Finger Pointing – July 29th

Good evening all. I hope everyone has had a great Monday. I have to admit to liking Mondays much more since I retired. Generally, they are one of my quieter days in the week, although not today as we saw our daughter and her family off after a great visit then I got caught up on all the little chores that I’ve been letting slide. This evening I finally had time to check out the galleries and found lots of inspiration.

Italy by Ferdy is an awesome travel page. First I love the mix of word art and red, white and green elements that echo the colours of the Italian flag, and then I love how the artist has layered and embellished the cut out title letters to create a very eye catching title.

The Perfect Escape by Ursula has such a wonderful beachy vibe! I love the dolphin frame anchoring the main photo which lifts off the page and all those fabulous scattered shell accents.

Next Stop by Zwyck really caught my eye with the striking black and white sketchy treatment of the multiple photos. A few red accents perfectly placed complete this artful page.

Love this by Myssp has a lovely variety of shapes layered in a great vertical design. The sweet photo really stands out in the circular frame and is accented by stitching, lacy and feminine accents.

Memorial Day by BJC has a delightful mix of photos with a crisp red/white/blue colour scheme. A banner border and scatter of stars underlying a fun choice of word art combine to create a beautifully designed page. I also love how she’s used multiple different kits to create such a cohesive page.

Unshakeable by Paper Wings is my final pick of the day. An outstanding art journal page which combines a blended vintage photo with a powerful message and layers of painted collaged elements.

That’s all from me this evening. I hope you enjoyed my choices for today and can take some time to leave a little love in the galleries for these wonderful artists.
