Gallery Standouts

Hi all, and happy first day of December! Are we ready for all the festivities of the holiday season? I am not! I guess I better start thinking about it anyway. The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas in a school is a little chaotic, but fortunately I was able to come home on time today and take a little bit to browse the galleries. I hope you enjoy the fabulous layouts I chose to share this evening!

And that will do it for me today! I hope you enjoyed my picks and will take some time to leave a little love for these amazing artists! Until next time, see you around the galleries!!

Good evening everyone, Kari here. Wow! Can you believe it is the last day in November already? Where has this month gone? Winter has decided to show its face here in Wisconsin we have seen some snow the last few days, and oh golly gosh the cold that has come with it! Today’s high was a whole 22 degrees! (brrrrr!!) talk about brutal! Perfect hot chocolate and snuggle weather!  Has made me consider buying the kids new gloves and hats as gifts for the Holidays. How is the weather around where you are? has the brutal cold hit you yet? have you seen snow flurries?

My first selection of the night has a wintery vibe. I found this beauty over at the Lilypad.

oh so quiet winter by LoveItScrapIt

I love her little cluster with the photo of her all bundled up nice and snug and warm! and than the pretty tree cluster on the bottom! And how she did the title on a tilt to line up with the lines of the background! perfectly brilliant!

My second beauty of the night I found over at Pickle Berry Pop. I went again with the wintery theme!

Comfort-Warmth by Renée

I love how she used the photo mask to include the photo of the sweetest little girl! and the scatter of snowflakes all around on the pretty background of greens and blues! With the cluster it just makes for the perfect page!

For my next selection I made my way over to the Sweet Shoppe where I found this amazing stunner!

Christmas Time by mrsashbaugh

OMG the cluster work on this is breathtaking! and I love all the photos she used! and the different shades of blue with whites and ivorys just pop! Such a stunner of a page! Amazing work!

My last and final entry of the night comes from Oscraps. Again I followed with the winter theme and found this fun layout showing off some snowy fun!

Snowboards by *sylvia*

I been a long time admirer of Sylvia’s work! I adore her out of bounds work here on the photo! and how she repeated the snowboarder in color and than again in black and white! Really draws a punch! And how the snowy ground seems to go across the page! simply fantastic work!

Thank you all for joining me tonight! I hope you all stay warm! See you all in Dec! Take care!

Kari

Hello all, I hope your week has started off well. It’s a little chilly my side of the world and I was struggling to get warm tonight but as you may have guessed, a stroll through the galleries has warmed my heart. Here’s a handful of eye candy for you!

I love the watercolour look of NBK_IMAGINE_AB_LO1 by Ann060606. It’s such a pretty page with dreamy blending, brushwork and delicate tones. And what’s not to love about a bag full of blooms and grasses?! Just gorgeous!

This Year by biancka is so eye-catching with its plentiful layers. The subdued backdrop and cluster of black and white images allow the great mix of elements to pop, adding great contrast and depth. A really unusual ‘year in review’ page… I absolutely love it!

PBP_November-Mystery-Box by LidiaG is a page with terrific vertical design with subtle change of colour horizontally. Such a pretty floral cluster to the left and I love the use of the multiple frames over the photo! So creative!

A big photo and big word art always make for a striking page and You Are My Everything by bbe is a fine example. Love the blended backdrop and sweet photo… this page needs nothing more and is so magazine worthy!

I love the message provided by the paper strips on Dream Big by EvelynD2 and the pink/blue/brown colour palette works so well with the sweet trio of images. Great brushwork, blending and framing bring this page together perfectly. Wonderful!

Lucky Girl by Meibritt is a page full of energy and life and colour! Love the repetitive word art that’s broken up by the chunks of patterned paper, embellishments and title work, and how the ribbon twist draws the eye to the photo which is in complete contrast to the word art, apart from the title work. A delightful, carefree page!

I hope you’ve enjoyed the artwork I’ve brought to you today. You know what you need to do… click on the links and leave a comment or two! Till next time, take care and happy scrapping!

Happy Sunday! In honor of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I’m featuring a double edition of GSO since the gallery is so fully goodies!

DD by marnel
What an absolutely amazing December Daily page! Oh my gosh, I am in love with all her amazing layers! The greenery and florals are beautiful and so perfectly tucked in to the pockets. I really adore the different stars and fun little element touches! Gorgeous page!

Morning Chores by bred1269
These photos are just the sweetest! What an adorable little helper!! Her layers are just amazing! I love the greenery, lace and paper pieces. The pops of pink tie in with the photo so perfectly!! The string is such a wonderful touch! So very pretty!

 

Play in the Snow by faerywings
This page is just an absolute stunner! First of all, the photo is the sweetest, and her cluster work is so amazing! I am madly in love with the bits of white with the pops of blue and red. The misting along the edges is so lovely as well! Just perfectly scrapped!

 

And that will do it for me today! I hope you enjoyed my picks and will take some time to leave a little love for these amazing artists!! Until next time, see you around the galleries!

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate this day.  I just wanted to pop into everyone’s inbox and let you all know that I’m thankful for each and everyone of you, for all the fabulous designers and all the amazing forums that allow us to connect, share, inspire and become better people not only in our art but in our everyday life.  This community we have is truly amazing, just know, you are appreciated!!

While this month has been a tad crazy for me, I’m hoping to sit down and do a little scrapping right after I share some inspiration with you!

Warm Time by nibylandia-11

This color palette is gorgeous and does remind me of a chilly day with a hot cup of tea.  I love the layering and all the blending and the clustering is superb!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas Card #3 by MaggieMae

How gorgeous is this?  I love the use of the paints and the layering with the ephemera!  I feel like  this should be an actual card vs a digital card.  I love the use of the bow layered in the middle.

Meeting Santa by MommaTrish

I love the staggered/stair stepped diagonal flow.  The layering is gorgeous!!  This color palette is equally as gorgeous!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rjefferies-shinebright-blog by SharonB

This is a gorgeous artsy Christmas layout.  I love the kraft paper look with the white.  The word art/title is the perfect complement to this layout!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and wrapping up tonight, I have YourOwnMadness by our very own armygrl (Lisa)

I love the predominant black and white design with that pop of red.  Stunning composition with some vintage/retro vibes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my picks for tonight.  Enjoy time with your family and fiends and have fun with some Black Friday Shopping!!!

 

Until next time,

Oh my fur and whiskers!  I’m late… Actually, I am pretty late with getting this posting done this evening.  Ha!  I am feeling like the White Rabbit.  So what an awesome pick to begin tonight’s GSO post.

Don’t Be Late by Fiddlette Designs

I love a good Art Journal page, or page that is pure art.  I also love Alice in Wonderland themes and art.  Designer Fiddlette nails it across all fronts! This layout is whimsical and fun and channels my inner Alice.

Rj-lg-hmv2-hurting by Veronique PINCEMIN

I found this image to be full of emotion – the downtrodden face, the tears on the vest.  Beautifully melancholy.  The placement of the stitches are fantastic (I almost did not recognize them as stitched elements) and the shadows are superb.

June by Lynnette

Although it is not winter yet, with temps in the 20s (F) and snow, it sure feels like winter.  Thus, I was pleasantly surprised and felt a smidgen of warmth when I saw Lynnette’s layout June in the galleries.  The summer vibes with the hiking trail and beach scene brought a smile to my face.

Instalove by Kiana

I think the photos with the black and white stripped backgrounds are super cute…as is the layout!  Kiana rocks the shadows and I adore her choice of elements – the big flowers and the camera especially.

Pajamas All Day Zippyoh

What’s not to love here? The girl illustration is adorable, the clustering amazing, and that cup of coffee looks delicious!  And YES to pajamas all day!

Art is Life by Sylvia

For me, art is a significant part of life!  And this beauty pulled me right in.  The arty pieces on the white background POP!  I love the color palette and the styling.  And, I am incredibly inspired by the workmanship here.

Oh no, I think I hear the Red Queen, “Off with his head!.”  It is time for me to go!

Until next time – Have a wonderful and Thankful week!
