Me in 1968

I  have to wish you a good afternoon today - my day is kind of "upside down," so I'm very late in getting this entry posted!

Here is a beautiful layout done by Tant Eva using Embroidered Dreams - it's called Me in 1968:

The title says it all as far as who this little dumpling is - what an adorable baby you were, Eva!  And the layout she has created is the perfect setting for these beautiful eyes to look out of!  She's used the flowered overlay border that I absolutely love from the add-on for this kit - I think it gives the layout a very happy and festive appearance.  Eva's clustering is always amazing, and it certainly is amazing here - I really like the string elements she has sticking out at the top and right edges of the cluster.  Great job Eva, thank you for sharing this with us!


There are several add-ons in this line, including the main kit, solid papers and overlay (and that overlay is TO DIE FOR!), and the embellished alpha.  You can get them separately, or also in a bundle - see them all here:

Okay, back to the rest of your day, hopefully I'll see you earlier tomorrow!

Flight of the Blue Heron

Good morning, and Happy Monday!  Hope you had some great scrapping time this weekend!

Let's look at another layout with Embroidered Dreams today, this one by Sage Diva, called Flight of the Blue Heron:

I'm not so good at evaluating graphic design, but whatever she did here, my eyes first fall directly onto Sage Diva's amazing photos!  What a majestic thing she's portrayed here for sure!  Then my eye moves to the left, with the way she's done her edging papers, as well as the cluster, loving that for sure.  Then the mat and the little cluster between the photos is such a nice touch to both separate the pictures and tie them together at the same time.  And isn't that background paper awesome?  Everything in this layout works hand-in-hand to create a layout that is just wonderful!

K

Hi!  Well, I'm hoping that everyone got to shop Silvia's Winter Sale already, but if you didn't, it's still going on - check the post just below this one - it's a great sale!

Today we are going to see a layout done by Sage Diva called K, and it's done with Silvia's Embroidered Dreams collection:

My first impression upon seeing this layout is a feeling of cool peacefulness.  The colors of this kit are so beautiful and are perfect for bringing about that feeling.  Now Kristen has used it in her wonderful artistic fashion to create a memory that will be a real treasure for a long time to come!  I love how she's placed the picture.  I always love background papers layered like this, and the way she's used the ribbons in a perfect horizontal line intersecting the edge layers brings a sense of order.  I love the way she's made her picture black and white, that blends so perfectly with the kit colors.  And look at that alpha K!  This is right out of the box from Silvia, already embellished like that - I love this alpha!

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that Kristen's layout was placed in Gallery Standouts, a well-deserved honor!

There are several add-ons in this line, including the main kit, solid papers and overlay (and that overlay is TO DIE FOR!), and the embellished alpha.  You can get them separately, or also in a bundle - see them all here:

Serenade

Happy Tuesday scrapping friends!  Today we are going to look at a layout using Silver Serenade - this one is by Jean Ann and is called Serenade:

I'm really liking the black and white photo with the color palette of this kit - it makes the photo stand out so nicely.  I like how Jean Ann has angled the background paper too.  But  my favorite part of this layout is that she has used my absolute favorite elements in this kit, the sparkly treble clef and music notes!  In fact, this very instant as I'm writing, I can see in my mind's eye a picture of mine that would look great scrapped with the kit and these sparkly notes - now all I have to do is go find the picture, LOL!

Portrait of Lily

Happy Monday!  Hope your week is starting off in a wonderful fashion! Today we are going to look at a layout that was created using Silvia's new Silver Serenade kit - it's called Portrait of Lily, by Glitter Queen:

I do believe Glitter Queen has done a magnificent job of showing off all the best parts of Silver Serenade, along with showcasing her picture with style and class.  I really like the dark paper mat around the edge of the layout, and I really like the white  mat she's used under the photo and cluster.  Of course the cluster is amazing, and I think it's really cool how she has the one loop of ribbon just touching Lily's face.  And doesn't Lily look beautiful here? Quite the growing young lady for sure!

Passion Flower

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope your weekend shapes up to be fun and relaxing, whatever activities you get to do!

Today we are going to look at a layout done with one of Silvia's kits from last year.  It's done using her So Pretty kit, and it's called Passion Flower by Terry F:

So Pretty is one of my favorites of Silvia's kits.  I love the color palette of greens, tans and blacks - the colors are very versatile together, as you can see in Terry's layout.  She's showcased her purple flowers beautifully with this amazing cluster that uses some of the many beautiful elements Silvia has given us in So Pretty.  The frame is wonderful for multiple pictures, and I love how she's used the paper swirl to wrap around the corner of the frame.  The green background paper peeking out from behind the black really ties things together in this special layout.  Great job Terry!

Swan Lake

Good morning!  Today I finally get to show you a layout from Silvia's gorgeous new kit, Silver Serenade! This one is by Sage Diva, called Swan Lake:

This kit is the perfect showcase for Kristen's pictures!  I love this sort of angling on background papers, I think that adds much interest to a layout.  I love how she's used the stamped elements behind her pictures - that really gives it a 3-dimensional feel.  And the small flower clusters are the perfect touch as well.  Did you notice how this little sweet girl's buttons exactly match the color of the swan's bill?  I wonder if that was planned? Oh, and by the way, this layout won Layout of the Day at Gotta Pixel - a well-deserved honor!  Congratulations Kristen, and thanks for sharing this wonderful treasure with us!

The Twins

Hi everyone!  I am waaayyy lazy today, can't believe it's taken me this long to get to the blog post, with no good excuses...let's see, maybe my dog ate my computer? LOL!  I think, though, that by being lazy, I am getting to share a brand new, hot-off-the-press, just-posted layout from Jean Ann, using Circle of Life, and called Twins:

The colors in this layout just work beautifully with the photo, don't you think?  I love the way Jean Ann has layered the lacy trims down the left side to match the angle of her picture, that's a really effective technique.  She also makes great use of the great date wheel that Silvia has given us to work with in Circle of Life, along with a few clustered elements at the top of the wheel.  Darling picture of twins rounds this out into a layout that will be a lasting treasure.

Alexander

Hello scrapping friends!  Today we are going to look at a layout done by Tant Eva called Alexander.  Eva has drawn from three different products of Silvia's to create this wonderful layout:

Isn't the white space in this layout wonderful?  Especially since she has bordered it with the lovely sparkly border.  The cluster is just terrific, Eva is such a great cluster-maker, in my opinion!  All the blues in the layout really bring out Alexander's sparkly blue eyes.  And the little red butterfly is just a perfect touch, breaking up all the blues and adding a special zing of color. I have loved this layout since she first posted it, and I think you can see the reasons why!

As I said, Eva has used three products:  Circle of Life, Black Tie Collection, and Winter Glitz Series. Here you can find the links to all of these products:

Shine

Good morning - those of us in the US are celebrating Martin Luther King Day today, so maybe you're getting some extra time to scrap? Hope so!

Today we are again turning to Circle of Life - this is a layout by Glitter Queen, called Shine:

First off, I always enjoy looking at Glitter Queen's layouts as she follows the life of her sweet Lily - I feel like I'm getting to watch her grow up, even though I don't know her.  She has done something special here - she's created a layout with amazing visual appeal, and still had a spot to add in a large block of journaling, something that often doesn't happen - and for my own layouts, journaling is a must-have, so I love to see where other layout artists have done that so skillfully as Glitter Queen has here.  Her photo of Miss Lily is so pretty and really commands attention.  The way she's clustered her elements and layered her paper strips is such a treat to look at - she's used so many of the beautiful papers and elements from Circle of Life here that it is easy to get a true feel of the scope of Silvia's kit.  I think her use of the striped paper strip really sets off the cluster in a great way.  What a fantastic layout, Glitter Queen, thanks for sharing it with us!

My Prize Rose

Hello scrapping friends!  Well, today's your lucky day, despite what superstition might say about the date on the calendar page - we get to see another artistic creation from Silvia's latest kit, Circle of Life!  This is called My Prize Rose and is by sagediva:

Kristen has chosen mostly the deep, rich reds from this kit, as well as lovely gold accents behind the picture.  This layout definitely gives me a "paper" feel like I could reach out and touch it, especially that heart in the upper right corner of the picture.  The buttons in the upper left corner are a great element as well, they provide the perfect anchoring for her second layer of paper.  I love the date wheel in the bottom right corner too, I think that element brings a special touch to the layout.  But I'd be remiss if I forgot to mention - her PHOTO!  My eye is instantly drawn to the intense eyes of this precious beauty - it makes me wonder if her name is actually Rose?  For me, the adorable picture combined with the papers and elements bring about a very classy creation by Kristen, and I know she's going to enjoy this for years to come!

My Beautiful Mother

Hello!  Hope this Thursday finds you enjoying life to the fullest!  Today I'm going to show you a layout by kaybkay called My Beautiful Mother, done with Silvia's A Vintage Delight kit:

A Vintage Delight is definitely a timeless kit, one you'll go back to over and over again, and Kay has shown that so well.  I really  like the background paper and how its straight lines contrast with the angled ones of the frames Kay has chosen - really makes them stand out wonderfully.  I like how the bottom picture is tucked into the ribbon, and I love the way she's shadowed her butterflies.  In her description of the layout, she says her mother described herself as being "just ordinary" when she was growing up, but she looks beautiful in these pictures to me as well.  There's a good lesson for all of us when we are reluctant to have our picture taken or scrap about ourselves - down the line somewhere, someone is going to be soooo thrilled to see you, even more so if it's a page you scrapped with A Vintage Delight!

St. Kitts At Dusk

Good morning!  In going through the gallery today, I found this layout spoke perfectly to how I'm feeling - wouldn't you all love a nice getaway to somewhere that would be a slice of paradise? Well, check out this stunning layout by Sage Diva - it's called St. Kitts at Dusk and uses Silvia's In The Gloaming kit:

The definition of "gloaming" is twilight - and the colors that Sage Diva has used in her layout are a perfect reflection of the twilight in her photos.  I love how the coral color of the roses is echoed in the clouds above the town, and how the gold ribbon plucks out the sunset sky...and the blue ribbon and bracket show us that day is not quite gone yet, but night is only moments away.  Sage Diva has done such a masterful job of showcasing In The Gloaming, she deserves a round of applause!

Good morning, and a happy Monday to you!  Our second full week of 2012, I hope it finds you all with happiness in your hearts and lots of scrapping in your fingers.

Terry F has done a beautiful layout using Silvia's Circle of Life kit that is so touching:

The way Terry has placed the picture really draws my eye right in to her layout.  Her clustering is fabulous - the colors in this kit are so rich, and when they are set off with the gold accents, it gives her layout an elegant feel.  I love the quote she's used, and I love the background paper and its gold edging. She has definitely created a layout to treasure!

Hi everyone - can't say good morning because it's afternoon in Silvia's world - I got so wrapped up in taking time off that I forgot to start back to blogging today, LOL!

Have you seen Silvia's Circle of Life kit yet?  Oh my goodness, this is a real stunner!  Look at this layout that kay b kay has done with it, called Sarah's Gift:

The color palette that Silvia has used for Circle of Life is just breathtaking, and Kay has done such a great job showcasing the beautiful richness of those colors in her layering behind the photo, as well as the cluster of flowers.  And it's all set off so nicely with the layering of the blue and tan background papers.  This layout really makes Circle of Life shine!
