Happy Friday, friends! Heidi Nicole here, coming to you from hot and steamy Kentucky… Hope this finds all of you well! The galleries are full of creativity and inspiration, and here are my picks for today…
This lovely, nostalgic piece makes me feel all the feels! Dads are so special to us, and this is a beautiful memory to be treasured forever. Beyond the feel of the layout, the technique is spot on. The clustering, layering, and shadowing are beyond reproach. The large title and the recurring circles balance the design, and it all comes together seamlessly. Absolutely lovely!
I have to admit, the sweet photo that is front and center drew me in immediately. The addition of the same photo peeking out on either side just adds to the magic. The bold background was a genius choice, and that title! I love how the title balances the little word strips in opposite corners. Every layer looks like it was placed specifically, and the shadows are absolutely lovely. Each detail is *heart eyes* <3 The entire page makes me swoon!
Do you ever wonder how to use a dark, bold background? Well, this is how… and it is absolutely magical! I am in total love with this! It immediately made me smile… I mean, look at that photo! What a cutie! I LOVE that all the elements and goodies are across the top. The bright colors in contrast to the chalkboard smiley background is so spot on. The perfect touch is that grungey colorful paint. I can’t say enough about this… I just love it all!
I am loving the tropical, summer vibes here… The shadowed ripped papers add dimension and realism to the layout. The design of the page is so pleasing to the eye… and what a lovely photo! The title, using two different fonts/alphas, really brings the page together. The elements, in the proverbial triangle, are beautifully placed and clustered. I’m all about the bikini life!
This is wowza! What an incredible technique on that photo… it looks like a vintage magazine to me! I appreciate the art journaling vibes, yet the dimensional shadows on the paper scraps, word strips, and butterfly add depth and realism. All in all, such an inspiration to all of us!
This page evokes such calm feelings… and warm and fuzzies because of those sweet photos! I adore all the vertical paper strips and arrows behind the photos, it adds so much interest to a solid(ish) background. The minimal use of elements are perfectly placed and shadowed. The spray paint and messy thread add a bit of grungey goodness to the piece. It all comes together with that amazing title! Love it!
That’s all for today, friends! Don’t forget to click on the links to the pages and leave them some love <3 Have a wonderful Father’s Day weekend, all!
Blessings,
Heidi Nicole
