Finger Pointing – May 16th

16 May

Hey there Everyone! Hope you are having a great week!
Here are my picks for today….

Head and Shoes by lharvey81

Love that cute little boy blowing the bubbles and the sketched effect image here!
Great use of brushes and mix of patterns too.

Unbalanced by DALE

It’s amazing how she can put all these elements and words together without being in such a beautiful way!Everything about this works so well!

Easter Joy by editorialdragon

Just love the paper placement here!Remind me of sunshine and emphasizes the focal photo.
This is so wonderfully composed, the starburst design ties everything together so well!
This is a clever use of a “spring” soft colour palette!

yo! Sup? by snaggletooth

What a great way to document this!It’s so vibrant, high energy, and happy page!
I love all the elements and pieces of paper with all the different patterns scattered here and there.

Go … by janedee

I really like the simple one line approach here! Love the Bleu/Blanc/Rouge colors.
Great use of masks and brushes too, design and use of white space too.

quick snapshots by zitz

This is such a great way to use a lot of photos in a page!!!!The almost monochromatic colors left the layout clean and light, even with so many elements on it.Not to mention the fact that I just couldn’t resist those cute pics!

Hope you all enjoyed these as much as I did!
See you next week!

Finger Pointing – May 15th

15 May

Hey Friends!  I hope you’re having a happy Tuesday and I hope you like my pics for today!

Fabulous by Gonewiththewind

I really love this layout for the fact that nothing is quite as expected – the shapes are a bit wonky, the colors are cool, and the font is a bit jumbled and really fun.  I just think it’s fabulous, because of course, it IS.

Happy Place by orachel

I can’t help it, I’m drawn like a moth to the light for layouts that are just so vibrant with color. This is one of those layouts! The details, like the rainbow and the grass are just amazing. I especially how she made it for a dear friend. That’s beautiful.

Let’s Fly by Dalis

I love the fun photo, the bits of lace and butterflies, and the excellent brushwork that make this layout extra special.  Even the journaling font is fun and just shouts how happy everybody is.

Supermodel by blanluak

Color, a great photo, and bits of cool layering abound in this fun, splashy layout.  I especially love how bright the colors are brushed over the black and white photo, and how the flowers look like they’re falling down and off the page.  Very creative!

Numbers Game by thursnext

I just love this edgy, colorful sporty layout.  The brush work is great, the title work, and the colorful photo treatment make it super artsy but still super easy to get what it’s all about.  I especially love the photo, it’s great!

That’s it for me tonight!  I hope you like my pics and I’ll see you again next week!

Finger Pointing – May 13

13 May

Hello, everyone! Katherine here again and wishing all of you MOM’S out there a happy and blessed Mother’s Day! Really hope that you all have enjoyed your special day! My choices for today are . . .

Up first is One day they will understand by Alegna.
Really LOVE this photo-less layout with its oh so true message!   Really gave me a giggle (mainly because I said and say the same things – funny how that happens huh?!)! Click through the link and read her journaling (I’m sure you’ll get a giggle too!). =]

Next is That Homey Feeling by Flohbock.
This is such a beautiful layout. Really love the simplistic design with all the blues, purples, and oranges. Who’d have thought they would look so good together. And the photo . . . simply gorgeous! Love the perspective and the processing is spot on! Well done!

Who’s the boss? by Naadi is my next choice.
Another really simple design . . . yet so effective! The use of color against the black and white is fantastic! Really causes you to focus in on the photos! Which are amazing by the way! Can’t help but smile when you look at them!

Aaaanndd . . . another Project Life layout (I think I had TWO Project Life layouts in my last post), Project Life Week 19 by nicleblanc.
Such an amazing grouping of photos! Really LOVE the linear feel in the overall design. The choice of elements used really accentuates the photos perfectly!

Captured by caramellche literally JUMPED out of the gallery at me and I just couldn’t pass up giving it a Standout!
Such a gorgeous layout! REALLY love the deep yellow paired with the neutral tones. Such brilliant use of color! The design is absolutely phenomenal! And so many little details! I could sit and stare at it for hours!

And to round out my choices on this very special day . . . MOM by Kimberly Morris.
Such a beautiful way to capture the memory of receiving her very first piece of “Mother’s jewelry.” And though the layout itself is beyond GORGEOUS with all its layering and clustering, and all the many, many details that have been included . . . the journaling is what makes this layout so deserving of a Standout! 

Well that’s it for me! I hope you’ve enjoyed my choices! Again, Happy Mother’s Day! Truly hope your special day is FULL of blessings! See you all in the galleries!

Hello, scrappers! Rúbia is here! Hope you are having a nice friday! :)
I decided this month go back to do pages and this makes me see scrapbooking digital with another eyes, you know? And I’m happy!! With all CTs requeriments sometimes we can forget to do a page for simple pleasure. To only “save this important moment” to the future, you know? Anyway… Hope you can also remember that scrapbooking is fun and important to YOU and your family! :)

So, let’s see what is standouts today on the galleries! :)

sadie by Celeste – I love the “simplicity” here and all white space! And the cut out title is awesome!!

More than a Mother by kewl_jive – Ok! I love all Beth’s pages! She always bring something different with her unique style! In this page, the colors are so delicate and that composition is SO beautiful… I just love it!

playground by creashens – I dont know you, but for me she’s one of the most talented designers… AND I love when she scrap! :) This page is SO cute with all hearts and butterflys… and this precious photo! I love it!

By my side by juhh – look those angles on this page! could this be more fun and awesome?! and I’ll not even talk about the shadows. :)

The Short Century by Blues – wow! this is SO cool! Love the “dark” colors here and frames and brushes and doodles! I really do!! :)

Finding Me by heathergw – I think most of people how much I love her pages! For me, she is one of the best scrappers today. Yes, she is. And she knows I think this from her. And here’s her giving me reasons to continue to think this. All details, the photos behind the elements, all that you can’t see, but you can FEEL with this page… This makes this page something, right?

Well, I have to say that was difficult to choose only 6 pages today! The galleries are full of beautiful pages! Go and have a look! And don’t forget to have fun!! :)
Have a great weekend! See you soon!!

Finger Pointing – May 10

10 May

Hello all! It’s Krista here, I’ve been away from picks for a couple weeks and boy, I’ve missed it! It is always such a relaxing and fun time to search through the galleries, and I love getting lost in all of the inspiration. Here are few that I had to share with you all today.

A Baby Story by Heather Prins
This layout makes me have baby fever. I love babies, and these photos are such precious ones. This page has such a soft, beautiful glow and it gives such loving and tender feelings.

Just You by Jana Morton
This page is ALL about the photos and the details. I love to see those everyday items cropped in the photos to focus on the things that make up your day. Great mix of blended photos along with the framed photos.

AAM by beszteri
I love the use of black and white photos… it always helps to capture more of a ‘feeling’. And this photo definitely shows that. The question based journaling is a great way to capture facts, and I love that it looks so handwritten with a blue pen.

happy birthday by mymalloryboys
What an amazing page! The use of papers, patterns, color, photos and blends make this page so incredible.

Making Mud Pie by taniashaw
What a great way to tell your story using your photos. I love the unique crop on the photo, and the stark contrast to the page and pattern paper… beautiful composition.

spidey-pirate by AmberR
WOW!! What a great way to document this! I love the use of the messy paints and scribbles to capture and help tell the story.
