Morning all!
Tracy here! Coffee and toast in hand 🙂
Cannot think of a nicer way to start the day, than gallery stalking lol

I found some amazing pages today I’m excited to share with you! They have me excited to get some pages done myself 🙂

 

Aloha by Carrie1977
I love the bright fun painted paper, with all those photos. I find it hard to get so many photos on without it looking junky so I’m always drawn to these pages!

 

Little Moments by arliddian

Wow, loving the off center circles in the circles, and all those fun elements. I’m going to steal this look lol.

Love how the focus draws you in, to that one awesome photo also. Gorgeous.

 

 

Coco Colada by Lor

This is by one of my all time fave scrappers, always love her composition, colours, and stunning photos and this is no exception. That background paper, the way it frames with such a cool troppo vibe,  with the almost handmade looking elements is a huge win for me 🙂

 

Thoughtful by Rollinchen

This is gorgeous, arty, and makes me smile. Serene, just like that lovely Buddha!  Love that quote too, very awesome page.

 

 

Catching Waves by Silvia

Simple design, love the out of the frame design, fluid like the waves 🙂 funny its simple, but detailed at the same time. Love it. (and I miss summer dearly lol)

 

July Inspiration by MiekSter

This is so cool! That watercolour paper? Makes me want to touch it. BIG fan of texture and this rings my bells 🙂 just lovely with that gorgeous smiling face too right?

 

Thanks for reading today! Hope you enjoyed my picks, leave some love for the clever page artists if you like!
Have  a wonderful day wherever you are 🙂

Hello! Tracy here 🙂

Hope your all having a nicer day than I am whereever you are! Rain and rain today, I am in total envy of most of you going into summer while we look forward (??!?) to winter.

Perfect day for gallery cruising though!
Hope you enjoy my picks today…

 

10th Anniversary 5k Autism Race by digigrandma

Love this, the pops of elements, the multiple photos, (which I can NEVER pull off well lol) also a cause close to my heart with my gorgeous Pixie 🙂

 

Go jump in the ocean by P’tiscrap .. wow.

I love how it reminds me of a great graphic print ad, rather than a scrapbook page! Loving the vintage colouring too, very inspiring.

Be Free by Vanilla M Designs

The clustering and shadow work here is amazing, such depth and interest!

 

Bubbles by Mescherpea

Simplicity always makes me happy. I love how you are drawn right into such a great photo. Title work is awesome too, and I love how she used the BG paper.

Atlanta by Christina W

I love the combo of great photos, simple design, and storytelling. Im drawn right into the photos, and the simple pops of colour work amazing.

And Daily stories by Katie Pertiet!

Not just a fab designer, also a scrapper of awesomeness too! Love her take on a daily format, all that’s missing is a cup of tea to read it with 🙂

That’s it from me today guys! I’m off to take my girl to her first ever circus! Hope you enjoyed today’s picks, make sure to leave some love for these talented scrappers!

Hiya!! Tracy here 🙂
Firstly, Happy Valentines day to those who celebrate!
We don’t celebrate it here in New Zealand really, but I’ll happily eat any chocolates given to me! hehe.

 

First up,  is Let Love Guide, by Cristina 

I love the pop of colour on an otherwise neutral page. And that hand-painted strip of awesome down the side is fab!

 

On wow loving this one too, Memories by Arte Banale

I love the way the circle draws your eye in, and that subtle newsprint with the floral goodies, is perfect.

Now this is so different! A by Sheana 

Id love to try this as a title page, love the monochrome look shes done, and all the wee things under the stitching. Very clever use of colour.

 

 

And since it’s V day, maybe one themed one? lol Ah-maze-ing by  Shunnstergirl

So cute, love the side clusters and the fab title and brushwork.

 

Check out Tulip by sucali

I really love the strips, and shadowing on this page. I really want to get my shadows to look this good!

 

Last for me today, is Happy by Barbara Houston

The name says it all really! So much action for a still photo. Love the colours, that title is gorgeous, the random paints. Love it all 🙂

 

Well, that’s my picks for the day! I hope you enjoyed and had fun oggling the pretties, enjoy your day! Leave the artists a bit of love if you liked as much as I did 🙂

Morning scrappers! Tracy here 🙂

Had a lovely visit with my Mum this morning after a nice long holiday weekend. Now I’m sitting back, and enjoying some amazing inspiration in the galleries today.

My mojo is seriously lacking these days, so its a real pleasure to have a peek around and see what other people are up to. My scraplift folder is getting bigger and bigger!

 

First up is this one by threadjungle. Im a sucker for interresting and unique title work, and this totally nails it!

 

 

Love this double page one, by lynnpremo.  All that delicious texture, and she makes double pages look so seamless and *arty*. Love it!

 

This one by Biancka speaks to me…. anything with cocktails in and Im sold! I love all the flowers, and the festive feel of the page, while not being too busy and keeping the focal on that gorgeous colourful photo.

 

Check. This. Out!  Stunning page by bdraper. Super busy paper, but flows with the photo and embellishments perfectly, complimenting and not competing. Gorgeous.

 

Wow love this one by cherrygutz. I love all the cluster and shadow work and the whole composition is awesome.

 

Last for today, is this page by weaselwatchr jumped right out from the gallery. I’m a sucker for stripes and yellow, and put them together and it works awesome! LOVE that title work.

 

 

Well guys, that’s it for me this sunny summer day! Hope you enjoy my picks, make sure you leave some love!

Hello!
Tracy here 🙂  Wow its so hot here in little ole New Zealand at the moment, it’s a real treat to take some time out, look at the gorgeous eye candy, right next to a huge fan blowing the breeze-of-awesome my way lol. Hope you enjoy my picks!!

I Wish by Thuria

I love the vibe of this, that amazing texture in the paper, the way the eye is drawn right to that cute photo. All those doodles make it seem almost hand made.
So much to look at!

 

The Story – Setting My Goals by Delisak

I love the composition of this.  And that gorgeous soft colour combo.

I always plan to document my plans and goals but I know I never do them! lol So Im a little envious of people who do 🙂

New Years Eve – dvhoward

This one jumped right out at me. I love her shadowing,  the depth on that cluster is stunning.

Also love those pops of green that tie in with the photo, just an awesome page. (having the cutest puppy in there helps!! lol)

 

Found by Melanie Louette

This one I love, for two reasons. The total simplicity, is so hard to get right and this lady just nailed it. I also love the snippets of life in her page.  Thats one thing I want to do more of this year, document those wee slices of everyday life, that we forget as we get older. They make such great memory triggers in our old age!

 

Dear Future Me by Roxana

And carrying on with the snippets of life theme! Im loving this idea. It inspires me to do something similar in mine, maybe words of wisdom to old me, that might help my wee girl one day! I love how the text is semi-framed, and that awesome cluster of paint and flowers.  That little corner flower just pulls it all together.

 

 

My Personal Journal – by Tachita

I saved this for last. I really think this simple white page vibe is the hardest to do well. I love that its another everyday page, and of course all that lovely colour. I really love the cluster on the left hand side, and that the colours are simple, go together well, and dont make you struggle with the colourful photo.  (and Im a tad envious of that awesome colouring book lol)

 

Thanks for looking at my picks for today! Hope they inspired you as much as they did me 🙂

Make sure to leave some love in the galleries!
Tracy
