days like these by Cherry

I love the zingy green and all the grids here, great use of scale too.

Cheery Day by ginamichelle1111

Ahhhhh, this is such a wonderful page! A fun homage to Magritte and the shadowing is spot on.

Rain Rain by hollyinjapan

Hhmmm, now here's a sentiment I can relate to! I really like the bright colours and the comic strip feel this has, the little puddle and rubber duckie and such fun little finishing touches!

1970 Charger by kcherrie

I had to have a Father's Day page in here today and this one really caught my eye with the mixture of extraction and graffiti style doodles!

Time Out by maghenrey

Here's one that helps to balance out all the bright colour so far :) Such fabulous brushwork here, the effect on the photo works so well too.

little garden helper by misfitinmn

Great great GREAT use of colour here from the orange paper piece to the sunshine filters on the photos, wonderful!

Joy by mom2peanuts

A beautifully happy series of photos and excellent shadow work made this page a definite standout for me as soon as I saw it!

little bird by Nachtamazone

The soft colours here are beautifully handled and work as the perfect backdrop for the small but brightly coloured photos. The purple ribbon adds just the right amount to colour to balance everything out.

Grads 2010 by scullen2

A great collage with some fun crops! A simple but hugely effective way of recording so many memories of one special day, lovely titlework too.

Finger Pointing - June 19th

Welcome to the Saturday edition! I hope you are all having an enjoyable weekend. My afternoon BBQ plans have been spoiled by a huge thunderstorm, so I'm taking some solace in the beautiful galleries today. Here are my picks:

 

Listen Closely by jenn33199
Powerful, whimsical and inspiring! I love everything about this, particularly the doodles and title with the broken pencil.

 

Perfect Welcome by yari
This is incredibly sweet and beautiful, with a great mix of patterns and elements. It's a wonderful story that she's captured perfectly.

 

sunglasses by fernandabalieiro
I love the funky style and clustering on this page! Too fun!

 

Kitty by KayM
This is incredibly crisp and cheery, very well crafted in every detail.

 

Splash by cherryberry
This layout brings the photos alive with all of the motion and flow to the page. Superb layering and element work!

 

précieux pissenlit by Lynne-Marie
The photo is the star here. It's a wonderful pic with lovely processing. The clean style here is a winner!

 

Backyard Adventures II by domad
Incredibly detailed and energetic boy page! I love the colors and sheer happiness in this one.

 

wild rumpus by Elena
Oh my! As a dog lover, this layout made me laugh and then cringe for the sake of the couch! The photo sequence is amazing and tells the whole story, but the added journaling kicks it up to perfection. Great use of white space here as well.

 

Emily by Irenchen
Girly gorgeousness!! This is so luscious and beautiful, with spectacular layering and light throughout the entire piece.

 

That's all for me today. Have a great Saturday!

Finger Pointing (June 18)

Happy Friday to everyone! There is some serious drop dead gorgeousness in the galleries this morning!! I am totally loving the variety of styles these days. Here is a little something for everyone.

The Ring Leader by ArmyGrl

How much fun is this page?!?! I love the bobble head effect, the banner, the background...well the whole shebang!

Albern by Jule

The combo of the grunge and pure white here is totally awesome! It really makes the page POP!

Agua Lemon by Jimena

I could stare at this page FOREVER!!! I adore the perspective and the execution is pure perfection. This is seriously one of my most favorite pages ever!!!

My Way by josette31

Josie is one of the Queens of Clustering. So much amazing depth and detail here. The colors are just perfect for a teen page too.

Oh My Love by Veronique

Oh my, indeed! What a magical and lovely place to rest. The warm lighitng on this gives page gives it such an ethereal feeling. Stunning page!

Arthur by Dani Vignoli

What a wonderful way to document this amazing moment in time. I love how everything is tied together with the doodles. Fun and sweet. Fabulous page!

Birthday Boy by Magda_lena

I think it is sometimes a little hard for people to make their extractions really look part of a page....but that soooooo not the case here. Magda did it perfectly! Look at the tone of the photo to the page....perfect match. This page is just as sweet as can be!!!

Running With Scissors by madigirl

If you know me, then you know this is one of my favorite sayings. This piece is so clever and so witty. I am completely over the moon in love with it!

Love You by Luciana Orikassa

How sweet is this page? I love the word strips and all the other little details. One of the things that really grabbed me was how the fence in the photo actually became part of the design elements. Isn't that cool? I am totally smittened here!

 

Finger Pointing (June 17)

Hello all!!  Krista here with some amazing standouts!  There must be a theme in the air,  because it seems that most of my picks for today are more graphic or blockish in nature.  Refreshing to see this different style verses traditional scrap pages, if just for today.  I hope you are inspired by them too!

 

uncut - dare #183 by Amanda1201

This layout is so clever.  I LOVE the repeating photo, but the "sticker" cut-out version makes this page.  I MUST try this technique.  But what made me a little teary eyed was the jouranling.  Great job mama, you will cherish all of these amazing tid-bits.

Chevauchée Fantastique by ingridfasquelle

LOVE the grungy feel to the page, with the black and white pics!!  There is so much depth and realism in the shadowing on the flowers, like I could touch them.

Elis by luzaine

Everyone loves a sleeping baby...but there is so much adorable-ness on this page.  The overlapped blocking, the word snips... purely perfection.

 

Paris2010_ by conorsmum

LOVE the graphic feel to this layout.  I feel I get a sense of this whole trip in this one page.  LOVE all of the photos, and the design in fitting them all together just right.

 

Little Miss Silly Bird by BrendaJ

What a cute title.... I stared at it for quite a bit.  And that photo just makes me smile.  Love the childlike essence in this layout!

hello_2 by ReSales

What a classy, beautiful look.  I love the clean lines and use of white space and the colors and embellishments are all so delicate.

 

lifting jalong by roxygirl78

What a neat technique.  LOVE the colorfulness, with the graphic black and white cutout!

follow your heart by Crystalbella77

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.  Such a unique design with the raised squares and the cut-out squares.  Such a clean feel with the cream paper, with the pops of color!

Thank You by Deca

LOVE this block work, with the mixture of colors and patterns.  Yet, my eye still goes straight to the photos and hearts.  SO SWEET!

 

Finger Pointing (June 16)

Good morning!  I'm happy to report the sun is finally shining here!  From all the news reports, it looks like a good portion of the US has had rain rain and more rain.  Not good!  I want summer!

Here are my picks for today:

Zenobia's love animals  I absolutely love the cluster of animals that creates a partial frame for that adorable photo and journaling.  Great job!

 

tinamarie's Miss Personality  Amazing brushwork!  There really isn't anything else to say....this is a stunner.

 

mrs_jb's ipod bonding  I was taken in by the sweet photo.  I love the brown, orange, teal color combo as well.

 

my3hens Her Day  So sweet!  I love the photos and the layering of elements is perfection.

 

kewl_jive's ~In the eyes of a child~ Love the soft colors, the clean lines and wonderful photocrop.  Notice she mixed it up a bit with the journaling at an angle.

 

Kathy Wagner's URloved  Strong colors play off the urban look of the photos, love the title work and that she took the same photo and cropped it 3 different ways.

 

JenLin's H20 Fight!  Wow, great photo!  I love the blending in the background of the sky, the placement of the title and how the paper blocks balance out the page.

 

JenJ's silly pics  Just overall great design here!  I love the photos and the way she did the journaling lines.  Fab!

 

allinesc's com30  Wow...I adore this page.  It looks like it's made completely of found objects, things you'd find in your grandmas closet, or a flea market.  All the little pieces come together to create a rich, textured LO.
