Gallery Standouts

To provide an environment of reflection and growth in the art of scrapbooking

Finger Pointing (September 27)

Hi everyone, Kate here with today's Standouts. Thankfully, I am married to a computer genius so here I am sharing my picks with you after a crazy couple of days with my PC in pieces! I was starting to get serious withdrawal symptoms, it's good to be back!

arianescrap's Miles Away

I love how Ariane has managed to create an "out of this world" feel here with all the spirals and paint splats, the photo is fabulous (great crop) and I really wish I could understand the journalling.

Bouille's The Pink Sunglasses

I just noticed the similarities between this photo and the one above, seems I'm drawn to pics of girls in glasses! This is such a cute little conversation, the strong blocked design gives just the right amount of white space for her to be looking into. Lovely.

Cristina's The Aerobatics Show

Check out the cute little areoplane shaped cropping on the small photos! Such fun.

Jarila's Outside

Such a clever composite photo and lovely blending work, the little dandelions at the bottom are a great finishing touch!

Linz's No Volume Control

This made me laugh out loud when I saw it! That photo, that title, I can almost hear the noise!!

mom2peanuts' Imagine

Magical, utterly magical. I love the colours and the shadowing here, the journalling is the icing on the cake - fabulous page!

Nolaé's La mer

A great example of a multi-photo page that doesn't feel overwhelming or crowded. This is so beautiful, the controlled colour palette and paint work so well with the scattered pops of red.

Ranne Cássia's Compulsão

And now a multi-photo page that's chaotic and colourful and a real feast for the eyes! Just look at all the goodies here! Everything is pulled together with the careful colour scheme of the papers, paint and doodles. Very cleverly done. Great shoes too.

yossarian's my monster

I love these colours, the effect on the photo and the photo mask, the whole thing just makes me smile.

Hi!
I see, everytime your blog. I really like your choises.
My english isn't so good, but i think you can understand it anyway.
So, i will translate first scrap work's journaling.
So, i will try:

Everything i want is miles away
Be away from my parent...my home...my stuff...all that look silly things. But, everyday i miss it.
Everyday i remember that all i want is miles away.

Thanks a lot for nominating my page for GSO, it's such a honour being there and more for being nominated by you, who I admire so much...
It's a significated page for me, because it says how I miss my things every day... I'm living away from my family, because of job, and journaling says:

"Being away of my parents... my house... my stuff... all this seems silly, but everyday I miss them a lot...
Everyday I remember that all I want more is away from me"...

Really, really, really thanks, you've made my day so much better!!!
