Here are some gorgeous layouts we came across in the last week.

I love the bright Summer colours in this layout against the white background (love those creases!).

Forrest Fairy by TalyQ
The thing that drew me to this page is that totally gorgeous photo. I love how it takes pride of place and I adore all those sparkles scattered across the layout.

I love that there is so much colour and such wonderful layering under those lovely black & white photos.

You R So Beautiful by Balinda
Gorgeous colour choice that perfectly compliments the photos. I also like that she has chosen the patterned papers for the background.

Firstly I love that this is done in black, white & pink. Great use of patterned paper and wonderful element layering.

Firstly, a quick note to mention that we are almost at 200 followers (or ‘Likers’, but how weird is it saying that? lol) on our Facebook page. Once we get to 200 I think we might give away a nice shiny coupon to a random follower 🙂

And here is this week’s product review. I can’t actually remember how I came across this lol I was just trawling through my emails and followed a few links to Holly Designs’ store at Shabby Pickle. She has some gorgeous products and I finally settled on the mini kit, Sweet Escape.

I adore the colours and the elements are cute – I love the swirls and the layered frame. The papers are wonderfully textured and subtly patterned. I’m actually looking forward to scrapping with this kit this week. I think it could be used for more than an ocean/sea/beach themed page, and I will have fun playing around with it.

I apologise for the lack of posting yesterday. We have had a family issue this week, so I took the day off.

We have a customer review again this week. Thank you to those wonderful readers who email us reviews of products they have bought 🙂

KIT NAME: With Gratitude
DESIGNERS: Lauren Reid, Dani Mogstad & Misty Cato
REVIEW:
I’m generally a ‘new release’ kind of shopper. I search through new products and pick some goodies from there. But I decided to delve further into the Sweet Shoppe this past week, and came across this gem from Lauren Reid, Dani Mogstad and Misty Cato.

With Gratitude is a stunning kit, full of beautifully patterned papers and delicate, unique elements. The colours are gorgeous and really lend themselves to any theme/style layout. I know you won’t be disappointed in this and I am sure it will become a standby, go-to kit for me!

No theme to the layouts this week, just those that stood out in the gallery 🙂

Just look at all that gorgeous, vibrant blue! Love the paint on the background and the great element placement.

Are We There Yet? by nikkiepperson
I love the photos on this page. The choice of papers and elements helps to bring out the subjects’ personalities.

I love all the doodled elements on this page. And that sunburst background draws the eye right to the photos.

U Make My Heart Sing by derricksmom
Such a bright and happy page! I love all the layering and the use of the bright colours.

Summer of 2000 by starxlr8
I like the choice of photos in this layout. The colours are perfectly chosen and the page is clean and uncluttered.
