Hello everyone, Margje here on this grey Sunday, with six gorgeous pages I stumbled upon 🙂 in the galleries this evening! How is your day going? Here in the Netherlands it’s cold but it’s getting better the coming days I heard! I wish it was spring already. Longing for some warmth and sunshine! The galleries are filled with all sorts of pages. Let’s see what I found for you!

On the streets of Bangkok by TillM

What a cool artsy page! I Love the masking along with the placement of the accent element, and the doll walking in the scene, traveling the world. And awesome how she repeated the lines in this gorgeous layout. Great colors too!

Vintage Spring florjuscrap

What an adorable and beautiful page! I adore the brush and masking work in this beautiful design. The contrast between the Black and White and colors ,the textures, placing of elements, it all works together here to make this page really stand out. I love it!

My Heart by caliten

I heart this vertical design. Love all the colors and the contrast with the Black and White, and all those elements she added. The awesome also great contrasted photo fits perfectly in there! I also like how she stitched it all together.

Winter walk by Pepette

Love the beautiful photo of those children walking in the snow! Love how the photo is framed with the spill over the frame, and the angle of the frame. She made the perfect background behind it. And I also like the little cluster with the snowman! It has a great winter feel!

Permanent Residents by isDK

I love to read how the birds dressed up for spring in this beautiful spread, and how  the amazing design flows across the page drawing your eye to the permanent residents. I also love the color palette with the subtle tones of yellow. I admire how she always gets her pages so perfectly balanced. It’s so pleasing to the eye!

Go Forth and be Fabulous by wendymck

This layout grabbed my attention. I am amazed the dress is made from broken tea cups and sun tea bags. And the model (her DD) is looking very beautiful too. I’m not surprised she won in the show! What makes it even more special is the geometric framing and the beautiful brushwork behind the photo. Now it also won a place in the GSO (LOL)

This is all from me today, hope everyone enjoys, has a great day…and don’t forget you can click on the high lit name of the LO and author to leave them some love in their galleries… TFL!!!! See you next time, Happy scrapping!

 

Hello everyone. I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! I have been peeking in the galleries and I would love to show some of the layouts that really caught my eye. I hope they bring you some nice scrapping inspiration! So let’s take a look!

2017 Christmas Cactus times by easyeyes4you

What a beautiful page! I so love the dimension and perspective! The masking and blending is very well done here! I love the colors and beautiful brush work too, and the scribbles and lines give it a bit of movement. It all works together perfectly!

Resolutions by jaye

What a fresh and beautiful page! I love the colors together with the Black and White photo. That photo is pretty awesome too! Awesome layering and design! A great page to look at! I hope that many doors will open for her!

Fantastic page! Love this artsy beautiful phototreatment in the photo and in the whole layout! Beautiful white space balance and an awesome blending at the top of the page! I love the colors together too! It all is so pleasing for the eye! Great winter feel she created!

What an adorable and joyful page! I so love all the hearts (must have taken her forever) and all the beautiful colors. That photo of the girl with her crown is so sweet! Very awesome layering and design. I get happy looking at it!

Anaphora by Adryane

Way cool and awesome! That’s what I thought when I saw it in the gallery! This lady has such  great style and creativity! I love this artwork! The design, the colors, the birds. She even wrote that her son is in there! Well I keep looking and looking! It became a very interesting abstract piece of art with a wonderful energy to it!

MOC5-21 by jjpederson125

This page jumped on me as I saw it! I love to see a dark background with everything popping out like that! Don’t know why but I hardly ever work with a dark blackground! In this page it’s so very effective and beautiful! Love the glow as the title already says it, and the wonderful song lyric and journaling. And yes we must always try to find the glow in those dark hard times!

That’s it for now! I hope you’ve found inspiration in the Standouts I’ve chosen (I sure did!)! I’ll see you all in the galleries and forums again real soon! Stay warm! Until next time! Happy scrapping!

Happy and creative 2017! This is my first post for the new year. Hope you guys are having a fantastic time wherever you are! Everything is back to normal here and we are having a wonderful winter day here in the Netherlands. And now I’m ready to bring you my favorite top 6 layouts that I found for you today after browsing a lot of pages in the galleries!

Hello all. I’m finally ready with my laundry and all the things I usually do on Saturday. Why do them now today? Because I spend a lovely day yesterday with Jopke and Jeanine! So nice to see my scrap-friends again and to talk about our creative lives and about all kinds of things! I had a wonderful day! But today is super busy. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around me! Can you believe Christmas is only two weeks from today? But now after a stroll through the galleries, here are my picks for this Sunday. I hope you like them and feel inspired to create some beautiful pages too!

Fantasy in Lights by deanie

Love a pure fantasy page like this! What a special photo. And she made just the right layout for it!  Adore how she used the subtle color and how she layered the elements under the photo!  Not only the magic of the holidays, this page has a bit of magic too! And let us have some peace on earth, yes please!

Run-wildly by silent ranks

Another page that I adore for its layering. Very wonderful use of colors too! Love the whole feel of this page! The angle of the word strips, the faded photo that gives so much extra interest to it all! Just so very pretty all together and wonderful to look at!

Very festive and beautiful page without photo! She made that beautiful ornament shine and sparkle in her own magical way, with great brushwork and colors. Love the textures and the lace too! Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone! Here is Margje from the Netherlands. It’s getting colder! I got myself nice and warm by the fireplace today for the first time this season! And suddenly the winter feeling hit me on the head! Time is going so fast. I always have sad feelings giving up the summer! (when I didn’t had my digital scrapbook hobby it was even worse) But OK it was cozy and nice and I accepted that those dark grey days are here and we have to make our light and warmth inside! And now I am upstairs in my room and it’s not warm in here, so I have to warm myself and my heart with all the beautiful pages I see in the gallerys! So let’s see what I found us on this cozy Sunday!

Hello!!!! Margje here with my choices from the galleries on this last Sunday of October! We have wintertime since last night and the extra hour of sleep was very welcome! It was a very nice soft autumn day here in the Netherlands with a bit of sunshine! Awesome to be outside and do some garden work!  But now I’m done and I’m really looking forward to bring you some wonderful pages I found in the galleries today!

Hey Guy by musicmom3

What an awesome tribute to this lovely dog! The letter she wrote for him is heartwarming! The page is sad, one of the things we have to cope with loving an animal so deeply and have to let go! But so much to love in this page. The repetition, the colors, the wordArt! It’s a fantastic page!

Feeling Blue2 by MrsPeel

Love the whole feel of this awesome layout! Great photo and blending work! So much to discover and to look at, but perfectly balanced and pleasing for the eye!

Scary or not by happyscraparts

Caught my eye immediately in the gallery! Love the outstanding brushwork, the bright moon and all of the dripping paint. It has a great Halloween feel! Love the play with the wordart/text too! I saw it a few days ago, but I had to come back and show it here!

October Medley by SharLamb
