Finger Pointings – August 3rd

Hi there! It’s my  turn again to show you the pages I had a crush on today. Too hot again to go outside anyway so better stay in front of the computer and be amazed by beautiful designs, right? Hope you enjoy too!

Outdoor by MiekSter – I looooove the big page mask used with the patterned paper and the whole design against the wood pattern. Beautiful brush work behind the photo and cool title and bits to “frame” this picture. The crisp photos pops really nice with the overall soft and delicate colors of the page. Love it!

 

Downtown by ValeJules – Vale is one of the artists that makes this statement always true : “less is better”. Looks at this gorgeous design. I know it’s the first time I mentioned her pages here but what do you expect?! They are all noticable and gorgeous so they tend to be in the spotlight often lol!! I love the fading and sketchy effect and on the photo and the stitches that follow along the bridge rampage (is that the word?). Stunning job!

 

Awesome Dad by justjen – I looove the composition here with the big photo and the repeat at the bottom to accent the main “actor” in this page. Love how one is fading and the flow that make the elements and title. Great design for a sweet picture.

Summer Days by Nikki Epperson – Amazing cluster!!! I want her brain!!! Look at the color balance here. I love the B&W photos with those colorful flowers and the wooden background! The tiny butterflies and the confettis are a wonderful accent in the back and the shadows, oh my! Can’t take my eyes of the page. Simply YUMMILICIOUS to the eyes!!

 

Fierce by Scrapsandsass – Another fantastic layering here too. Love all those patterned paper pieces and the crop on the photo. Can you see how well all goes together color wise, all matches the pink of her shirt, the black of her hair and the blue eyes with the aqua dots in the patterns. The paint splatters and that long stitch are the cherry on top. Wonderful!

 

Just Keep Swimming by theolivesparrow – And let’s finish this post today with this super fun and colorful design. Man! This girl has some crazy layering skills, or what?! I love the complex mix of papers and elements stacked behind the journal card. Awesome shadow work too of course. If not, this wouldn’t look so real and beautiful I think. Stunning job!

 

Finger pointing – July 20th

 Good morning… evening (?) everyone! Still hot and humid here in Japan. All that I hate. I have family coming from Korea from tomorrow, Wednesday, to Sunday and I am not looking forward to go around in that heat but we have a few fun things planned so hopefully will forget about the humidity… probably not but ones can hope lol. But for today I can stay home and before starting to clean I took some time to gallery browsing. Let’s see if you like the picks I have today! Hope you enjoy!

Drumheller by JoanneBrisebois – First stop today is at the beach! Look at this awesome blending and work on the background. I love the soft look. It goes so well with the beach and sky colors. And the cherry on top of this page is of course the super cool and fun out-of-bound photo. Loooove how it seems they are climbing outside the frame! Truly super cool!!

BEen Here by jumlai – Here is another page with an awesome blending job and background. How cool does this picture look with his arms extended and it fits perfectly the globe, right? Very clever. Love the colors  and the flow that makes the globe, the photo and the big title.

af by marnel – More coolness again! I love how she used the patterns in the paper to place the photos with unusual cuts. Perfect design for this boyish page. Full of energy and I love all those type of WAs and paper bits. Very artsy!

 

Awesome by domad – Beautiful colors here and perfect color match with the picture. I love the flow of elements here and the little bits everywhere. The mix of stitches, brushes, tiny stars is super yummy. Great association of letters with the big and bold title, the paper bits journal and the colorful WAs.

Special Delivery by mum2gnt – On to some cuteness!!! OMG! This is so adorable! Delicate and soft just like this special delivery must be. Love the brush work and how the photo is attached with the staples. Also love the sepia photo with those sprinkles of pink and orange. Great choice of fonts too for the title and date. I can’t stop looking at the details here like the shadowing for example. Truly wonderful!

 

Set Sail – Halong Bay by DeborahWagner – Seems like it’s a theme with me lately. Maybe I want to travel… Not maybe, surely! And here is another page making me want to go abroad. I love big photos, no secret here, and I love the beautiful blend and the way she showcased the WAs. Beautiful photo and design! Perfect color match. I want to GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Finger Pointing – July 13th

Oops! Running pretty late for this post. I actually started it in advance and then life got in the way and then I forgot to edit and here we are a few hours later and it’s already the 14th in any other part of the world… Let’s just say that it’s still the 13th on my planet? OK? lol Enough bla bla after such a delay and here are my picks for… yesterday! lol

Beach Days by Sexy__Eyes – Let’s start by the perfect summer page if you please. Looks at those beautiful pastel colors that match so nicely the slightly vintage photo. I love the delicate brush work in the back and behind the cluster. Love how the photo lifts from the page like it was a real paper scrap. Beautiful shadowing.

p15m by Vissarah – And now on to a gorgeous camaïeu (is cameo the English word?) of blues for a super fresh page. I love how the brushes and the bird overlap on the photo but also how the photo is in a mask and go a little beyond the frame. The flower gives the whole a little bit of volume without being too heavy. Wonderful job!

Fireworks by Secima – I love fireworks and I thought I had seen some before I came to Japan but I had seen nothing! The scale is so big here it’s amazing. And this is what I thought about first when I saw this page. I love the dark background that looks like a night sky and the white watercolor brushes go fantastically with the mood of the night. The yellow dots give a little bit of highlight. Love the repeats of the photos in small to show what the spectacle looked like. Great design!

One day in feb by misslovescraps – “Awesome cluster/framing” is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this page. Love the big bold title and the cute elements all over that seem to keep the paper and the photo “attached” to the page. It has a very sweet look with the cute pink but also elegant with the dark blue and the gold. Love the mix of words in different size and styles too.Wonderful job.

Putting it into action by star74 – OMG! Look a this one!!! This has to be a real paper scrap, hasn’t it?! You gotta have very good taste and eye to make so little look so good. Love the big flower in the same color as the helmet in the photo. And the flow that is given with the leaves and the branches behind the photo. Truly gorgeous design!

Balance by Chocochoco – And finally the queen of clusters, I name Chocochoco. Look at this gorgeous ensemble!!! Wow wow wow. Not only the colors are awesome together but all those tiny bits and flower to make an amazing cluster. Love the big zigzag patterned frame and how the journal/title and WAs are placed. Maybe when I grow up I can scrap like this?! GORGEOUS!
