I don’t even want to share how long I spend trying to decide if this layout was digital or paper. lol. The artist did such a great job on the shadowing & lighting effects that I honestly can’t tell! I love the white space, the fun embellishments & the stack of layers front & center!

That’s all for tonight folks! Have a great weekend & please leave some love in the galleries for not just these artists- but all the other amazing talent we have around this digiworld!

Hello digiland! I’ve started a new work from home part-time gig that is taking up WAY more time than I anticipated! I almost forgot I’m today’s blogger! Browsing galleries this afternoon was such a nice break from reading dental insurance benefit breakdowns! lol! A few that caught my eye today are:

August2020_ElifSahin_challenge-copy by flowersgal

I’m always a sucker for a doggy layout! This one is well deserved for finger pointing! The color scheme, the fun journaling & the simple design are perfect. However- I just LOVE how the artist had a couple of the photos with the ‘out of bounds’ extracted pup! So much fun & visual interest!

I just love how the artist used a Christmas kit/color scheme for this fun summertime adventure layout! The title work is fabulous with all those patterned papers! The photo of the boys cracked me up- totally captured youth in the mountains!

---

Pier Drone Shot by Janytime

This is probably one of the coolest perspective photos I’ve ever seen! I love how the artist used the subtle gradient paper to match the gorgeous water/sand. She perfectly used white space with simple journaling & the one starfish embellishment. Gorgeous!

---

tbe by marnel

Last but definitely not least- The Big E by marnel is SO cool. I seriously spent some time dissecting this layout trying to discern if it was digital or paper! Her shadows and lighting effects are spot on & the painty, messy goodness just makes it seem like her personal art journal. I LOVE the photo strips and the cascading tickets!

Dog vs Grandpa by TraceyM

I love when designers scrap with their own creations! Tracey’s layout is fabulous! Perfect themed elements, fun clusters & beautiful composition! I LOVE the heritage photo (complete with vintage color/filter?) & story! Doggies come & go in our lives, and it’s fun to see a vintage layout featuring a beloved family pet!

---

I guess I’m a sucker for dog layouts these days! Maybe because we got a pandemic puppy? Maybe I’m all obsessed with my own 2 doggies? Or maybe because doggies are such a good distraction during this crazy pandemic? Who knows. Regardless, please give these layouts some love in the galleries today! Have a great week!

Hello hello! I didn’t even realize that I was totally picking outdoors/vacation layouts until I was about half through my picks! Hilarious! I’m thinking that means that I desperately need a vacation. Most of our summer plans have been canceled- but the hubby & I were talking about taking a road trip somewhere sorta close to home just to do SOMETHING this summer. Fingers crossed we’re able to get out of town for a few! Any of these destinations featured would work for me! 😉 😉

---

Pandemic Wanderlust by isDK

Oh my gosh there are SO many things I love about this layout. First of all- the one giant photo broken into individual frames & spread across a double layout is just SO cool! The stitching & the super fun bead title is perfect. I’m seriously suffering from Pandemic Wanderlust & this layout might get me through a bit more!

---

Our Little World by janedee

These gorgeous photos jumped out at me first in the gallery. The fog on the water & through the trees is so beautiful! Add in those adorable little birdie pics & this layout is perfect! I love the circular bird frame & the simple embellishments. I totally agree with the author- what a peaceful, relaxing place!

---

Dusky Beauty by msbrad

I just love how well the photo matches the digital supplies the artist used! The blues & oranges are just beautiful! I also liked how the photo is cut assymetrically & the floral clusters draw your eye around the page. The painty, glittery border perfectly frames this gorgeous layout!

---

Mabry Mill by nun65

I seriously thought this photo was a painting at first. How gorgeous is that old mill? I love the journaling of the history. I’m a total sucker for wood backgrounds as well as all the fun floral clusters! I also really like the journal card quote & the mixed alpha title.

---

San Diego Beach by BrightEyes

It’s official- I need a beach vacation on my calendar! The adorable large beach photo is what stood out in the gallery with this layout. I love how the artist blended/framed it to the background paper. The perfectly shadowed themed elements & the smaller framed photos perfectly round out this fun beach layout!

---

Adventures by tiffany scraps

I love Tiffany’s composition on this fun layout. The blocking of the photos & large journal card are so interesting to the eye! Her simple, perfect choice for embellishments as well as that great tree background paper make this layout pop out from the gallery! I too need to find some beautiful places to go…

---

Now it looks like I need to go camping, schedule a beach vacation as well as some mountain hiking! Thankfully all of those things aren’t too far from home here in the PNW. Hopefully we get to ‘get lost’ this Summer!

Hello digiscrappers! Happy Memorial Day! Ours was a bit different this year due to the pandemic. A little quieter than usual (no guests this year) but Memorial Day is always the first hurrah of Summer at the lake house! We had a great weekend with just the inlaws & managed to do a lot of cleanup of the property & the beach. Of course, we always honor the original meaning of Memorial Day as well- remembering those who gave all for us.

---

Memorial Day by Miki

What a better way to start my gallery picks today than with this beauty!? I love the non-traditional flag & all the stars all blended. The title is super fun with the varying fonts. I LOVE the saluting silhouette & the quotes/scribbles.

---

New Skillz by ClaireG

Girl’s got skillz for sure! I tried cutting my husband & son’s hair (thankfully just a buzz cut) and it is NOT as easy as it looks! The super cute selfies, the fun paint & scatters as well as the fab journaling make this layout a standout! You go girl!

---

Boating on the Lake by jaye

Having just spent a few days at the lake, this layout jumped out at me from the gallery. I LOVE that background paper (photo?) blended into the wood grain! I love the circular photo- almost like you were looking out a porthole window! The wave stitches & the nautical bits & pieces tie everything together perfectly!

---

MAY CL STYLE by nhudao

How adorable is that baby! I lvoe the photostrip frame & the simple perfect embellishments. I love the polka dot background paper & the pops of green & blue. The white space & spot on shadowing make this a standout!

---

Typography Challenge by Ursula

I’ve studied this layout for longer than I should admit & still cannot tell if this is just the most beautiful photograph or a painting? Whatever photo treatments the artist used are just amazing. The lighting on their faces, yet not being able to see them is SO interesting. I also LOVE how everything is blended and the inky frame around the layout. She also chose the perfect color of embellishments as well as the great use of the alpha in the title.

---

Memorial Day by cfile

And the perfect layout to end my pics- Memorial Day by cfile. The photos of the flags at the tombstones just gives me the feels. I love the framed photo with the blended photo into the paper. I love the simple embellishments & the non-traditional (read: not red/white/blue) color scheme. The journaling is perfect- those grave markers are her family- makes me even more proud & thankful for their service.

---

While different than ‘normal’- I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day & thank you to all our service members who have sacrificed for our great country. Today is a great day to reflect & chose how we as a country want to come out of these dark days- I say we band together to support each other & come out stronger & healthy! Be kind, have grace.
