My Standout for the week is this absolutely STUNNING layout by scrappy_donna:

All the detail in this layout is so amazing, from her layering, to the little bike and house! My favorite part are the banners which meet to draw attention across the layout to her fabulous photos!

I found this amazing layout by Litabells in the gallery this morning and couldn't help but want to share it with you all.

I just love all the layering here and the photo strip with the repeating photos is so fun. Thanks for inspiring me to add more depth of layers to my pages!

[Traci Reed]

Oh I LOVE that Juli!

Wonderful idea girls!

Okay... let me preface this by saying I did NOT pick this one because it uses a collab of mine. LOL! I almost told myself not to pick it because of that. But then I took a second look and decided that I was too much in love. Here's my fav for this week from terrab (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=265320&title=my-treasure&cat=500):

I love the softness to this page... yet there is still so much on it! It's all perfectly placed, though. I love how the photos are prominent and how the kit compliments them. And I love the kraft paper background that softens it all up and pulls it all together. And the tab. Yum! Love the tabby-thingy with it's little "pop" of black. LOL!

I am totally in love with this page by Kelleanne. I love the graphic feel to it, the background paper she chose, the slightly desaturated photo... Just perfect!

I have yet to decide what my OLW is but look at this Fantastic OLW-non photo layout by Lindsay (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/forum/../gallery/member.php?uid=116&username=lindsay)
The colors are so yummy and great job on the title work.
