Hello! I was lost in the galleries! There are so many creative storytellers who are willing to share their stories and artistry!

Autumn Leaves by Angela Toucan

The beautiful flow of the leaves caught my eye in this artistry! The leaves glide -perhaps pushes by cooler breezes- across the soft ground! The colors are the best of fall with the warm red, oranges and browns. The journaling shares the love of fall walks – the sights and sounds. This is beautiful artistry to capture the season!

Forest Path by Bryanna

The photo spills perfectly out of the frame into the ground. The blending is fabulous! The blowing leaves have escaped from the gorgeous accent cluster of flowers, owls and mushrooms. The child is wide – eyed and adorable. This fleeting moment is captured and preserved in an beautiful design!

Journey by elseepe

Beautiful smiles and exercise are skillfully combined in this journey for self-improvement. The photos are balanced on a stack of text, brushes and paper elements, and the arrows bring the viewer into the design. The colors are soft purples, blues, and greens. The energy is exciting in this fantastic design!

Capturing Authenticity by genie

A wonderful heritage image is given a touch of modern artistry! The photo has the traditional photo corners. The cluster of flowers and the filmstrip accents give the impression that the artist decorated the original photo album! The embossed photographer adds a beautiful element that returns our focus to the family. Excellent memory design!

Driving into Yellowstone by Stacia 

I love a big photo design! This one brings us into the scene as we are able to view the majestic vista and the activity around the trip. Beautifully balanced photos give us the details of the journey. I love the white title brush across the photo! The pops of color emphasize the photos! This is an amazing travel design!

Goeland by timounette

The artistry of white space is used to great effect in this dynamic design. The photo is framed with filmstrips and layered brushwork. A text transfer is blended into the subtle paint layers of the ground. The title appears to extend the color of the photo and gives wise advice. Gorgeous design choices!

I hope you are inspired by these artists. You can find them in their galleries if you click the title. Perhaps, share your thoughts and compliments!

Good evening! I want to share with you my latest discoveries in the galleries! The weekend galleries are full with artists sharing special moments and stories from their lives.

Moments by JenEm

The focus on a single bird in a refreshing pool adds to the tension created by the diagonal paper rips. The image is powerful and majestic. The neutral tones create unity in the design. A slight contrast in texture with a printed paper adds interest to accent the image. This is an extraordinary photo and composition!

Slow Moments by Laras Digi World

A thought captured in a single photo stands in contrast to the light in the window. A beautiful portrait blended and accented with a soft flower. The journal block is heartfelt and memorable. This is definitely worth the read. The deep colors of the ground are a mix of colors. The depth and richness add to the gorgeous artistry!

Handcrafted – La Catrina by Nancyo

The amazing, handcrafted doll is preserved in the story and the photos. The story is fascinating and the doll is gorgeous! The black and white coloring carries the orange pops throughout the design. Lace, stitching and a canvas ground build layers of texture for visual interest. Beautiful artistry in the digital technique and the doll!

This Is for Me by Rachel Jefferies

The photo is a fun portrait that I love! The kids are looking anywhere except the camera! The color effect is gorgeous! The highlights of the image carry a strong threshold and the colors are softened. The contrast is perfect for the white space and black artsy lines! Stunning composition!

Crimson Whispers by Tativero

The imagery is soft and dreamy-perhaps a memory softened by time! The cluster unites the images as the flowers create a base for the photos. Lovely, deep red-violet and black brush work deepen the layers and create visual movement through the design! Breathtaking as you stroll through the gallery!

Live this Moment by wombat146

A beautifully blended image is carefully balanced with a dimensional cluster. Writing that seems flat compared to the energy of the dynamic portrait that Ona has created. The blending is superb. The lady possesses a classic style in her sunglasses. The autumn flora cluster is rich in color and depth. The artistry is stunning!

If you would like to see more from these artists, you can find their gallery by clicking the link in the title of each work.

I hope you are inspired to share your special moments and memories . . .

Yay! It is Friday! I am excited to share some of the artistry I found in the galleries. Designers and artists are making subtle shifts in the seasons! The designs are full of colors and textures! Artists are sharing with us their lives and adventures and personal stories!

Siblings by Britgirl

Siblings gives us a beautiful family portrait. I love the use of a neutral ground and the layers of papers. The accent clusters are pops of greens, blue and gold to perfectly match the photo. The addition of sequins offers a subtle use of texture and visual movement. Each element is carefully placed to highlight the priceless family group. Fabulous!

Sunrise by Chai

Sunrise is a warm invitation to share a cup of tea and a spectacular view! I love the use of perspective and depth of the photo! The view shares the distant skyline to contrast with the close up of the cup and flowers. The design is based on the white space concept. This adds focus and calm to the feeling of the morning! The clusters are layers of brushes, paints and three dimensional flowers and papers! Wonderful and inspiring artistry!

Stashed Stories – Hammer by dwsewbiz

Stashed Stories – Hammer is a delight with the journaling and photo artistry! Beautiful memories of a childhood are washed in the warmth of time. The photos and ground have a washed tone to add harmony to the design. Extensive storytelling is accented with artsy clusters for depth, balance and interest. Inspirational!

Totally Fallish by Norma Keevers

Totally Fallish is a notice to all of us that seasons are preparing to shift. I can feel the change in the cooler mornings! I love how the figure is welcoming the change. The clusters are beautiful groupings of leaves, mushrooms, and a frog. The warm oranges and reds are setting the stage. I love the contrast of the blended patterns. Gorgeous!

Look Closer by Ozegirl

Look Closer is a peep into the world of little boys. . . curious . . . calm . . . quiet. I love that the boys dominate the page in the beautiful pencil drawing! The artist has used a triangle arrangement of accents and word clusters to frame the image and establish the flowing movement. The magnifying glass is a fun element repeated with the boys and the title! Charming and awesome!

Heart Full by Thuria

Heart Full caught my eye because the distressed canvas echoes the mountains in the beautiful photos! A lovely couple stands together to create a magical moment! The mist trails across the page. The dried flowers are taped to the design as if they were picked and preserved from the trip. Beautiful and heart felt memories!

I hope you find inspiration in these artists.  If you click the titles, you can leave them “love” in their galleries!

Happy Friday! Happy Memories!
