Finger Pointing – September 21st

Hello, everyone! Paula here with today’s Standouts! It’s with a very heavy heart that today is going to be my last post because has been very hard for me to adjust my time with so many tasks lately…My first post here was exactly 5 years ago, on September 16th 2011!!!! What a coincidence… It’s very hard to say goodbye…I want to thank the entire GSO team, as well as all of you scrappers, for so many years of inspiration, friendship and fun!

I have some absolutely wonderful layouts to share with you tonight, so let’s get to it!

Him by Margje

Just love Margje’s pages! This is for a challenge that has a sketch to use use in the layouts and she made it .Fabulous use the scribbles and paints over the sketch, and I love the addition of the red paint. So

Lovely clustering of elements along with the framing that is perfect on this beautiful paper. Everything matches. Wonderful colours so soft and dreamy!

Calms His Child by jencropable

God is powerful! “Sometimes He calms the storm and other times He calms His child.” With this stunning page Jen can pass the exact message that “When God calm the storm inside us all around can look like chaos but we can be able to stand still in the midst of it.” Love the greens here, the figure mirrored, the different fonts used at the quote and the littel water drops.

Reluctant bridesmaid by Applechick

It’s a good theme she approaches here: The Smile in old photos. People may have believed that serious expressions suited these special occassions. For most people having photographs taken was not a common activity, but a rare luxury. They might only have their pictures taken a few in their lives so I think the seriousness of formal occasions and the desire to be seen as upper class and as a person of good character were the reason behind it: Don’t smile!! Love her mom’s pic blended with the background and the little touches of blues and pinks. This is a priceless photo and history!!!

Finger Pointing January 6th

Hello!!
It’s that time of year again. I love the start of a new year. The time when we make our New Year’s resolutions, when everyone starts thinking about make lists and goals.
Each year I do a review of what I’ve learned, what I’veaccomplished, mistakes I’ve made, failures, etc…
There’s just something about it that forces me to take a few steps back and reflect on what has happened and what I’m going to do next.
I wish you many blessings and joy in 2016! Hope you have a wonderful fresh start to your year!
Here are my picks from the gallery today, I hope you enjoy them!
