Some fantastic pages in the galleries again, I couldn't pull myself out of there. But since I have to do this post today LOL, here are my picks

Bozos by theSassyScrapper

Other than that I LOVE the display of these photos, the typography is just awesome!

RAK for Magda_lena by Maja

This page popped out in the gallery with it's simple clustering and composition. It has such a magical glow too it!

"home" tri-fold card by justJess

Just the other night I went through my own crafty projects from a long time ago, I found a pop-up card like this. I'm really loving the 'homey' feel of this card, the houses, the birds, just adorable!

Secret by Nataliya Zima

Fantastic layering and blending here, she also rocked the monochromatic green all over!

Soar by Jassie

The photos really stand out against the blue! Wonderful composition too!

Sunshine by scrappydonna

Fun and cute, the masked houndstooth paper ties the whole composition together!

Full of Beauty by melody

Simple and stunning, and very eye-catching with the strong colors!

Family Uncensored by bho

The little tidbits of sayings all over the background, the graphic lines and the pops of red to accentuate, this layout is just awesome!

...lavender story... by Magda_lena

Superb lighting and shadow work, I also love the treatment of the photos. I just want to reach out and touch the elements. Fantastic!

Hello Ladies! I am so sorry I am late today. We had a garage sale today...had to clean the studio out. I swear our props breed at night! LOL! So, I am relaxing now after a long day with a margarita and cruising the galleries. Here is what I found.....

Hello all, Krista here.  Its time for me to wind down for the night, the kids are in bed.  (and just breathe)  Why is it that some days my favorite part ends up being when they are in bed.  HAHA!!  At least now I get to cozy in my chair and do some web searching!  Wait till you see what I found today!

 

Such a sweet layout, I love all of the bright colors and action going on in this.  Yet, the focal point is still on the photos.  Beautiful vintage processing.

my lil book lover by cayla73

 

Look at those two sweet children!!  Such neat brother and sister photographs.  I love the soft, gentle feel to this layout.  So calm feeling.

believe (in yourself) by 1girl1boy

 

I LOVE the vibrancy here.  It just POPed out in the galleris.  The gorgoeus flowerwork!!

This.Is.Me by SeattleSheri

 

Such a simple design, but such stunning results.  I LOVE this... I've never thought to look from this angle.  I MUST try this!

1 + 1 = 3 by donjing

 

Everything here works so beautifully together.  The colors, the photo processing, the girlish spunk!

{turning four} by Sheri Mae

 

WOW!!  Love this, it has a hodgepodge feel where everything is out of place, but isn't.  Gorgeous designwork!

So clever to divide the page into quadrants, the photos, elements, journaling and titlework. Love the beautiful sea feeling, I can almost feel the breeze of the wind.

FIRST TIME BY THE SEA by Steffi [two cute wishes]

 

YUM!  I love this...such delicate details!  And the angled crop is so perfect!

Good morning!  I have 4 days until school starts, I can't believe how fast summer went!  Here are your picks for Wednesday:

 

Gabi's the challenges of today  I love the composition here, great photography, and enough details to add visual interest.

 

GeVisacri's Depeche Mode  I love how urban and grungy this feels.  The title work is fabulous!

 

hoo-rah's Silly Toadstool  This is such a fun layout!  I love the magnified image of the toadstool under the magnifying glass as well as the clever journaling.

 

Karen Perry's All Boy  Beautifully subtle, I love the crop on the photo and the fabulous details.

 

Luciana Orikassa's Unique  Clean and simple, the focus is totally on the gorgeous photo.  I love the use of dotted shapes as a frame that softens any hard edges.

 

Mabel's Art?  Gorgeous art journal style page.  I think we've all pondered this question as well.

 

Meghan's Grouch...  How clever is this titlework?  I love the whimsical touch of adding the eyes to the letter O.

 

nikkiARNGwife's Right Now  I love these types of layouts and it reminds me I need to do them more often.  Things change so quickly!  I love the circle concept and how easy it is to read and match up the photos to the journaling.

 

star74's Journey I love the mix of old and new photos along a time line.  Plus it's a gorgeous page. Fabulous job.

Today was a big day at my house. My baby turned FOUR, which truly seems impossible, but kids have a way of growing up quickly even when moms might wish it otherwise! The birthday princess came down from her present and frosting induced craziness and is now sleeping soundly, so I managed to sneak in some gallery time for you tonight.

August, already? by valeriapiemonte
Marvelous! I love the layering and details...plus, I complelety agree that it can't be August already! The whole layout is so whimsical and fun.

 

Playing by Diamndprincz
Darling photo and brilliant clean composition! The little pops of color on the grey paper along with the patterned pieces are well done also.

 

Tanner Loves by Starlite9711
The bold titlework and clever listing of her son's favorites are super. I love the cool pic that inspired the layout's color palette too.

 

La Vie by Scrappie Irene
Yummy, luscious vintage details! The shadowing is perfect too. Honestly, it makes me want to get on the next plane to Paris!

 

Framed by chengie
I love the new trend of little doodle frames. Paired with the white background and pretty pictures, it makes for a truly stunning page.

 

You Came by Steffi
LOVE the photos, the composition and all of the element work. The addition of the lyrics is creative and does a great job of framing the page.

 

sandy toes by Dana
I'll admit that I am sucker for cute piggies, but the post-processing and crop here makes the pic extra special. The colors and scattered use of patterns throughout the page are delish. Great work!

 

good guy gone bad by Linz
This is so, so CUTE! The multiple photos that tell the story, along with the journaling, are hilarious and fun. The over-the-top element work is simply perfect. Super page!

 

gigi by wvasweetness
I adore the soft, tender feel here, from the photo processing to the soft colors. The journaling is just as sweet and very meaningful. Beautiful work!

 

That's all from me tonight. I'll see you here next Tuesday. In the mean time, have a great week!
