Gallery Pick

 

How much fun is this page by Deb W in our gallery the second thing that caught my eye after that gorgeous photo was that splat on the bottom of the page- such a whimsical addition. I also like Deb's Column design which is a great one to use when scrapping one photo. Thanks for sharing this cutie in our gallery Deb.

2nd Monthly Challenge ~ Scraplift yourself!

I made the page above recently using the October Afternoon Silent Night Range- (in store soon).The Diagonal line across the page is not a design I would normally use. But I did like the way this page turned out so I wanted to have a play with the design on another page.

As you can see I have turned the design 90 degrees and changed up the location of the title I think I like this one better than the first. I enjoyed scrapbooking this way because it came together fast as most of the design choices were already made for me.

So my challenge to you is to take a page you've done before and scraplift (copy) some or all of the elements of your design. 

Supplies used: Bazzill Basics Cardstock, Simple Stories Heart: Forever in my heart, Elements 2, Cardstock Stickers, Washi Tape, Kaiser Mist: Yellow, Alphas: Thickers, and Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type.

DT Quick Share: Car Seat Evolution

Last month I did Karen's great challenge for July just before the deadline and then promptly forgot to add it to our gallery so I thought I'd share it here. I love making pages like this that show the passage of time and growth.

Supplies used: Bazzill Basics Cardstock,  Cocoa Vanilla Totally Rad Top Gear and Enamel Shapes,  Echo Park Everyday Eclectic Stickers, Alphas: Thickers, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type, and Washi Tape

Gallery Pick

 

My pick of the week from the Gallery is this layout by member Jazik. It's appears to be simple page but there's lots of little details. I love the use of two different size images- they are fairly similar so the size gives them a nice contrast. The little clusters of flowers are so pretty. And the use of thread hints at the parade in the background. I love the book paper and the frame and the way the colour photos pop from the black and white background. Thanks for sharing this with us Jazikt.

Donna is away this weekend sharing a lovely girls weekend with her Mum and sister- so I thought I might sneak in here and share a couple of stunning layouts that she's shared in the Mystical Gallery over the last month or so...

I loved this LO for the way that the colours pop off the black background. She's also used a lot of while and light pink here which has helped to not let the black swallow-up her photo and elements. The line of flowers sprinkled across the page draws your focus to the photo. Putting the word Ballet from the title on it's own on the black also draws attention to some important information about this memory that we can't tell from the photo.

Donna has once again gone for a black background for this LO using a large photo to help balance the visual weight. While also using lighter patterned papers again for the same reason. I love the choice she made of pink and blue as a subtle nod to the boy/girl friendship in the picture. Once again she's used flowers beautifully making choices that give the feeling of happiness without being too girly.

Great LO's Donna! It's always great to see your art works in the gallery.
