Shining the Gallery Spotlight

Polly Sara here with some fresh spotlight picks.  Perusing the gallery was an extra special treat for me this week, as I’m fighting off some terrible sickies.  All the gorgeous pages were like a soothing balm to my zapped sickly creativity.  And with the Christmas holiday quickly approaching the gallery was full to bursting with beautiful holiday pages.  As always the job of choosing a couple pages to share with you today was so so SO difficult.  And interestingly enough the two I kept coming back to over and over aren’t even of the holiday variety.   I can’t wait to share them with you!

First, I’d like to shine the spotlight on Goals for 2010 by Jasmin.  I was immediately drawn to how she played with the painty and doodley goodness here.  That, married with the fabulous pops of color with her neutral color scheme really gave the page a fun and funky vibe that exudes the kind of positivity captured in her journaling.

Next up is a fantastic hybrid project: book of colors by coco.  I’ve been drawn to hybridy goodness lately and this project captured my focus for it’s wonderful playfulness.  I just know my daughter would love a book like this!  So fun!!

Hope you feel as inspired as I was! And I hope everyone who celebrates enjoys a very Happy Holiday!  You won’t want to miss our Friday releases.  There are amazing goodies in store that will make for a VERY Merry Christmas!!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
