies and all the little splats and brushes. And did you see the musicsheet shining through?

Enjoy the ride by LindyShay another funny artistic way to document where your feet were. I like the misty feel of this page very much and the colorpalette of the brushes on the left side is beautifully chosen. Would want to walk there…Gorgeous page!

Addiction — sugar by dvhoward As a non sugar lover I cannot relate to the sugar addiction, but with a sugar addicted friend I understand it’s hard sometimes to not take sugar products. I hope you will overcome your addiction or maybe take some healthier products instead. Your page is beautiful with all the brushes, stamps, lines and stitches!

39 Again by mollyscraps I was attracted by the characters and numbers floating around in this ATC card. The red accents (title, flame and postmark) add an interesting touch to the page. Love it!

Awesome by Keela what a colorful and happy page! There are so many details in this page to look at! All the little stars, arrows, different borders and did I mention the colors?? Yes, a very cheerful page!

This was it for tonight folks! Hope you like my choices! See you next week!

What a fun, messy, girly layout! It’s a truly amazing beautiful page!The color palette is so happy matching with the so well extracted photos making them pop off the page. And the journaling with different fonts is absolutely brilliant!

 ghetto trampoline by AnneofAlamo

Love everything about this one: mess, shadows, photos, ellies…There are so many goodies in here! There are a lot of masterfully well-placed messy stitching giving a sense of movement, and lots of little details finish the page off perfectly.

dreamer10 by mhreen08

The happy color pallete is what drew me in to take a closer look at this gorgeous layout. Love how the photo has been processed and colored by the brushes with the same kit colors.

Hey everyone! Jaimee here with today’s Gallery Standouts! Check it out..

DARE to Come Out Of Hiding by Mary H

A wonderfully inspiring layout here with neutral warm colors and a great photo treatment to match. I really like the rawness of the painted elements / paper and the subtle ‘Alive’ printed through the title. Beautiful!

Mothers Day by beccanicole05

I love the neutrality and the geometric way the composition comes together. What a stunning layout. The photo’s fit perfect with the combinations of papers. So simple and beautiful!

Week 19 by gracielou

This is such a great page! I love the boldness of the week and the way the photo’s, elements and journaling are laid out! The masking of the page into the background paper makes this extra unique as a pl page. Fabulous documentation page!

Mother’s Day by margote05

Here is a beautifully laid out minimalistic page. Brush work, a little word art and a beautiful photo is all it takes to make an impressionable layout like this! The photo that sits on the mat gives it a realistic look too:) Love it!

coco-digiscrapeuse

Another simplistic layout here with some nice brush work and nice photo! I like the way the frame overlaps the photo to focus on the man there. Pretty page!

Anna Challenge-shoot where you stand by Ang

I absolutely fell in love with this unconventional layout! The creative masking and idea of documenting your shoes – I love it! Great page!
