Thumbs up Show Us Your Favorites!! (10/19/09)

THE FAVORITES THREAD IS FOR LAYOUTS POSTED LAST WEEK. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE PAGES POSTED AFTER SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18TH.


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.

This week I am sharing this page by Denise Gormish. She created it for the Saturday Scraplift Challenge, and she did an amazing job. I especially love how she used the tiny orange flowers to accent the design.



I look forward to seeing YOUR favorites!!

Love this cute layout by Jana Morton...precious photos and the extractions and blending make this one a knockout!


And, this one by DavesGirl (sorry I don't know your name). Love this photo, the blending, the heartbrushes and the colors. It just comes together perfectly. P.S. Welcome to the gallery DavesGirl.

Love, love, love this one by Anna. She is truly the queen of blending. Love the photos of little Ella and the blended photo of her now.

There were lots of great additions to the Saturday Scraplift gallery this past weekend, but this one stood out to me for the great photo blended into the background and the heartfelt journaling! By "Blesus."

Well, this one is hard to find words for, but it's gorgeous, emotional and is created by a dear member here.
Aino's page is my favorite this week.

I think there is so much talent here at DD, so I couldn't make up my mind, I chose 3 layouts. I really loved this one by Anke, her design looks great and her daughter is pretty and looks so sweet with that little kitten:



And this one by Jana Morton is so cute:


I also found this one by Dawnee very creative:


Thanks for sharing ladies!

It's a Sarah (shhbabymine) bonanza this week. I just loved her layout about her daughter's little shoes. The photography, colors, and design are terrific:

Thank you Kerry!! You know that means a lot to me when you mention this page which is very special to me. I feel honored.

This one by Laura caught me eye right away - superb layering and yummy colors:



And of course this one by Katrina is already a classic page.... I loved the stunning photo and the story:

There were so many wonderful pages this week! One of my favorites was Joey's "Never let me go". Her photo is adorable and I love the colors and simple design she used.

Oh Jana, I am happy you mentioned those three pages - for some reason I loved them also and forgot to put them in my favorites folder. That has now been fixed.

Jana, thank you so much for the mention here. I deeply appreciate all your sweet comments.

Many of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I adored all the wonderful, bright colors and fun photos in Erica's LO, "Silly Faces". It just makes me smile from ear to ear!



I also enjoyed Aino's interpretation of the SI challenge, "Life Comes Fast". Love the rushing water off the photo!



Finally, donjing's "Berlin" was just so striking, so perfect.

Here are my "two" favorites this week as I couldn't narrow it down any further.

This one by nensike is just too cute for words. I LOVE the way she echoed the bricks in the photo into the frame on the side. So creative!


Then there is this one by mungerre. It is amazing with it's depth of elements. So well done!

Thank you Anke! It is such a happy experience to have a page mentioned here!

I added Anke's "Forever" to my favorites. It is shown above and this one by Fiona (Applechick). I love the tape holding the branch element to the page!

I loved this one by Marnie (JaneJetson). Initially I thought they were lovely macro shots of some sweet toys, but when I read the journaling I realised it was so much more, and a great insight into what must be a very difficult job!


And this one by MichelleL, just because I love the kraft, the template and the colors!

Thanks for mentioning my page Kelly!
Here's a page that I added to favorites by Erin (nicecreations). I love the beautiful black and white photo, the eye catching crop and the classy layout.

Julie,

Thank you so much for including my page. I didn't plan it as art therapy, but as a new empty-nester it ended up that way So, the honor of mention is all the more meaningful to me. Thank you!
