Hi!  I’m back with another week of Gallery Standouts!  Our members never seem to run out of talent to keep the ScrapMatter gallery brimming with masterpieces!

First up, Denise chose this very sweet layout by Jenn (jenn7). Denise said, “I am in love with this beauty by Jenn – I just think her use of whitespace is so powerful on this layout. LOVE!” The word art, flower, and gorgeous frame all caught my attention and that of others in the gallery. I really like that it was captured on a once in a lifetime date, too!

Amber chose this beautifully layered layout by Dotcomkari for its colors, the layers and that beautiful photo treatment! The gallery comments also mention the wonderful journaling shared with us!  The cropping of the photos is really nice, too.

JillW treated us with this beauty chosen by Debby, who said, “It looks like that background paper is an extension of the photo picking up on every color from it. And that photo! I think she scrapped this just perfectly.” I like how Jill’s journaling is shaped to fit in with the clustering!

If you’re getting ready for Halloween, you’ll want to make note of this layout by katiecreates!  Amber said, “Such a fun design choice to have a central photo cluster on that circle background!”  That’s what caught my eye, too.  The background and circle frame just draw your attention to the adorable little witch!

Next up is a super photoless layout using some items from this month’s Mix A Kit by a different Jenn (jennamy82) .  The stamps and paint splats really create a great backdrop for the clusters and journal block!  If you struggle with photoless layouts, look no further than Jenn’s layout for inspiration!

Last up is also by a Jenn, but this time (jk703)…lots of Jenns this week in the GSO thread!  Amanda nominated this fun layout and said, “Fantastic photo and journaling plus I love how the page composition kind of even makes me think of moving… organized but not perfectly even edges.”  The layout is perfect to show off that priceless photo!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s Gallery Standout Showcase!  Please feel free to leave love for any or all of these gorgeous layouts!  And if you find something you really love in the gallery, please add it to the GSO thread to give it a special shout out!
