Good evening everyone, hoping you are all well and enjoying the weekend. Here I am again, haven’t been able to post as my health is giving me a bit of a hard time, but hoping to be able to be around this month. So many pages on a Friday evening, I feel my heart is torn with decision making! I hope you enjoyed the choices for today.
Love the scrapping back in time, this gorgeous photo of her daughter so tiny, a wonderful smile that sets the tone for the page, and Stefanie’s wonderful elegance on combining patterns is a master class! Also elegantly embellished, the feeling of sweetness and softness achieved, all together fabulous!
Continuing the fabulous category, Sheri is shining (as she does!), I admire her talent for clustering, here the whole thing comes together telling a motherhood pride without one word, the perfection of those shadows that bring depth and the amazing variety of elements, clipart and worn out frames, together with gorgeous choices of papers, most definitely a standout!
Another super talented lady, here with a wonderful composition making the eye travel from side to side, joining the path with gorgeous threads. The flowers clusters are so perfectly put together, great layering of little bits and pieces, splashes of ink and scatters of sequins all so perfectly placed and then, to complete the perfection, a flair like element, white with a single autumnal leaf that is bright and lifts the light of the whole page….once again, as always for the past 15 years, Ellen captures my heart!
This lady is a new discovery of mine, I haver seen page after page of hers that keeps making my heart sing! This is impressive, a gorgeous choice of drawing as a central piece, so beautifully framed layering lace and string giving dimension, there is so much here and yet, is elegant and dreamy, love how the whole page is a constant discovery of new textures, marvellous!
This straight away put a huge smile on my face, even from the thumbnail I knew I would love it… there is such a great feeling on an explosion of color like this, feels modern and fresh, lots of patterns so perfectly combined, and then I had to make a pause for a wOw on the extraction put together with pieces of papers and the photo corner turning it into an out of bounds…. so awesome! There is so much I could be wowing about, the whole thing is fabulous!!!
Love it when I am captured by a page visually, but then come closer and there is either a back story or a bit of an explanation of how the page came to be….you can bet I am in love! I think inspiration in an art as personal as scrapbooking is, doesn’t always come unless a little bit more of an effort is put to communicate., which most definitely happens here, she put together two of my most favorite things to do: scrap our people, history or our settings, and then the thoughts we have when coming across some special pictures or some gorgeous kits… the extraction and blending are perfect, as are the joining of the parts, great word art and alpha (or word art?) for the title discreetly placed at the bottom, plus her grand son is such a beautiful, sweet boy…. impressively beautiful page!!!
Last but not least…
I wont sing Susie’s praise as I know I have done it before, but can’t help falling in love with each and every page of hers! Love her take on the challenge, the collage inside the circle is fabulous, if you read her explanation, it all starts making even more sense and the word focus is on every section of the page! Visually stunning, also with wise words, only focusing on the change can we get results!!! Fabulous in every pixel!
This is all from me today, hope you have enjoyed these gorgeous pieces as much as I do!
