Hello, lovely scrappers.  Cheryl here to bring you today’s Finger Pointing picks.  Can you even believe we’re in the middle of January of 2024?  Time goes by so quickly but as scrappers, we’re blessed to be able to capture many, many moments in time, aren’t we?  What a wonderful legacy we can leave to our loved ones as well as enjoying the moments ourselves.  I know you’re like me and also enjoy those moments over and over in the pages we create.  Speaking of creating, I know you all want to see the picks I have for you today.

Sweetest Little Cook by EvelynD is my first pick for today.  How bright, cheerful and colorful is this layout?  I was so taken by the red and white checkered paper, the banner, of pictures and all of the cute, artsy bits surrounding the big picture of the “little cook”.

My next pick is Finish The Sentence by Kim.  These candid shots are just priceless.  Candids are probably my favorite shots, and it’s amazing how many pictures are on this wonderful page.  What great memories are captured on this layout, and this will definitely be cherished for years to come.

Next up is Sunflowers by Aussiegirl.  Who doesn’t need some sunflowers right now, especially if you’re living in a frigid zone?  The photographs are beautiful and so are all of the sunflower elements and the coordinating strips of paper.

Next up is Limitless by scrappy donna.  I just love this sweet black and white photograph, surrounded by the perfect elements. The background paper, word art and artsy bits make this layout a winner!

Next is Winter Wonders by sterkeurs.  Oh, that gorgeous sunset, the ski lift that’s silhouetted, and the small photograph in the foreground – wow!  The title, word art and simple elements tie this page into the perfect package!

My last pick for today is Engaged by moenmc.  What a special moment is captured here and what a beautiful setting.  I love how the pictures are placed inside the circle and the flower elements set everything off so perfectly.

That will do it for me, and I hope you’ve enjoyed my picks the today.  If you’d like to see more, click on the title of each page and you’ll be taken directly to that page.

Keep on scrapping and capturing those memories.

Hello wonderful scrappers!  Cheryl here to bring you my picks from around Digi Land today.   Christmas and winter layouts abound and I had a difficult time picking my favorites because there were so many of them.  I finally was successful in pruning my list down to six layouts and here they are.

First up is Finish The Sentence Challenge by Bright Eyes

What a heartwarming page this is.  The beautiful home in the background surrounded by snow laden trees and the brightly dressed children playing in front – delightful!  The girl standing on the steps is the perfect touch and adds so much dimension to the page.   The wonderful blending and darker border really tie everything together and puts a bow on this present!

Drop Biscuits by cnewby makes my mouth water, as well as being a feast for the eyes.  What a festive cookbook effect with all of the clippings tucked under the page; which is exactly what I do in a cooking journal.  The picture of the drop biscuits is perfection and so are all of the brightly colored elements scattered all around the page.  I love the sweet little strand of lights, too.

Wonderful by crazycat1126 has the perfect title – it is “wonderful”.   Short for “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”. I’m in love with the picture of the tree, along with the amazing bokeh!  The smaller picture is gorgeous, with the reflection of the room in it!  The rest of the page adds layers of delight, from the dark background to the sweet journal cards and Christmas elements.

Winter by Scrappie Irene is my next pick.  This caught my eye right away, with the sweet baby holding it’s own picture.  What a clever and unique page.  The greenery surrounding the picture, the plaid bow and the perfect collection of small elements make this page a winner for me.

Santa is Coming by little pixie is my next pick.  I think this page is absolutely magical.  The Christmas, snow scene that’s depicted on this page is beauty in itself.  It’s reminiscent of quieter, gentler times when people bundled up and took the sleigh “over the river and through the woods”.  What put the cherry on top for me is the large snow globe effect!  Just wonderful!

Last but certainly not least is  Little Things by bbe.  Is there anything much cuter than kids wearing Santa hats?  These pictures are priceless, and I can’t keep from smiling when I look at all of the expressions on this little face.  The two black and white pictures are a nice touch, too.  LOVE the torn paper behind the pictures and the dark background.  It’s the little things in life we cherish most, as the title reads.

That will do it for me today.  I won’t see you again until next year.  We’re going to take a little break so we can finish up our Christmas shopping, cooking, baking or just hanging with our families.  I’ll see you again after the holidays.  Wishing you and yours a blessed and peaceful Christmas.

Hello lovely scrappers!  Cheryl here to bring you today’s picks, on this sixteenth day of November.  This year is just streaming along, isn’t it?  I can hardly believe that we’re in the middle of November.  I had a fine time visiting the different galleries and I hope you enjoy the picks that I have for you today.  Let’s get started, shall we?

My first pick for today is Sarapullka’s Thoughts by Su_sanne.  I just adore this black and white ATC (Artist’s Trading Card) and the big white flower really takes center stage for the artsy bits and the title.  Very beautiful and a great start to my post for today!

My next pick is November Music Challenge  by Jody.  Not only is this one of my favorite songs, it’s scrapped so beautifully!  I just love the “grunge” look, with the man in the background and the words in the foreground. The big plaid bow is such a nice added touch, too.

Next is Can You See Me? by one of our own bloggers, Pachimac (Susie).  I love the picture in the sunglasses and the word strips attached to it.  This page has so much meaning and the words “hide” are perfectly placed.  The blending, clustering and artsy bits all combine, with the pictures, to make this the perfect page.

Next is Above by Stefanie.  The old saying “less is more” definitely applies to this beautiful page.  The big photo scene is perfectly paired with the clustering of elements and word art up at the top of the page.  This page just works in every way for me.

Next is Cold and Frosty by Ranchcreations.  What wonderful photos and I love the way they’re arranged on the page.  The background, with the snowflakes, the wintery elements and the frosty border all make this such a wonderful winter page.

My last pick for today is All My Dogs and Cats by Yam.  I fell in love with this page the minute I saw it.  What a great idea to scrap so many pets on one page.  I love the individual pictures and the big green border really sets this page off.   What a great finish to my post for today.

That will be it for me today.  I sure enjoyed visiting the different galleries.  If you get a chance, you can leave some love for these artists.  Just click on the name of each project, to go to their gallery post.

Til next time,

Cheryl
