Gallery Standouts for Sept 12th, 2023

And then suddenly in a blink of an eye it was September! Just last week it was in the high 90’s and even the 100’s here in Wisconsin! and now it seems that fall is here as we are experincing 60 degree days this week. So odd how that works! Yet I am welcoming the fall weather. I am looking forward to pulling out my jeans, boots and comfy sweaters.. and not to mention hoodies! Can’t wait to snuggle the dog on the couch under a warm blanket and sip on apple cider! I love the colors of fall here in my state. The bluffs are so beautiful! And my dog, Neelix, can’t get enough of the falling leaf buffet that mother nature provides for him!

My first find of the night comes from the Lilypad

I can by Roxana

I Can

I have been a long time stalker of Roxana’s work! everything she does is eye catching and down right amazing! (if you haven’t seen her gallery you should!). This one is no exception! I love her extraction here and how it sits upon the pencil so nicely and the colors used here! It is just so nicely done! And the stamp work… and stitching…There isn’t anything about this page that I don’t love!

 

For my next page I was searching the gallery at the Sweet Shoppe for inspriation when I stumbled upon this layout and just gasped!

Love This by Txcorey

Love This left

First of all that face! Can it be any cuter? I think not! and second of all the rich colors! I have to say the colors in a kit is what makes me buy it about 75% of the time. (the rest is the theme) And this kit is screaming buy me .. buy me ! to me! but than again I love a lot of Kristin Cronin Barrow’s kits.. she always has the most beautiful patterns and colors in all her kits! Anyways! I love the clusters the scrapper did on this page around the adorable cutie pie!

Next I made a little trip over to Pickle Berry Pop. Here I found this beauty

Tropicana by tizote59

Tropicana

I loved the photo of the sweet little girl making a goofy face! Life is too short not to be silly sometimes right? And I just love sunglasses photos! I loved the scrapper’s sweet clusters and how she scrapped in circle shapes! such a well done layout!

 

Last I traveled to Ginger Scraps. This is where I found my last layout for the night

Down Memory Lane by zanthia

Down Memory Lane

I loved the deep fall colors of this layout and the layering of patterned papers on top! The beautiful floral clusters framing the photo were a nice touch as well! and such a romantic beautiful photo! Just screams fall!

Well I hope everyone has a  great rest of their weeks! Keep filling those galleries with beautiful pages! I will see you later on this month! Kari signing out for now! Tata!!

Gallery Standouts June 22nd, 2022

Good Afternoon everyone!  Kari here! I hope it is a lot cooler where you all are than it is where I am at here in Wisconsin! the last few days it is has been unbearable in the high 90’s and I am literally sweating in places where sweat should not be! Very uncomfortable to say the least! Sticky icky ewww! as my son would put it! My poor service dog, Neelix, has been laying in front of the fan with his belly up in the air so the cool breeze will blow upon it cooling him off a bit! I am praying for cooler nights in the forecast later this week!

It has been a crazy month this month in our family, and I can not believe June has seemed to just fly by! Has it seemed like that to anyone else? In the past few weeks, the kids have finished up school for the year, started summer vacation, started summer school, gotten summer jobs, I turned OMG… 40!!…. my fiancee hit a Kamikaze crazed deer on the highway the other night who almost tried to kill him! (totaled the front of his new mustang..but that’s a story for another day)… and so much more!

Well enough rambling on from me. Onto the good stuff right? I had a blast searching the galleries tonight from some good old scrap inspration and came across some goodies for you all to enjoy, So here are my picks ,

The first one comes from one of my favorite all time galleries,  The Lily Pad.

Vintage Flowers by JenEm

I love the soft colors here in Jen’s beautiful cluster! and the butterfly is a simple but feminine touch! And all those paper strips are just brillentley done!

 

My second layout of the night comes from one of my all time scrap ideal’s Miss Trish.

It’s In a Book By MommaTrish

 

Trish is always so creative and this one is no different! Everything from the title to the design of this page grabbed my attention and drew me in! I have loved watching her adorable kids grow up over the years and I FREAKING LOVE the doodles and title work on this page! it is truly a work of art.

 

My third choice tonight is that of a designer from Pickle Berry Pop. I just love it when designers use products to create pages as well.

 

I love her use of blending here and the vertical design! The beautiful flowers give it that garden feel as well! and the title at an angle is a great touch.

My last one of the night tonight comes from the first gallery I really got into when I first started digital scrapbooking, Gingerscraps. I choose a person who is newer to digital scrapbooking as we all got to start somewhere! so welcome to the hobby! I hope you find the community welcoming!

 

I loved the photo of the cute little baby! and her design here! the off set framing is something I use often!and the colors were pretty as well!

 

Have a great night everyone! stay cool! Until next time! Enjoy searching those galleries !! and remember to leave comments to those who inspire you!

 

Kari signing off!

Gallery Standouts April 26th

Good afternoon everyone! Kari here,. I can not believe that we are almost done with April already! This year is going by quicker than I can blink. My son turns 16 in a few days and we are preparing for his birthday. It has been kinda a busy week. On top of that I found out I may be a grandma later this year! And I have been going to Physical Therapy and OT for my hand injury I received in Oct at work. (I was given a mighty electric shock!),

I hope you all are keeping busy and staying happy.

It is still very much winter here in Wisconsin. We get a few tastes of spring here and there, but mother nature always reminds us that we live in the Midwest and winter can last 6 months or more! *L* But I am impatiently waiting the spring flowers and warm weather to appear.

This first layout reminds me that spring is coming sooner or later. I love the use of the flower cluster on one side of the page and the soft pastels. I am also a huge fan of starburst papers. They just seem to draw in the eye!

Grow and Bloom by pjm117

This second layout I found in the Lilypad gallery and it just made me happy. Rainbows are all the craze now days and I love the double rainbow elements and the stacking of the rainbow background as well.

Hi by MishSpar

For the next layout I made my way over to the Sweet Shoppe, where I found this beauty.

One Year by Jaye

I am in love with the design here, the colors and the crown! Such a well done layout design,

My last and final layout for today is that of

Friends Forever by Bright Eyes

I found this stunner at Pickle Berry Pop. If you know me, you know I am a huge dog lover. The cute poochie on this page drew me right  in! I believe everyone needs a good fur-friend!

 

That is all for today folks! I hope these layouts gave you a little bit of scrap inspriation. Until next time, scrap happy and stay safe!
