Finger Pointing – March 11th

Hi everyone!  Happy March 11th!  It’s Deborrah writing today with some beautiful layouts from around the web.  I am always amazed at the sheer volume of talent that is out there.  So much inspiration!  I hope that some of these layouts inspire you to create your own.  Let’s see what I picked!

Raileigh at Folly Beach- August 2011 by GlazeFamily3

I fell in love with this gorgeous layout the moment I saw it!  I love, love, love her blue sunburst!!  The words she put on selected rays are just wonderful, and I adore how she matched the color to the little girl’s swim suit.  Her background paper is so beachy – I love it.  Just a wonderful layout!

Springtime by cherrygutz

This most appropriately-named layout is another one that caught my eye immediately.  I love the colors, her rainbow and all of the fabulous Springtime elements.  Her photo is just another element in this page that has me relishing in color and the warmth of Springtime.  I especially love the cluster of flowers she used BEHIND the front wheel of the bicycle.  Just beautiful!

Journaling Cards by Stacey Jewell Stahl

So, at first glance, I thought this was just an interesting pocket page, and then I realized that the entire page was overlapping journaling cards.  I.  LOVE.  THIS.  IDEA.  And I love how beautifully she put these cards together!  The black and white photo in the middle is the perfect compliment to all of the gorgeous cards describing her passion.  Just a wonderful layout!!

13 – Starbucks by bienejen

This layout is a wonderful tribute to something I love – COFFEE!!!  I mean, it really is love in a cup!  I’ve seen this template being used around the galleries and I think it’s just brilliant, but I love what bienejen did with it.  The cute photos of enjoying Starbucks, the flowers and other elements tucked under the layers.  All of it comes together to be a fabulous tribute to coffee.  Well done!

coffee and plants by kathie02

And, speaking of coffee, this layout speaks to my other passion – succulents.  I couldn’t agree more – life IS short; buy the plants!!  But what is special about this layout is how she used that fabulous color scheme on the side to tie everything together.  Beautiful blending, and gorgeous element choices.  Brava!

There Are Always Flowers by jana

And finally, a layout that should be printed and hung as artwork.  What a beautiful creation this is!  The colors, her blending and partial framing, and of course, the beautiful florals on the edges.  Everything about this layout speaks of joy, hope and beauty.  It made me smile when I saw it.  Just gorgeous!

That’s it for tonight.  I hope you are inspired by my picks.  Happy scrapping!
