Hello Everyone!! I’m sorry that this is late today, but my day just got away with me! I hope that you enjoy the layouts that I have found and am sharing here now!  It’s so hard to believe it’s Summer again – and the galleries sure are showing that it is!

Tic Tac by Thuria

I just love this! The colors of the paint really blend well together and I like the way she blends the text into the background. The photo is adorable, and I like the way she used the frames as elements underneath it.  Her paint marks and blending are wonderful!

Epic: Tapeface by TraceyM

 

Tracey is not only an amazing designer, but a wonderful layout artist too!! I always love the bold bright colors tht she uses, and the repetition of the chevrons makes for a wonderfully fun background! That photo is hysterical, and the bold fun elements and title fit it perfectly!

Beach by ErinR

This page is just so beachy and summery! The photos are fun, but I really like the way everything is stacked and so beautifully shadowed. I am in love with the sea horse she used!! The paint splashes and maker marks are a perfect base for this layout!

Adorable by Dunia

These photos are absolutely fantastic!! In fact, they are so wonderful that the layout needed to have a simple design behind them! The ripple strips are perfect and the little title “Adorable” is perfect for this delicate and striking page.

Stillness by RLN69

I was fascinated by this page when I saw it. I was drawn into the sketch of the little boy and somehow I connected with him. The flower clusters are beautiful and adroitly shadowed. I love the stray little butterfly in the smaller image.

It Happens by StephanieS

Having the entire page black and white except for her photos is a very striking way to scrap this most “painful” layout! I love the screaming girl and the paper piles. I think the tag with “It Happens” is perfect in its succinctness. Love the daisy and the newspaper background.

Well, there you have it.  6 Pages for you to love too!! As always, if you have any time, click on through either the title or the image and you can leave a meaningful comment for them!

See you soon,

Hello everyone out there in Digi-land!!! I hope all is well in your part of the world! Here in Las Vegas the weather just can’t seem to decide what it wants to do! One day it’s cold and blustery, then it’s hot, then it’s warm and windy, then it’s dead calm!! It’s like Summer is trying to take over and Spring isn’t ready to let go yet. Soon enough it will be hot enough to cook eggs on the sidewalk, so I’m enjoying it now!!

As I was going through the galleries today I noticed that there are a lot of pages that have some really fun and interesting design choices, and I tried to pick an assortment of pages that I thought needed some attention! As always, if you have time, click on through to the galleries and leave these ladies some loving on their pages! I know it’s a thrill every time I see a comment is made on one of my pages, and I don’t think these ladies are any different!!

Here we go!

Find Balance by Pantherka

I was immediately drawn into the gorgeous face of this little girl and I just love the photo treatment that she used on her.  I have always wanted to be that person who knows how to tweak photos in Photoshop and make really cool effects, but I’ll just have to drool at other people’s work because I’ve never really been able to replicate what I think I see in my mind’s eye. The blending into the background is really good, and the cluster is beautiful. The blending of the background paper is really interesting to look at, and the title is perfect for the layout and the girl. I have always loved the printing block alphas.

Treasured Memories by Saar

This page brought me into my feels so much! My mom passed away 10 years ago, and what I would give to share treasured moments like this! I looked at every picture and remembered those treasured memories of my own! I really love the chicken wire as a base for her clusters and the flower clusters are amazing – both in the color mixing choices and the shadowing! I really like the film strip frames for the smaller photos and the paper piles behind it all. I really like that she kept the title large!

Easter 2025 by bbe

I am so enchanted by this page! The photos of her daughter running around looking for the eggs are so fun and I can feel her excitement! What I love about all the elements that she used is that they are soft in color scheme so that they don’t take over the photos at all. The word strips convey the fun meaning of the day, and the blending of the large photo is such a perfect base to the page! The film strip cut outs are also a really cool touch!

Let’s Get Western by Carrie1977

I was immediately drawn to the vertical alignment of this page and all the fun stickers and photos! I had to click in and see the details and find out where this awesome place is!  The watercolor paint splashes are a perfect base to her photos and the ephemera all tucked in between are very interesting and tell the story of this wonderful place. I’m a country gal at heart even though I live in the city – so this one is a definite favorite of mine!

Quiet Thoughts that Linger by Betty Jo

So now TWO layouts reminded me of my Momma. Butterflies always mean my Momma whenever I see them. This watercolor butterfly is exquisite! It almost looks like a stained glass window! I love how she used color here – the striped paper matches all the colors of that magnificent flower cluster. I like the diagonal paper to show visual interest, and the little button in the middle with the string hanging down is a nice way to get some of that splash of purple color into the main part of the page.

Almost Said it by Sonja onaponakookt

Rounding out our pages, we have Sonja with this art journaling beauty. I have always been a fan of Sonja’s work, and this page is no different! I really love the way she used the sketch of the young woman and put some journaling on her hair. The paint all over and the little touches of hearts and the star give good visual interest to the page. The poem is quite sharp and hits home in some ways for me, and her use of the word strips tell the story that her art is also saying!

Well, that’s it for this trip around the galleries!! Come back tomorrow for more fun!!

Welcome to today’s version of finger pointing!! I have really been enjoying all the spring layouts that have been popping up in the galleries! I think I have a really good assortment of pages and styles to show to you today!

Week 11 by lot95designs

This traveler’s notebook page is so adorable!!! I love the sweet little sketch girl and all the wonderful shadowing on the right side page. The left side has a fantastic cluster with some beautiful butterflies! This is going to make an amazing year book!

Postcard Worthy by bred1269

Don’t you just want to dive into that beautiful lake? I love how she left the photo very large, and used all the postcard elements to make it feel like  a postcard! The ghosted scenery on the bottom anchors the page and the title is perfectly placed and the finishing touch!

Butter Me Up by nibylandia-11

I can absolutely smell this layout! I am a complete sucker for bread of any kind and this is such a wonderful way to make a recipe card! The photos of the bread is yummy and all the little pieces she’s used just make this page amazing!

Bow Glacier Falls by Terri M. 

It is so hard to get a really good photo of falls, and she did so well with framing this water prize!!! I also like the way she circled her husband and did an ECU of him so that we could see just how large it was!!  The title is so perfect because this really does show {PERSPECTIVE}.

Mangrove Trees by jam-on-toast

Don’t you just want to walk through those amazing trees??! What a wonderful way to showcase this amazing photo. I love the way the path melts into the background that helps us be able to read her journaling and title work. The photos are fun and definitely make the mood a happy one!

Enjoy Nature by shunnstergirl

How can anyone resist a cute little boy just discovering the joys of nature?? I sure can’t! I love that she used so many photos and angles and the sweet clusters all over are perfect to show nature. I like the title work, and the journal card! I really love the binoculars in the one cluster!

SO there you have them – 6 pages I thought needed some finger pointing!! If you have time, click on through and give them love!!!
