Love how the ‘element cluster’ takes your eyes straight to the photo!!  Gorgeous colour and the clustering is fabulous! A fab festive layout!

Wow, fab blending and shadow work!  Love how the elements are tucked between two papers.  Amazing composition and design!

Hi guys!

This is Beth a.k.a. kewl_jive for this week’s GSO. Is it Friday yet? NO, BOOOOO…You gotta love Fridays!!! I hope you’ll have a fantastic weekend. I’ll surely have one because my Mom is coming all the way from the Philippines on Saturday night, which means I have one more subject to scrap. And Spring, we are so ready for you, get yourself over here and you are sooo welcome to stay.

The gallery is full of gorgeous layouts and I encourage everyone to vote for the page that deserves Gallery Standout.

Without further ado…

Amazing how she used few elements, yet the page looks soo amazing. Incredible work!

Odon
I love how delicate the page lookslike. The precious photo and her tutu is just perfect for this page. Well done!

Dido’s words and clusters templates are just awesome! I love how she used it and the lil extraction here and there adds a fabulous touch on the page. Marvelous job!

Congratulations, you have been entered into the final drawing for this month’s prize: a $10 GC to the After Five shoppe. We are looking forward to seeing all the beautiful layouts in the A5D gallery this coming week.

Friday GSO – Feb 26-March3rd!

Category : Inspiration

Hi Everyone!  Patti here today bringing you this week’s amazing Gallery Shout Outs!  You guys make this job so hard week after week!    I gain so much inspiration from the gallery here at A5D!

Remember, you can have a hand in helping pick out the weekly GSO layouts!   Drop by the gallery and post the layout that you think has that ‘wow’ factor in the GSO weekly thread in the forum.  It was a  very difficult task picking from the layouts that had been ‘nominated’ this past week.  So check it out, I think you will agree with me:)

Rose Wind by Traumelfe

What a beautiful layout.  I love the ‘delicate’ yet whimsical feel to the page.  Gorgeous clustering and elemental usage.  Love the script like journaling font.

8 March by Odon:

What a great idea to ‘frame’ the scene.  This is such a precious layout.  Love the innocence of it all.  Love the colours and the ability to have the extacted photo do the ‘talking’.

Promise by DitaB:

Love the natural feel to the page.  Fabulous compostition and clustering.   Love the ‘white space’.

Congratulations ladies!!  Amazing inspiration this week!!

Have a great weekend! Cya back here next week – same time and place!

Cheers!

Hi Everyone!  Lucie  here with the new designer spotlight for this month : Dido design

I’m so happy to write this first post on the blog !!

I’m sure you already know Dido design but this month we will discover a little more.
It was very difficult to choose any one of its products, you can find them all here and remember to visit her gallery here .

The first kit I have chosen is ” Time Machine” a kit with shades of gold, pink, brown, brush, stickers, clocks, … etc. Everything there is to achieve a page on the passing of time, or a page with a picture of an important moment .
I invite you to discover !!

I also had the hard task of trying to pick 3 layouts  using this gorgeous kit.
