Hello all!! Krista, here. I’ve missed going through the galleries to see such lovely inspiration… and there were SO many beauties I found today. Check out a few of them that caught my eye.

What a fun fun page!! I love the hot orange and pink together, it goes perfect with your photos. LOVE the layered papers, bits and elements and the sparkles add just the perfect amount of POP to the page.

I can’t believe how much I LOVE this page! The color just pops off of the white background and the added paint splatters are just right for the theme of the page. Beautiful beautiful photographs too!

There are so many wonderful things going on in this layout, from the great hexagon shapes, hexagon frame, to the paper cut out of the word art. I love the simple techniques and style to this amazing page.

WOW!! Seriously WOW!! First of all, the photograph is so beautiful!! But most of all I love the graphic feel to the word art and the colors you’ve used. This looks like a magazine ad.

Hello all, Krista here to report another beautiful day in the galleries.
Check out these amazing STANDOUTS I found today!

What a beautiful collection of photographs of a bride on her wedding day. I love the gorgeous different angles and the page almost tells a story and gives you a look at all of the details. Amazing blending work.

I could not take my eyes of of this page… the details look so realistic, it’s almost like I can reach out and touch the page. What a neat idea to cluster all of the paper bits down the stitching.

WOW!! Incredible page. I love all of the paper elements and pieces used… I keep looking wondering, is it paper? is it digi? is it paper. Absolute beautiful page design and color scheme.

Love the simplistic design, yet having the black and white photo, and pop of color everything just POP-ed out of the gallery. The visual aspect of the page is just so appealing.

I Heart You by Bluelemur01

Hello all, Krista here to bring you today’s beautiful pages. As I was posting today, I noticed a ‘theme’ to my standouts… I was inspired by fresh, clean wintery pages today. I hope they inspire you as well.

I love that this page is fresh and clean feeling, yet vintage and grungy at the same time. The attention to the small details really make this page a treat for the eye. I adore the layers of little bits around the page.
The Climb by scullen2

WOW! It’s almost like I can feel the cold winter air in the photo. Like I am standing outside surrounded by snow and a cool breeze… what amazing art to be able to transport you to FEEL the page.

What a perfect title page for a December Daily album… just like a wreath hanging on your door welcoming guests in, it is perfect for the cover of an album. I love the realism and shadow work.
December Daily – Title Page by Kim_R

My personal favorite is multi-photo layouts, and Heather did an amazing job to not only capture the memory but to tell teh story on her page. Everything from teh embellishments to the brushwork, to the detailed photo of the hanging leaf, to the beautiful photos all help to tell the “story” of this day.

Walk With Daddy by HeatherPrins

What beautiful artwork!! Not only are all of the details of these snowflake unqiue and beautiful… but the sentiment behind the page as well.
Like a Snowflake by jaye

Chalkboard is all the rage this season, but I haven’t seen anything like this!! It looks so real and not digital… I had to look again to be sure. What a cool concept to an ablum.

Hello Everyone, Krista here. I’m so glad to be back picking my favorite scrapbooking picks that I found today in the galleries.

Precious by MissK
What a great beautiful and simple page design. All it takes is beautiful everday photos, simple word art and gorgeous colors to create a full designed page.

Smiled So Much by EHStudios
I love how you use the circle and startburst design to create flow on your layout. AND, the placement of your photso is so clever as well. I feel like I can see the two of them talking across a table with each other.

this i love by Heather Prins
WOW!! This makes me want to go out an play with some brushes. Great over all design, use of neutral colors. Love her beautiful smile!

Free Spirit by by mrsski07
This layout gives off a feeling of being free! The open space, the breezy feel to the page and the dark woodgrain. Love this unique way to designed the page off to one side.

For Rache – Photo Swap by carollee
Beach photos always do it for me… but this page “feels” like I’m at the beach. With neutral sandy colors, mutliple photos tacked down, this is a fav for me for sure.

Sweet treat by mrphoto
This is such a fun layout. I love the mixture of old pieces with the colorful new designed papers. And those photos… are SO sweet.

Hello all, Krista here.  You are going to love all of the gorgeous beauties I found today… I’ll get right to it!

I love this sweet page so much!  I love all of the texture on the page… from the canvas paper, to the vintage ephemera, to the stitching and string… it has so many delicate details.

 

This page capture pure childlike joy!  I LOVE that you used a black and white photo treatment for the photos on the side.  It draws your eye straight there… and right to her sweet face.  That blended photo is incredible too.

 

don’t disturb… this graphic feel of a layout drew me straight in from the gallery view.  I had to check out more of the details, and it doesn’t disappoint.

 

oh my goodness.  The layers and bits, and stamps, grunge and paint…. they all give a feel of AWESOME-ness!!  Totally love everything about this.  I need to try create a page like this.  LOVE in every way.

 

I’m so glad you shared this layout, because this ‘drawing’ photo is incredible.  You must tell us your techniques on how you achieved this look.  SO beautiful.

 

What a perfect use of fontography on the page… from the title work, to the mixed color date, this  page is a stand out!!  LOVE that you’ve captured so many photos in one page.  Sometimes you just have too many you HAVE to fit in.  🙂

Hello all… Krista here. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve been able to post here at Gallery Standouts. I’ve missed looking through all of the galleries… and found myself getting lost in all of the beautiful artwork. Take a look at a few knockouts.

WOW! Jacque is always an amazing artist that always inspires me. I LOVE the vibrant colors, and the black word art that draw your eye straight down the rainbow to the sweet smiling face. AWESOME use of the page and balance between the starts and the confetti.

 

I can see why this photo is a favorite. Its a perfect way to include a larger version of the photo so you can cherish looking at it for years to come. LOVE the simplicity!

 

Sigh. I love daddy’s with there kiddos… these photographs are an amazing memory captured, and I love that these are in black and white to capture that emotion. I love all of the layers on the page starting with all of the brush work.

 

This page is so clean and fresh. LOVE the happy colors and that smiling face. I also really like that you chose to make it a black and white photograph. I must have that clean lined font too!!

 

School time already!! What great shots you got throughout the morning, it tells the story through the photographs. I love all of the pink en-captured in the page too!

 

This layout is SO AWESOME!! The visual is so incredible with the extraction and element work… and I LOVE the journaling you’ve captured about yourself. Great page.

Hello all, Krista here. It’s the last official day of May… and with that, the promise of summer. I don’t know about you all, but I am so giddy for some nice sun-warmed days.

I love getting into the galleries, and I have a few I had to share with you.

Gift of Love by jbarksdale
I love daddy /daughter pages… they make me melt. This one is no exception, truly beautiful with the soft colors, stacked layers, and vintage ephemera. I LOVE how realistic this layout is.

Strawberry Picking by amberr
Amber has such a beautiful way of documenting an entire story. Just by looking at the page, I get a whole “feel” of this day. What they did, how the weather was, the strawberries, her sweet darling daughter. Such an inspiring page.

ocean by gavinsmum
It’s a wonder why the use of great white space can really make you feel something. It can almost make you feel a certain emotion. I love the journaling about seeing the ocean for the first time. Beautiful way to document this.

smoochable embrace by Melissa Hill
Oh goodness… can these pictures BE any cuter? I love the crops on the photos and the pops of color to bring the page to life. Great scattered bits on the page to finish it off.

flourish by ViVre
What a wonderful use of brushes, masks and a monochromatic color palette. My eye is drawn right to the photograph and travels through the page seamlessly. Just beautiful work.

Go Your Own Way by rebecca h
I love the inspirational message here… and how it’s displayed across the page. It visibily makes an impact and drew me straight from the gallery. The worldly feel to the page including the map and layered stack is perfect way to coordinate the message.
