Finger Pointing – September 11, 2026

September 11th is a bit of a somber day for those of us in the U.S. The 25th anniversary of a tragic event that changed our lives forever. Today’s post wouldn’t be complete without featuring this amazing tribute page. NEVER FORGET!!

9/11 Never Forget by cfile

Beautiful photo and journaling. I love the painted floral background, and the sketch of the towers is amazing. A beautiful memorial.

Autumn Beauty by vickyday

On a much lighter note, this page really made me smile with the fun, colorful brush work and the whimsical daisies. Wonderful use of color and great composition.

Through the Dark by Sherly

As someone who identifies as an artsy scrapper, I’m loving all the artsy goodness here. Fantastic layering and I love how she used the circular element.

September Book Club by Grace.

I’ve seen a lot of book review pages but none like this. This is so fun and creative! I love the template/design and perfect embellishments.

Gulf Fritillary Butterfly by lynns54

Amazing photo and brushwork! The colors on the white background are really stunning!

Memories by AmieN1

What a sweet princess she is! Adorable photo! I love all the messy stamps and scribbles and the placement of that camera element!

That’s all for me today. Have a wonderful weekend and happy scrapping!

A Wonderful Thursday & Some Gorgeous Gallery Finds! đź’š
Good morning, everyone, and happy Thursday to all our wonderful followers!
Are you curious to see which layouts caught my eye today? Which ones made me stop scrolling during my little trip through the galleries? I certainly hope so — because I’ve got six beautiful standouts to share with you. So, grab your coffee and let’s take a look!

World Off by SandyM

This one is an absolute eye-catcher! The artsy background paper beautifully flows into a perfectly placed floral cluster that frames and connects the two photos of the record player and vinyl. Everything works together so naturally, putting the focus exactly where it belongs. A wonderful tribute to a music culture that may be a little forgotten these days, but certainly deserves to be remembered.

Explore by Scrappie Irene

The watercolor-style background immediately drew me in here. It creates such a soft and artistic foundation for the photo strip, while the coordinating clusters in different sizes add just the right amount of dimension and interest. A beautifully balanced layout with a wonderfully harmonious overall design.

September White Space Challenge by doglvr49

This is white space perfection! Clean, minimalist, and beautifully matched to the theme, it proves once again that sometimes less really is more. The photo is framed by a striking geometric shape, perfectly color-coordinated and accented with just a few carefully chosen thematic elements. Nothing is missing — and nothing needs to be added.

Learning is Fun by LisaMT

What a delightful way to capture everyday school life! I especially love how the notebook-inspired background sets the scene right away. The vertical border adds plenty of visual interest, with its layers and perfectly chosen school-themed elements turning this into a real little eye-catcher. Fun, colorful, and full of lovely details!

Why So Sad by Jill

This layout really touched me. It feels like a beautiful little tribute to an old tree, with the perfectly masked photo creating an especially atmospheric focal point. The greenery and green ribbon add a wonderfully elegant accent, while the handwritten-style font gives the journaling a personal and emotional touch. A lovely piece with plenty of heart.

And we’re finishing today with something completely different — and absolutely fabulous! The striking black-and-white photos immediately grab your attention, while the many different layers tucked behind the frame create fantastic depth. I love the combination of pink and soft green against the light background; it adds just enough color without taking anything away from those wonderful photos. Creative, eye-catching, and seriously inspiring!

And that’s my Thursday gallery tour for today!
I hope you enjoyed my picks as much as I enjoyed discovering them. If one of these layouts caught your eye, why not pop into the gallery and leave the artist a little love? A like or a comment can make someone’s day — and these talented scrappers definitely deserve both!

Until next time, happy scrapping and happy gallery browsing!

Finger Pointing- Sept 9, 2026

Well good morning, it’s Tiffany and I am back to share some more gorgeous pages I found in the galleries. Let’s get started!

You are Awesome by Cassie Wiscarson 

I absolutely loved the way the single photo is framed by all those beautiful journal cards and the diagonal tilt of thee cards and photo. The use of the striped pattern paper and the pink mat tie all the beautiful colors into the page without overwhelming the design. Personally, I feel a scraplift coming on. Maybe you do too?

Seize the Day by lot95designs

This page also features the use of journal cards in a wonderful way. I like the way they were used to create a blocking style page with a crisp white background to keep the page looking clean. The scattering of a few additional embellishments gives the perfect finish to this beautiful page.

favourite by Jane In NZ

The overall composition of this page really stood out to me to display those lovely floral photographs. We are heading into fall soon in my state so one more longing look at the spring season – which is now far away on the calendar – put a big warm smile on my face.

First day by angels 

I love the primary colors used for this back to school page. I really like the visual triangle that the photos create for this composition. My littles are all grown and are now sending their own children off to school – not sure how that happened so fast. This page just brings back so many memories of this yearly transition with my own family.

Lollipop! by Jagruti patel

The pattern papers are so well chosen in this page and I love the way the subtle colors of them don’t distract from the photos. This page gives the eye so much white space to rest on while naturally drawing the eye down to the corner to see what it’s all about.

Somewhere in Time by mijo

What a soft and dreamy work of art. The cluster work is amazing on this page. It is amazing that even with so much to look at on this page, the adorable photo of the children still remains the highlight of the page.

Well, that is a wrap for today. Thank you so much for taking time to read GSO today and I hope you will take time to click on the image links above to go and spread some love to these beautiful page artists. Have a scrap-tacular day. -Tiffany
