Thumbs up Show Us Your Favorites!! (02-08-10)

THE FAVORITES THREAD IS FOR LAYOUTS POSTED LAST WEEK. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE PAGES POSTED AFTER SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH.


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 weekend during my 30MM Challenge chat, the rules confined participants to creating some pretty "clean" pages. There were so many great ones, that my favorites folder filled up pretty quickly. This one stuck out for me, though. I just loved the way KerryMac combined her great photos and the frame here. It's a very effective technique!




I look forward to seeing YOUR favorites!!

I just love this art journal page by Merrilee (Digigrandma). Every single element worls cohesively to the whole - besides which, it is just so beautiful!

Oh, and I have to post this one by Sam? (Muddygirl). I mean you really can't go wrong with a stellar photo to start with - and this one is just wonderful - but the whole page is stunning IMO!!

I'm going to post in here before my favourites get snapped up LOL.

Amy L's "What they taught me" - what a fabulous page, love everything about this, the cut out of Amy, the little snippets regarding her siblings and parents. Great page Amy.



"Air Guitar" by Anxela. The picture had me LOL'ing right from the start, love the journalling, love how it's put together. It's a great fun all round piece. And all those clocks look brilliant.

Thank you so much Sharon. I'm always surprised to find one of my pages here.

Carol, thank you so much!

I liked several of Jana Morton's pages this week, but I think this was my favorite. So impressed with the extractions and shadow work, and there's such joy in this page.

Wow, thanks, Carol! I was so surprised, but I love, love, love being posted in this thread!

I'll have to post one more page by Jana, this one was beautiful in every single way.


This one by Myra also blew me away with its gorgeous photos and equally gorgeous design:

Oh! Cassie, thank you I'm jumping out of my skin over here. What a fun honor to wake up to!

Everyone is making the coolest pages these days, what with the great challenges from the team and all. And I just loved this one from Kelly for the Art Journal challenge; I adore Shel Silverstein and Kelly's colorful, whimsical page is the perfect accompaniment.

Thank you, Sharon and Susie! It's an honor to be included in this thread.

I am fascinated with this page by Barbara (aka Serenoa) because she scanned memorabilia from her earliest years and artfully arranged the images on this great AAM page. Could it be that her page reminded me of my own earliest years? Well done, Barbara!

Thank you so much, Jen! I was very excited to see my LO in here.

I loved this sweet LO of Heidi's, My Beautiful Girl. The colors are beautiful, I love how she did the journaling, and where she placed the hinges.

I love this amazing page by dfwest (sorry, don't know your name). The reflection in the wine glass is so cool, but her journaling sealed the deal for me.

I loved this page of Carol's. It's part of her Husband's book. Using all the tags was really cool and adding the information about his year of birth really gives context to the book.

Merilee, thanks so much for mentioning my layout and for your very kind comments. It was such a nice surprise!

I really liked the layout by Amson of Mandalay. It is so beautiful and serene.

Thank you Donna for posting my page. It is very special to me.
My favorite page is the one that finally allowed me to scrap the photo of my grandparents.
