Finger Pointing – August 4th

Happy Friday, everyone!! Hope it’s a beautiful one wherever you are in the world. We are having near perfect temperatures which is odd because this is usually the hottest time of the year. I’m not complaining, though. It’s been a wonderful day to sit with my windows open and take a stroll through the galleries! There are some amazing layouts out there! It is always so tough to narrow it down!

My first pick for tonight is Go See Do by cinderella. This one jumped out at me right away because of the wonderfully creative way the title is cut out to reveal the photo. That is just super cool. I love the perfect travel elements and the quote is perfect! The lined paper makes the perfect background. Beautiful shadow work as well.

Next up is Beach Bums by xoboxmom. I adore that big photo and the big wave paper over top of it. Super creative and perfect for those photos. The smaller photos are fantastic as well and the clusters on each one are awesome. I especially love the top left cluster with the netting! Beautifully done!

My next pick is from one of my favorite scrappers, cape san blas by gracielou! I love soft colors and that gorgeous photo. the paper pieces feel so much like waves at the shore. This page has such a relaxing peaceful feel to it and the added word arts are absolutely perfect! Just a lovely, lovely page!

I am a huge fan of lots of beautiful white space and Spelling Together by MelanieB is such a perfect example! The patterns are just beautiful and each element and word art is perfectly placed. The black and white photo is  lovely. I would love to be able to do white space layouts so beautifully. Simple perfection!

Rule the School by scrappy_donna caught my eye immediately! All those amazing layers that are just perfectly shadowed – wow! I love her use of the paints and stamps on the neutral background. The colors are fantastic and the title placement is awesome. That photo is absolutely adorable and the bits of flair work so well!! Love every detail of this one!!

I think I have mentioned before that I am also always on the look out for great guy pages since I have so many guys in my family. Yard Yahzee Challenge by NancyP is a wonderful example of a guy page done just right. That photo is so cool and the wire is just perfection. The grungy background and big awesome title makes this one fabulous page!! I may seriously need to scraplift this one!

And that wraps it up for me today! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. Take a moment to leave some love for these amazing artists and any others that stand out to you!! Until next time!
