Finger Pointing – August 27th

Happy Saturday to you all!

Hope you are having a great weekend so far. I am sewing, watching F1 qualifiers, and having a lovely quiet me focused weekend!

Ferdy – Memories

I loved the bright colours of this layout, even the gorgeous cluster is a riot of colour! I LOL when I read the story in the comments, that Ferdy’s partner leaves his hand up too long when they are taking selfies using the hand motion function. It made for a hilarious photo, where Ferdy is totally obscured by said hand! All the little details make this layout for me, the googly eyes, the laughing emojis, and the word art that perfectly describes what is going on.

Jenn7 – Giving

I loved the journaling here. I believe in giving back too and I have a lot of respect for Jenn teaching her children this sentiment at an early age. The two clusters are stunning. The larger one to the right, is wonderful, so full with perfect shadow work and I love the addition of the doily, giving it an anchor.

Bonnenuit – Lucky Us

Another layout that showcases the journaling. I love how elegant this feels with the limited colour palette (even continued with the text colour) really working to tie everything together. The mix of paint, brushes, and elements is perfectly done. And I love the darker scripty brush that adds a little bit of extra interest.

Marleen – Waiting For

This just blew my mind!! I love the way the paint, papers, elements, and blending have been used here. The newspaper blended to create her skin is just fabulous, really well done and super creative. The painty flower border that makes up the top of her shirt is so clever. A really wonderful art journal piece.

Veer – Proud

Another elegant layout that makes the journaling the focal point. I am a fan of framing your journaling, it really makes it stand out. The cluster is gorgeous, I especially love the way that it sprays out, making it feel larger than it is.

Amien1 – This is the life

I love the epic amount of white space here. Because of all that lovely white space, the happy photo becomes the focal point. The pattern mixing and perfect shadows are making me very happy. I really love the use of the tags at the top of the photo. The stacked background papers, just peeking out, add another piece of interest and help anchor the date tab and panda element perfectly.

That’s all for me this month, I will be back mid-Sept as I am going on vacation. I hope you enjoyed my picks today and will go and show these talented scrappers some love.
