Wow, this week has flown by and the gallery is full of beautiful layouts again!  These are among those chosen in this week’s GSO thread.  Each layout is linked to the gallery so if you’re curious about the kits used or wish to leave love on these Gallery Standouts just click away!

It’s still warm where I am, but this layout reminds me that Fall is just around the corner!  I love how mdel clustered around the happy family photo!  Her choices of patterned papers for the background & paper strips are perfect!

If you love clustering you’ll surely love this layout by chocochoco! The black & white photos are complimented nicely with the kit colors and page design. The ever so slight tilt of the photo beneath the frame is a nice touch! I really like all the buttons on the flowers, too!

I love a well journaled layout and always enjoy Dotcomkari’s storytelling. I’m sure her daughter will really cherish this layout when she is older. The split page design, clustering and torn photo frame are all wonderful!

I really like Aussiegirl’s idea to show how her daughter has grown since kindergarten. The horizontal cluster with the grade tags is fantastic! And the chain of paper clips stapled to the page is a great finishing touch!  I think we’ve had a GSO with this kit each week since it was released!

PictureDesigns used one of my favorite kits to show us her sweetheart!  The softness of the colors make us feel as relaxed as her feline friend!  The clustering and layering are wonderful!  Shhhh, don’t wake the kitty!

Next up is another split page design, this time by jenn33199.  Her layout stood out in the gallery for its poetic journaling and wonderful use of mixed frames! The pinks lead the eye across the layout in a lovely flow!

Last up we’re treated to this layout that is part of a double pager by Debby (debbyrose).  Debby used the template from this month’s challenge and flipped it for the two sides!  Her title work is just perfect and you can feel how amazed her grandsons are through the wonderful photos! I love all the layered seaweed!

Thanks for coming to see this week’s Gallery Standouts! Check out the thread every week for inspiration and beautiful layouts!  If you find a layout in the gallery that you just love, feel free to add it to the GSO thread and it might just be showcased here on the ScrapMatters blog!
