Thumbs up Show Us Your Favorites!! (02-22-10)

THE FAVORITES THREAD IS FOR LAYOUTS POSTED LAST WEEK. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE PAGES POSTED AFTER SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST.


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's chat event produced some seriously cool pages, and it was hard to pick a favorite. There were tons from my own 30MM chat, and I just couldn't pick one of those! I did find this page from the 1PM chat, though, and I just love its softness. I also love how Crystal used the negative sleeves. Beautiful, beautiful page!




I look forward to seeing YOUR favorites!!

As usual, the faves are many and awesome, but if I'm going to pick just one, I think this one by Ang is just striking. I love the photo in black and white, and her take on the challenge.

Two favourites made their way into my folder last week.

Friendship Interrupted by Jazzmatazz. The imagery that has been created with the friendship flittering off with the birds. My goodness, this is truly art.



And mugsbigsis What it Is. What a great use of all the letters. Kelly you have rocked it.

I have two favorites, and they were both part of our new challenges here at DD. The first is by casbury for the PageKraft Write True and Click challenge and is called Heart and Soulful Nester. Beautiful artistic flair and the journaling rocks:


Next is Kathie's Makes Me Smile for the All About Me Challenge. I love the fabulous grid of photos and her journaling:

This page by dugarner was so stunning with this collection of amazing black and white photos. I would love to frame this page and it hang it on a wall. Beautiful!

I love this page by Angie. It is just awesome and I am going to have to lift it someday, for sure! The colors are so rich and the elements are so much fun. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love! And her dd is just so beautiful!

I always love this thread. I have two that I want to share. The first one is Thankful by Carollee. I really like how she put this together with the heart shaped frames and enjoyed reading the journaling.


And, I loved BrittanyLane's AAM#3 Make Me Smile. This page is so lovely in its simplicity even though she used a lot of supplies, and I enjoyed reading this, too.


Have a wonderful week, everyone.

Sarah and Carol, Thank you! What a great way to start the week. :O)

Some of my faves have been mentioned already and I want to add this one by Brennie. It puts a HUGE grin on my face every time I see it. :O)

I think I could put every one of Shirley's (squeak) pages in my favorites folder. I love her creativity and sense of humor. I'm sure we could all do a page about the phrases we use over and over again, but hers is just so stinking original. And how cool is it that she made it look like a DD preview. She rocks!

Thanks, Sam, for mentioning my lo.
Several los I loved this week. Someone already listed Julie's AAM#1 lo and Laura's Green Love January. But I was shocked no one had yet mentioned this layout. Quiet Moments by ShhBabyMine (by the time I figure out this posting thing, someone will probably already pick it as their favorite. . .). Such a beautiful photo. I love the soft colors and simplicity of this layout.

Donna, thank you so much for mentioning my page! I love those pictures and couldn't figure out a way to showcase them on a page. I am happy with the result.

I haven't had much time in the gallery this past week, but I loved this page by Esther as soon as I saw it go up in the 30MM gallery.

Thanks, Amy, for including my LO in this week's faves.

I was drawn to Maria's (ExoGonia) page My Childhood from the AAM Challenge for two reasons: The delightfully fun colors and her very interesting journaling offering us a glimpse into a loving family full of rich tradition. Isn't DD great for being able to share our stories around the world?!

Oh Sarah!! Thanks so much!! I missed yours - it's amazing! There are so many fabulous LOs in this thread, I totally didn't expect to see my 30 min rushed piece in there! I was VERY naughty and joined in the chats between 6:45 am and 8:15 am. We had to leave at 8:30 to move my daughter to Melbourne!! Big day!
