Finger Pointing – April 7th

— “How to Psycho-Analyze Your Neighbors” by Clement Wood
— “Baths, and How to Take Them” by Miss Harriet N. Austin, M.D.
and my personal favorite…
— “Anybody Can Be Cool…But Awesome Takes Practice” by Lorraine Peterson

This is just a small sampling of the.. um, interesting book titles I found out there in internet-land. Do you title your layouts? One of my favorite digi sites right now has a discussion going on favorite page title ideas and techniques. And while peeking through the galleries today I found some terrifically titled layouts! Here are some of my favs…

Fresh Sunset by norton94

One of the quickest ways to get a great title on your page is with pre-made wordart. This artist stepped it up by layering it on the sweet cloud element. And I love how everything is tucked into the fun pocket! The colors are gorgeous and that starburst is perfect!

Live Love Meow by lady22

So fun centering the simple title under the main photo grouping, and those cute hearts!  I love the way she used the doodled cat paper. The text border is clever and those whimsical cat ellies are the bomb!

April Foundations by lbrtychic

My next gallery stand-out page implements a template to create the fun title. I love how she filled the letters with the different watercolor papers. The fun wordart, the torn papers, and the simple floral stickers add to the softness of the page. So sweet!

Springtime by Yvonne55

I love the technique this artist used to create her unique title. It’s a wonderful focal point! Lowering the opacity of the grey paper gives it a feeling of traditional vellum. Her cute little frog ellies are so fun!

Wonderland by iScrap

The way my next artist placed her cluster to fit the curve of her wordart is a creative idea I’ll definitely be using in the future. The black background paper is so striking and the elements she used in her clusters are top-notch. Stunning!

Collect Moments by alinalove

I couldn’t pass up this last page by one of my favorite scrappers. Her shadows are always so good, the messy elements are perfectly imperfect, and I love the wonky frame she chose. But the way she added her title to the rainbow is the awesome stand-out feature I was looking for!

Stop by the galleries today and spread some goodness around — to these ladies and all your favorite artists! And remember: anybody can be cool… but awesome takes practice!
