Thumbs up Show Us Your Favorites!! (08-09-10)

THE FAVORITES THREAD IS FOR LAYOUTS POSTED LAST WEEK. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE PAGES POSTED AFTER SUNDAY, AUGUST 8TH.


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 could look at this page by Fiona all day. I love the design, the story (since it ends happy), and the way she worked those title words. It's just full of eye candy! I love it!





I look forward to seeing YOUR favorites!!

I have two favourites from this past week. "Dreams" by echogirl. Is this just the most amazing photograph and the most perfect quote. I do hope you get it printed and framed, it's absolutely stunning.



And "the silly stuff" by Britgirl. It's fantastic, I love the journalling. This is just real life, and you know I reckon the girls will like these fun photos the best of all the photos you have taken with them throughout their lives.

We Aussies are all getting in first

I am so looking forward to joining Vicki on her trip of Alaska, aren't you? So kind of her to invite us


And I adore Terri (goingtothesun)'s hiking and travel pages. This one is no exception with the photo beautifully clipped to the Fotoblendz mask

I love pages that make me giggle and this one by Kelly (mugsbigsis) did just that. I love Kelly's creativity and sense of humor

I have a lot of favorites this week but I am going with these two amazing pages. This page by Carol is beautiful in so many ways...her journaling gave me goosebumps and I had to go back and reread it.


And this page by DFWest is absolutely stunning. I would love to have this on my wall!

Thanks so much, Kerry. :O)
I have two favorites this week, too. (Sorry, Cassie, I can't decide)
The pages by Carol for her husbands book are ALL fantastic, but I just LOVE how she miniaturized the elements on this one.


And this one by Melanie is fantastic! I LOVE the background she created around her photo.

The Art Journal challenge this week to create an image with brushes was a lot of fun. Maria (ExoGonia) created this wonderful Pomegranate which reminds me of a beautiful botanical print. Love the glittery glowing seeds.

Thank you Ang for mentioning my page.....a nice treat during my last week of school for the summer (taking a break from working on my final projects).

I loved this one by Phylis:

Angela, THANK YOU so much for mentioning my page here. I am thrilled it caught your eye! You are so kind!


I loved this page by Ellan with this gorgeous photo.................one of her many GORGEOUS photos she sharesd with us!



I also have to mention this page by Marnie of her two sons off to school on the bus. LOVED IT! I know the feeling of looking back at these moments when children are grown and so enjoyed her thoughts on this page and what she remembers.

THANK YOU so so much Lori for choosing my page to include here. It means so much!

The gallery seemed to be overflowing with amazing pages this past week! Here are 2 that I absolutely loved...

Sharon's (Shannamay) Characteristically was just so cute with that sweet picture of Claire. The design is also so lovely.

Carol, thank you so much for including my page. It's always such a thrill!
SO many fabulous pages.
This week I loved so many page.
This one by Debi was one of my early favs. Loved the pops of color and design. I hope her ankle sprain is better.



Carol's (oldabag165) heritage pages have totally intrigued me. Is it bad to say I really want her to post more pages. (and tell me Billy's secret!!)

Here's a page by Stephie Long I popped into my favs. First of all, I love when the Long family (Janet, Missy Baby and Stephie) challenge each other to do layouts at the same time on a theme or a scraplift of the same layout from the gallery. Second, I think the use of yellow with pink here makes this standout for fresh originality.

Since I'm trying to "catch up" in the gallery, I have a slew of favorites ... but I'll try to limit them to three, Cassie. ;-)

I'm sorry, but who could resist such utter cuteness as Ellie and this gorgeous LO of Kelly's? LOVE the papers and the shapes here! A dream of a design!



Another jewel is Esther's "A Man and his Bunny". I ADORE how the green background paper matches the walls in the background of the photo so beautifully, and how the gray of the coat and black of the rabbit pop so against the green. Just exquisite!



Last, but definitely not least, I am in awe of h-ryfa's AJ LO! She has mastered the technique so beautifully, and I LOVE the addition of the ScriptTease to the LO. Truly a work of art!

I added Melanie's "upside down" ... This page is wonderful in all of its details and just captures the moment so well. My favorite detail is the upside down journaling.

Who can resist one of Kathie's Buddy pages? I know I can't, and this one was as adorable as always. That Buddy is such a great model and such a deep thinker!

Thank you, Esther, for calling out my 3 Kits page - an amazing compliment, coming from such a talented lady! : )

Here was one I put in my faves this week: The Drive (Day One), part of a 2-page spread by Sarah (aka dugarner).
I loved how she used the reds, greens and blues together with the small photos to document different parts of a long car ride.
