Just for fun....Gallery favorites for...
 

The gallery is bursting with amazing pages for the Summer Getaway 2019. I am loving see all the pages and the interpretations of the challenges.

I thought it would be fun to brag on our fellow scrappers. Maybe pick one of your favorite pages from the August 1st scrap hosted by Kim (kim517) and one of your favs from the August 5th challenge hosted by Mary (mrsashbaugh). Maybe elaborate a little on what caught your eye.

I'll start a new thread for the August 15th challenge once it is over.

Also, don't forget to leave that scrapper some love in the gallery.

I look forward to seeing what pages jumped out at you. :)

This was harder than I thought...lol...

For Kim's challenge using Ashley's prompts... I have lots of favs, but I am going to go with these two.

Gotta love those little chubby legs. It makes me wish my girls were still little. Love the perfect beach themed elements too.

And this beautiful one. I want to go and see this stunning place! I mean...wow it looks like a fab spot to hike. Great clustering and way to accent this photo.

For August 1, Kim's hoisting Ashley's challenge, there a lot I love, but here's one from AmieNi:
I just love the background of the photo blended on the tree stump and her clustering and framing is gorgeous!

First is this one from mmbstaley

I relate to this layout, from both of us living in the same area, pcs'ing across the country to another state and uprooting the children. It just is so real for me, that this could be our family's layout!

Second week would be this one from ~*Kiana*~

I'm just now settling down with the whole moving/unpacking that I'm starting to scrap my daughter's last half of her Senior Year. So again, this one hits home with Prom. I love the way that Kiana did the titlework through the layout, instead of the standard titlework. It captured my attention and makes me wish my daughter's Senior Prom was a good memory to scraplift this page!

For Aug 5 challenge of Amie that Mary hosted, I love this one by Neverland Scraps:

I love the composition of this page - the gorgeous cluster and photos across the top, the journaling in the background and the blended photo. Beautiful!

For the August 1st challenge I love this one by Karen - the layering of paper and elements on the edges with the fun photo instantly caught my attention

And for August 5th I chose this one by Tammy - her shadows are just amazeballs and I love how fun and colourful it is :)

It's so hard to pick just one, but here I go:

August 5th
I really liked the 'flow' of this one.

I love the big heart, for one thing, on this gorgeous photoless layout by madebymeinsp! The whole feel of the page makes me want to go to a wedding. : )

I'm a huge fan of anything craftytam creates, and this is no exception! I love the black & white bg with the bold colors.

Aug 1st favorite is this page by Heather. I love how super creative it looks with the fun mix of types, alphas, doodles, and word strips. Most of all, a really great message!

Aug 5th favorite is this one by Eve. The clever use of the climber paired with the photos of her dd doing the climb show a beautiful movement from bottom to top.

Oh wow, these pages are all so awesome and inspiring! I'll have to go grab some faves!

Aug 1st - this one by Mandy caught my eye....I love pages about reading.

Aug 5th- zoebearsmom caught my eye with the muted brown tones and warm colors on a slanted design.

Oh boy...there are so MANY gorgeous, inspirational ones to choose from...really!

Aug. 1st Challenge - I'll do one that was Go Big and one that was Go Home

Go Big - Tammy really went big with her photo being the size of the whole layout and then her perfect clusters had me swooning!

Go Home - Such a stunning photoless layout! Purple is my favorite color and then all the sparkles and scatters and the blending and star constellation...loved it all!

August 5th Challenge...being as this was the challenge I hosted, I feel bad picking just one favorite as you all seriously blew me away with your layouts...so I'm picking my top 3 that I loved. :)

The rainbow trails of hexagons with the rainbow elements placed on top of the hexagon trail is so gorgeous!

Love that she did a double page layout for this challenge and how she used Cindy's road template for her trail...scrapped beautifully too!

This one was a such a fun photoless trail of themed elements with the trail ending with the recipe card. Love it!
