Thumbs up Show Us Your Favorites!! (07/20/09)

THE FAVORITES THREAD IS FOR LAYOUTS POSTED LAST WEEK. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE PAGES POSTED AFTER SUNDAY, JULY 19TH.


Please show us pages that use DesignerDigitals products and provide a link (click here to learn more) . . . so we can see the details of the page in the gallery.

I liked the structure of this page by GoingtotheSun called "A Mother's Secret Hope." All that symmetry appeals to my senses. The sentiment is also wonderful and one that I'm sure is shared by all of us.



I look forward to seeing YOUR favorites!!

I was on vacation last week and missed tons in the gallery so I'm hoping that this thread will help catch me up.

THIS page (a Saturday Scraplift by Merrilee) is a new all time fave of mine. It just makes me happy looking at it.

Cassie - I look forward to this post every week so I can see what I might have missed in the galleries. But imagine my complete SHOCK when I saw you had selected one of my pages! What a compliment!

My faves for the week:
I love the wonderful quirkiness of Laura's (aka Sabine 2598) "What's on your Mind?" layout from the iTunes Challenge. So creative!
What's on your mind? iTunes - Digital Scrapbooking Ideas - DesignerDigitals



I also loved the beautiful white space (and the photo) in Tara's (aka teeleedee) "Daddy & Daughter" layout.

Loved the flow of consciousness style writing on Katrina's 30MM!



And Michelle's layout with the darling photo & wonderful layers & textures went into my faves too!

This page by Amy L is tops on my list from last week. I love the title and how it plays on the old song And I always enjoy her pages about her boys, anyway. This one just shines!

Kelly's (mugsbigsis) pages always blow me away, but I especially loved this one she did for the journaling challenge. I love the introspection, the way she blended earlier photos into the "now" photo, and the great shot of her:

So many good ones in the gallery again! Sorry i've missed commenting n so many of them!
Here are two of my favorite ones..
Merr is one amazing Grandmother. Love how she documents her GS's soccer lessons..the colors and design are perfect!



and I also love Laura's Back to my roots. Perfect subject, love the pop of color and cute photo of her!



and I would be in trouble with my Croatian ancestors if I di not give a nod to Heidi's gorgeous Dubrovnik photos! Love how she includes photos of her family in the LO!




Thanks for the inspiration ladies!

Thank you Angela! You are always so sweet and encouraging!

Here are two of the ones that ended up in my favorites folder the last week -

Laura's Unchartered Territory - for being wonderfully insightful, clever and nice colors. Pluss I also dig that kit!



I also enjoyed Donna's page on her son - not only is it wonderful with the blended photo, but the journaling along the side and what she has written even better - all together a wonderful, loving page that is also very classic.

Kerry, thank you oh so much! What an honor to be included here. And I have missed some fantastic layouts this week. This is such a fun thread to read!

This page by ethereal elle is just adorable. I am including a link so you can read the great journaling: Why must you always play with the cat food? - Digital Scrapbooking Ideas - DesignerDigitals

Oh, boy, Kelly and Doris, you made my day! Thank you very much!

I love how the Long family challenge each other. Here's Stephie Long's version for their latest challenge. I think it's got a unique look and wonderful weather photography.

Nature's Fireworks by Stephie Long


Thanks to all of you who add to this thread. I think we all find that we miss layouts we'd like to see.

Thanks for mentioning my LO Angela. It made my day--such a bright spot for a yucky Monday at work.

I loved this LO by Kerry. The photo is just awesome. The white title work just jumps off the page.

I do love seeing this thread and thank you Susie for liking my page, it means a lot.

A couple of my favourites have already been shown : "U" by katrinak and "36" by Aino.

But the other favourite I popped away this week was "G and Pa-Paw" by Jess Hunt. Such an amazingly incredible and precious photograph and superbly scrapped, the colours are perfect, the journalling, absolutely everything. Congratulations Jess for a beautiful piece of work.

Linda keeps coming up with fantastic European vacation layouts. Hotel des Invaldes is no exception.



And I am loving all the Simply Inspired layouts. I've been on vacation so I'll have to tackle this one soon. Here's a great one by Mary, Me and Hockey.

Jannet, it's amazing what a person misses when she doesn't check the gallery regularly.
Thank you so much for mentioning my layout. It's such an honor, especially from you, I love your LO's. It was a surprise too, to see that many members liked this photo of my DH, a photo I thought twice to put or not in my layout. Very soon I will add my explanation, only give me some time, it's difficult to write my thoughts into English.
