Finger Pointing – August 4th

Hello, Jane here today on a hot sunny Sunday afternoon of a long weekend. I hope you’re enjoying your day wherever you are as much as I am.

First up today is 10 Favorite Things by Lauabobaura. I love snapshot in time layouts and this one is awesome. I adore that incredibly cute large photo which has been masked to mimic the soap bubbles and the colourful list of favorites with a fun subtitle.

Swimming by apottinger is another bright and colourful summer page. I love the colour blocking and fun action photos. The seahorse and button accents make a great addition and draw your eye down to the clean and crisp title.

My next pick is My Loves by Hondachic. What a delightful large photo of the two little girls playing on a swing. The photo has been blended into the background and accented by a tiny cluster and a stitched scalloped border along the lower edge. Just lovely!

I burst out laughing when I first saw this next page – Puffer Face by Justagirl. Those photos are just so cute and accented perfectly by the cluster with the little puffer fish accent. The paint splatters, lacy element, great layering and shadowing of the background papers all really add texture to the fabulous page.

I love walking the beach looking for shells and driftwood so Beachcombing by Oldenmeade really caught my eye. It features a lovely cluster set at a point of convergence with the waves and the angles on the mask. The photo is very subtly blended into the background creating a very soft and delicate look.

Crazy Makers by Heather H is my final pick of the day. A fantastic art journal page using an eclectic mix of fonts to create the title and a list of five things guaranteed to drive us a bit crazy along with their solutions in a fun mix of type and word art strips. Sketchy and doodled elements complete the design – such a creative page!

That’s all from me today. I hope you’ve enjoyed my picks. If you get a chance, please pop by the artist’s gallery to leave a little love.
