Gallery Standout Showcase
Saturday, September 29th, 2012
Wow, I can’t believe that September ends tomorrow! Time sure flies when you’ve got a gallery full of beautiful layouts to looks at! It can be difficult to pick layouts from the GSO thread for this post, so I’m making easy on myself and am showcasing the first six chosen this week…
Our first GSO, by Stefanie (Eyeore), was selected by Oriana. She liked how Stefanie placed the elements and also her great journaling! I have to agree that the composition is super! The columns make for easy readability and the clusters add just the right touch of interest to her layout.
Next is another photoless layout! This one, by IntenseMagic, was chosen by Tamara (StudioCappuccino). Tamara said, “I love loads of journaling and photoless pages!! “ The story here is fantastic and the border layering and word arts are great!
Now we go from photo-less with lots of journaling to a beautiful, non-journaled layout! Amber chose this layout by Tanya (tanyariley) and said, “I’m SO in love with how incredibly soft this page is.. from the photo treatment, to the elements she used.. it all just flows so effortlessly.” 
Amber also chose this next layout by Yolanda (y baros) and said, “how can you not love a page with as much attitude and sass as this?! Love all the clustering, and I’m always a sucker for lots of patterns on a page.” I really like the colors and how Yolanda cropped her photo!
Next is a beautiful heritage layout by Melissa (yzerbear19). Tracey selected this layout for GSO and said, “You made historical cool. Love this!” If you ever need inspiration for a heritage page you need look no further than Melissa’s gallery!
Lastly we have a challenge layout by Victoria 32. The monthly challenges are a great way to accumulate points towards shop discounts here at ScrapMatters. When Michelle chose this layout she said, “WOW!!! Loving the inspiration Victoria32 found in challenge 24….” The photo of the colorful boats is great!
Don’t forget to check this GSO thread to see the others nominated this week! The layouts are linked to make it easy for you to leave love on these wonderful layouts!
