Finger Pointing – September 8th

Welcome to another installment of Gallery Standouts! I hope you enjoy these creative and well-crafted layouts.

sweet cheeks by 3littleKs
Brenda is one of my favorite white space scrappers. Her pages always have such excellent composition and balance. This gorgeous layout is no exception! I particularly love how that eclectic mix of patterned papers pulls your eye towards to the photo and complements it so well.

play-doh fun by Tronesia
This is another scrapper whose pages I could admire endlessly. Tronesia always has such beautiful storytelling happening on her pages. Take a look at how the gorgeous photos and element work lead you through the play-doh experience. Simply wonderful!

Fun at the Fair by JALong
I love the freestyle feeling to this layout. The playful mix of photo treatments, exuberant paint and scribbles as well as fun elements are perfect for the fair theme. Well done!

Summer Morning by flohblock
I like the tight composition and limited color palette on this page, as it really gives an extra focus and pop to the photo itself. The repetition of rectangles and pennants is also very visually unifying. So pretty!

Junior Year by pixleyyy
I have a teenager myself and it’s just not as easy to scrap them as it is younger kids, however, this layout proves it can be done fabulously!  The modern colors and touches of trendy chalkboard make it a very current look. Note how those chalkboard pieces also put the photo inside the visual triangle so effectively. I also love the inclusion of the schedule, as that’s a great detail to preserve. Awesome layout!

August 2013 by Ink and Pixels
I think it’s fair to say that smart phones have changed the face of both photography and scrapbooking. Sometimes, it can be a very good thing to have that camera handy all of the time, but at the end of month, you might be wondering how to incorporate all of those random shots into your memory keeping. This page offers a brilliant solution! With the insta-weather overlays already on them, the photos are a cool chronology of the month. Love this!

I hope you were inspired by tonight’s selections. Be sure to leave some gallery love for these talented scrappers!!
