Without any further ado...

[Traci Reed]

My pick this week is by the fabulous MayS! I love the black and white photos with the vibrancy of the kit and the downward arcing composition is so striking!

My pick is this gorgeous layout by Mother Bear. As busy as the background is, it doesn't take away from the photo and fabulously clustered elements. My eye is drawn immediately to the photo, and I love that she included his favourite things in the journalling.

This layout just popped right out of the gallery at me. I love her composition and the way the color just shines with the neutral background. And such precious pics, too!

It's the photo combined with all the layering goodness in this layout by sigmakap95 that really gets me! LOVING the title work, too. :) ♥

Anyone that has perused my gallery knows I'm a sucker for diagonal composition and this one by Sherri Tierney (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/member.php?uid=9206&username=sherri-tierney) is no exception! I love how the canvas is filled with journaling.

Thank you ladies! I was a little nervous about posting that one since I got all long-winded and rambly on it. :)

This layout by suladesign just reached out and grabbed me when I went through the gallery today. Wow! So many things to love about this: the title work, the GORGEOUS clustering and composition, the stamps . . . just beautiful work!

[Libby Pritchett]

Yay! I'm so glad that Nicole made the choice she did. I was in LOVE with that layout when I saw it, but I've already selected my gso for this week! LOL

[MamaBee]

This is my pick for this week by livelys... I love seeing hybrid cards (an type of hybrid I just have no patience for... haha)... and this one by Sara just makes me smile!! I that it look like a spring is pushing the owl across the page and the "whoot" is such a hoot!

[livelys]

Aww, thanks Rebecca - and hooray for hybrid ;)

[LJSDesigns]

All great, inspiring choices. :)

[Tracyfish]

My pick this week is KimberlyMorris (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showgallery.php?ppuser=30164&username=kimberlymorris) with this visually stunning layout. I absolutely love the effect she created with the photo. And all the clustering around the edges is just perfect for the subject of the page.

[Kjersti]

I really love this layout by Sasha. The photos are gorgeous her layering is just incredible. I love how she took a kit with a Hunger Games theme and used it in such a delicate way!! It's beautiful.

I love the shabby chic feel of this gorgeous layout by pomi!!! Every element seems to be perfectly places and that cute little face sticking through the heart cut out is irreistable! The whole thing just flows so beautifully!
