Hi everyone – DivaMom96 a/k/a/ Deborrah here with today’s gallery standouts.  Wooooow – it’s almost February!  Where did January go?  It seems everyone is creating like mad at the end of the month, and that means the galleries are stuffed to bursting with gorgeous layouts.  Let’s take a look at a sampling!

The Fairy Forest by A-M

The lush gorgeousness of this layout cannot be overstated!  I love the expert shadowing on her layers, and the path leading into the background.  Her selection of papers for her layers is just beautiful!  Each one is full of lush greenery, yet blends so beautifully with the other layers.  And look at her adorable fairies, bushes and mushrooms peeking out from between the layers!!  Beautiful creation!!!!

Simple by LorieM

I love the soft simplicity of this layout.  The photo says everything, and I love her simple elements floating from the photo and down across the title.  The shadowing on her elements is interesting – everything floats on the page giving it an ethereal feel; and it really works here.  Beautiful shadow work on the title, too – I love the paper choice for the title.  Lovely!

MOC-2021-Day-28 by silent ranks

This layout immediately caught my eye! I love black and white and this is just fabulously done.  I love the rays of white emanating from the photo, and all of the paint and hearts.  Her arrow work is really nice, as is the paint under and on top of the photo (nice circle).  Everything is done so tastefully, including her paper choices for the rays.  Beautiful job!

MOC9 Day 28 Paper & Paint by SeattleSheri

WOW!  That was my reaction to this gorgeous layout by our own SeattleSheri.  I am in awe of people who can mix and match papers so beautifully!  Each strip works so well with the next, I don’t know how she did it!  Her paint splatters behind the main heart are a great touch, as is the beautiful title.  But that photo is simply precious! I love her photo treatment – a little sepia filter really tied it in with the overall tone of the colors.  Gorgeous!

Stay Weird by HeatherH

I love the title of this layout!  As a mother of two boys, I can totally relate to this! Leave two boys together for a few minutes, and you never know what you’ll find when you get back!  Her paper choices for her letters are just wonderful!  So fun and whimsical, perfect for this layout.  Look at that little yellow dude on the W – he’s adorble!!  Beautiful paint work on the background paper, too.  Fabulous!

Life is Sweet by Tinci

My last choice is just precious! I fell in love with this one from the colors and the total deliciousness of the photo and elements.  Look at all the gorgeous clustering!  I love her candy choices, papers and elements, but really it’s her beautiful cluster work which makes this layout pop!  I even recognize the candy store from Universal!  Brings back memories and makes me feel like I’m a part of the layout.  I love it!

That’s it for today!  Happy scrapping!
