Finger Pointing – April 6th

Hi everyone – Carmel here!! It’s a beautiful mild Saturday afternoon here –  after a very hot summer we are heading into autumn in Australia. I’ve loved having the chance to spend some time in the galleries this afternoon where I am seeing Spring pop up everywhere! Hope you enjoy my choices for today!!

To start off our spring fling – this from jesskab Springtime Splendor – I love the use of the patterned paper for the background – something I have a bit of trouble with, but it is so effective when done right.  The minimal use of elements really set off the cute pic so well. Delightful!

Next simply titled Spring – this layout from JillW is so pretty. Such a great photo of the butterfly and I love the background with the blended paint and sparkles. The layout of the page taking your eye from left to right with the clusters is so appealing.

Another spring themed layout that stood out in the gallery – Blossom by Joansmor – simply stunning. The masking and blending of the photo gives a great effect especially when highlighted so simply with the stitching and wordart. Another great page.

This is my next pic – a stunner from greenfiend27 – another great spring layout. The cute extraction has been perfectly blended with all those gorgeous flower clusters and the shadowing gives a great 3d effect!

Finally I just loved this from Oldenmeade – The Road Home. I love the photo escaping from the frame, the great background with the paint and text and the perfectly layered and shadowed cluster.  Just fascinating.

My final pic which looks deceptively simple is never too old by sylvias scrapart. I love the sentiment of the wordart and the blended stamps and transfers used to make the background. Again just a few elements with the black and white framed photo make for a stunning page.

Well – that’s it from me for today! Hope you enjoyed my choices and you’ll take some time to leave a little love for these amazing artists!

Until next time – “Happy Scrapping”
