analyzing the supply/technique addictions of others (beginning with patriciaz)

[Denise Gormish]

I noticed Pam (cedarhil) got skipped up there so I will do here. Skip over me as i was already done. Thanks Anke!

Pam has a wonderfully soft style. She likes to play with texture and black and white photographs. She experiments with creative angles for her photographs. Some of her favorite supplies seems to be word art and templates by Ali and Anna. A lovey combo for her unique style.

Now, do the person above me!

In reply to Janet's question about my screen name....
I have had that screen name since I was in college (probably should update it!)
when an athlete friend of mine gave me the nickname "champ"
Sarah Joy is my first and middle name. :-)

[Adryane]

Great idea for a thread Debbie!

I get to do Kathryn (kmartorina)!
Kathryn does wonderful guy pages. She likes to have an element cluster either in the
corner of her page or near her focal photo. She also likes tiny alphas like Katie's little
bit alpha. She has a beautiful gallery

[patriciaz]

LOL Well, what can I say??? That paper is the best thing in DDland, it should come with a warning notice!!
Thanks for noticing Debbie...and for making the whole world notice!!

I just checked Adryane gallery, it's beautiful!!! Her use of monograms is really cool, the way she embellish them is awesome: stitching, flowers, acrylics, brads, I love it!! This one it's a great exemple of her wonderful work.

I think Laura (LauraBean) got skipped along the way when several people were replying at once, so I just took a stroll through her gallery. I didn't see any one particular color that she uses, but she uses color very well in her layouts. Some layouts have one photo, and some have several. One thing I always notice on Laura's layouts is the spectacular nature photography. She gets the most wonderful shots of everything outdoors. And her strong faith comes shining through in her journaling.

[Aino]

Yes!! I have the honor to talk about Linda!!

I am writing superfast now!!!

Linda's gallery / where do I start?

Fantastic photos, colors, design and always with a classy edge that I envy and can not duplicate! It is a treat to go through her gallery and yes, we enjoy her tremendous presence here at DD and all her warm comments too.

[digigrandma]

Do you think I can type fast enough to rave about the fabulous gallery by Aino?

I always take note of what supplies Aino uses on her pages. Often, she turns me on to a special paper or element that I then work into my pages, too. Her pages are never ordinary.....I love her use of color.....the variety in her pages from the very introspective journal like pages to wonderful pages of her adorable kids. Recently, I was impressed with the little monkey sticker she added to a photo wrap so it looks like the monkey is climbing up the string. She adds birds and butterflies and stylized trees for whimsical touches to some pages....always innovative, always eye catching titles, too!

[Amy L]

Merr? I get Merr? Well, that's an easy one. She has great sense of design and a great sense of humor! She tells wonderful stories and inspires me to scrap not only my recent photos but older ones as well. I love her vintage pages. (And she is one of the best commenters around!!)

[MIDA78466]

Yea I get to review Amy! The first thing that crosses my mind when I think of Amy is that her most favorite subjects are her sons. I just love the photos--so every day-not posed type of photo. Then the journaling is just super--she tells the story so welll you feel like you are there.

She is great at one photo LO's and making them center stage but she also masters many photos on one LO without making it look cluttered. I noticed a lot of her LO's have the photos on a mat of some sort and most likely she uses a frame. she's not afraid of using many different types of papers--from a real tailored look, to a whimsical look, to down right grungy. She seems to master the look with whatever paper she is using.

Just love her LO's and getting a peek into her life.

[marnie]

Saw this fun thread at lunch, but couldn't post until now! Here's my analysis of Terry's scrapping art----First, in case you don't know, she's a totally dedicated Mom and has photographed and scrapped her son's entire football season (in between cheering and encouraging I'm sure!). The recurrent paper she used perfectly matched team uniforms/school colors--Naturally Krafty No2 Paper Pack (the pumpkin/orange-y color). She also included so many of her great sports photos using Katie's Bread and Butter Layered Template Set and finished pages with Worn or Distressed edges. She's versatile though--she can do soft, beautiful nature pages, sweet baby pages, or check out her most recent photo and page of the golfers taking a break! Talented and has a sense of humor!!

[Heidi2008]

Yeah, I love threads like these!
I get Marnie (aka-janejetson), if I can type fast enough
So Marnie's gallery is filled with amazing stories and great journaling. She is a master of multi-photo LO's and always has bright colours & pattern papers, that pull the colours from the photos displayed

[Myra]

I have Heidi! Heidi is the queen of creative borders on her pages. I'm thinking that is just one of her trademarks. I know she likes Anna's stitches too, and Katie's Roughed Up papers really fit into her style. I love the way she can tie multiple photos together to thread her story. There are always so many elements artistically pulled together, and those photos of little Lana just top it off! Just a treat in the gallery all the time Heidi! You're such a talent!

[justmp]

Myra's photography is AMAZING and she has a wonderful, clean design and adds just the perfect touch of elements to complete her page.

[donitab]

Ah, lovely Jodi - I always get inspiration from your work - you seem to love multi-foto projects (yeah, me too) and lately it seems like you have favored this product
MultiFoto Single Layered Template No. 27B Completer - Digital Scrapbooking.

You use lots of templates which means I will soon be digging in my template folder and using more of mine. (and maybe purchasing more - lol).

Blue seems to be your fav "go to" color, but you give golds and yellows their fare share of the fun.

Keep those great LO's coming our way!

[donna goar]

Looking through the wonderful gallery of "donitab" I noticed such creativity and versatility with both photos and elementss. She does gorgeous one photo pages, but also does a beautiful job with multi-photo layouts to tell the story. She has some clean line pages along with many others that focus on beuatiful brush work and still others that have a terrific grunge look. She does such a terrific job with her pages and her stories and while browsing I had to click a few more into my faves!!

[jesshunt]

Donna's gallery is all about blending - makes for such beautiful pages!! I see a lot of great title and word art use too....Love your work Donna and look forward to seeing more pages from you

[Kayleigh]

Oh Jess!! I love seeing her pages in the gallery as they are stunning & her cute kiddos are close in age to mine so I love seeing what they are up to. Jess is great at intergrating patterned papers into her pages & she is not afraid of colour. She adds a few embellishments to her pages to finish them off. She does like to mix of the alphas or fonts in her titles which I think is so cool. YOU ROCK JESS!

[iUma]

AH.... Kayleigh is the absolute MISTRESS of stitching, elements, soft colors, design excellence and beautiful children!! She has mastered the gift of clustering and grouping in ways that make her pages seems cozy and comforting, too. I study her often and dream of one day trying to lift one of her pages.

[KerryMac]

Yay! iUma
I've loved Patricia's pages since the first time I came across them. The way she has with words is very inspiring and I'd love to be able to express myself that way.
Patricia, your heritage page totally inspired me to start my own!
I love iUma's use of clipping masks, the variation in the subject matter of her photos, the way her color pallette is always spot on, and I adore her heartwarming photos of "the grandpeople" in her life.
Patricia also uses a lot of great brush work and ever since she's become a team member, her creativity has just blossomed!
One of my favorite people here

[Joey_M]

Whoohoo! I get Kerry!
Well, it's no secret that Kerry is a FABULOUS photographer! WOW!
Her heritage LOs are amazing, and I get a ton of inspiration from them!
Kerry, your ability to blend is fantastic! You have a great talent at letting your awesome photos shine while creating an amazing work of art using blending modes and brushes! You rock!

[angie wags]

It was such a treat to be able to look through Joey's gallery this morning. First of all, I think I'm going to send her all of my 365 pictures. I love the design she used for these pages. What a great look! Joey's photography is STUNNING! Seriously stunning! She has a gallery of beautiful LO's that draw your eye right to the fabulous shots they are highlighting. Love your style, Joey!!
