Wow, time is just flying by so fast!

Is it Really the End of January Already? How did that happen?!

Here are my favourites from the galleries today!

Photoemphasis_vol05 by flohbock

Love the aqua against the browns, the  amazing photo and all the tiny details around it,
like the Dream Catcher, the bird feathers and the flower branches.
She rocked this template and certainly made it her own.

My Birthday Song by editorialdragon

I love them (Tears for Fears) so much!Time went by so quickly…
I remember this song from like way back. Songs for the high school class of 1985 are special for me because this is the year that I graduated high school.
The background really draws you into the centre when you look at it and refers to a time travel…

Brain Map by scrapper2009

Man o man, this looks fantastic!It has so much too look at, fabulous blending and tells a story that we can all relate to.
Love all the items in her mind and how she insert some symbols that reflect some moods, feelings, and states of being.
The old camera in the eyes place is a touch of genius!
This  image is so alive I can just about smell it!

Anyone Listening? by enelya

This page made me laugh!Love the humor and the truth in it as well…
I am always talking to myself as well, sometimes aloud but mostly quietly…LOL
I love the idea of the the thought bubbles  and her reflection in the mirror not listening.

Thunder Ridge Ranch by judy in SD

The fabulous  layering on this page really caught my eye!
I like the  photo and the colors that she used.Lots of details and textures going on here.
I want to reach in and touch it.  Amazing effect!!

Digidare 260 – advice for my girls by stampin_rachel

This page is soooo creative!!!!
Great advice list : Most people learn over time, but often learning comes too late to be fully useful.
There are certainly many things that I know now that would have been extremely useful to me earlier in my life…I love that fish! LOL…what is this fish lips?!!!

Colorful. Graphic. Thoughtful.

Don’t you agree that these layouts standout on their own?

Have a wonderful day!

The weather here in Brazil is so hot!!!Yes girls, here in BRAZIL is summer !!!!
I hate hot summers….But I love sunny days!
As I am constantly hot, even when others are cool or comfortable…
I’d rather be somewhere colder instead like my Northern Hemisphere friends !
Today is raining so hard that my power and internet connection are a bit crazy, so I’ll keep it short today.

Hope you enjoy these pages as much as I did!

017-01-12-iBelieve By CFALBRO 

My fist pick is this super cool, fun, colorful, and creative art journal page!
This super psychedelic background gives me a a “trippy” feel like that found on Beatles songs!

Make the Best of Each and Every Day {mixed media} by SarahBarberDesign

What a fun and delightful page! Love the curly doodle across the page, the quote and hand-written text!
Love the way that she used watercolor paints and pencils, Sharpie paint pens, alpha stickers and all the elements here!

Cost of Living 2012 by AnneofAlamo

I’m really loving her idea of making a time capsule for her life!
This page is so colorful and full of life !Love the realistic elements here!You can almost touch them!

Am I a worrywart? by twinsmomflor

All the elements here are perfect together and the blended photo is fabulous!
Besides this the amazingly heartfelt  journaling made this page even more special!

A wonderful page that caught my eye immediately!
Love how she transform the photo in a brush and a extraction sticker!

Captain Leander by mem

What a beautiful page, love the brushed words in the background, the perfect grunge effect and the pic of her great grandfather is amazing!
If you read the journaling at the 2nd page you’ll see a fascinating story!

Evening scrappers! I hope you are enjoying the last few hours of your weekend, here’s some eye candy from the galleries for you to enjoy on this Sunday evening!

Nativity by Bush Girl

What a great multi-photo page! The patterned papers in the frames and the muted colours here are really effective, allowing the photographs to shine whilst complimenting them.

My Dad, My Hero by RaquelS

I love the way the eye is lead round this page from the big titlework down the banners to the multi-arrowed photo and then round all the little details. Great colour choices too!

the proper care and feeding of a teenage boy by Elena

Ha ha! Such a fun title and a great snapshot of the life of a teenage boy (although only once a week for pizza seems a bit optimistic to me!!)

Caucus by norton94

A wonderful current affairs page with a brilliantly balanced composition. Adding the newspaper as part of the blocked design is a great little touch!

trompe l’oeil by timounette

What a striking page! These trompe l’oeil paintings are wonderful, I love the play between what’s real and what’s not and the yellow background paper is the perfect choice to really set this page off!

Fashion girl by zwyck

A different type of artsy in this page, check out the masterly blending here!

Good evening, scrappers! It’s a late night edition of the GSOs, due to lots of work and sick kids at my house. Thanks for being patient! I do have some beauties to share with you tonight.

Surf’s up by Jacinda
This layout simply popped out of the gallery!  The crisp colors, lovely layering and stunning use of the full page photo work together beautifully.

My Kinda Crazy by snaggletooth
I love the funky feel here! The element work is so detailed and perfectly done. I could look at it for hours and still see something new. Really cool piece of personal expression!

the birthday girl by gonewiththewind
The vintage photo treatments and strong page composition make this page very successful. I love the balance of feminine touches with fun teenage pics. Well crafted!

1976 by Stampin_Rachel
This is a brilliant piece of art journaling. The fun factoids about her birth year make this both meaningful and beautiful, a definite keepsake!

Slipping by Heather Prins
The journaling and evocative, emotional journaling make this a very powerful page, indeed. The stark color scheme perfectly reinforces the story. TFS.

Creating by hutchie
I love the clustering and flow to this layout. The sepia photos are a lovely choice against the kraft paper and pops of red. Just stunning!

Thanks for joining me tonight. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend!
