    Hi everyone, Ona here with five of my favorite layouts from the gallery....... at the moment! lol! With the amount of stunning layouts being uploaded by the minute I know I will have another five different ones tomorrow.

    I bet you all have a few that you can share as well so please join me. Find five layouts, comment on them, and then link back to this thread to share with us. When you post them here let me know what you like about the pages you chose. Perhaps you could also let people know that their page was selected by pasting the link to this thread in your comment in the gallery.

    Let's start, here are my gallery five faves at the moment:

    1. MOC 4: Relax at Sea Ranch by christineirion
    All I can say about this incredible layout is WOW! Stunning collection of goodies from quite a few designers! The colour choices, the paper layering and shadow work are all simply perfect.

    2. Urban-esque by HeyJude
    Totally love the creativity in this layout! There is so much going on and I find something new wherever I look on the page. Stunning artistry at its best!

    3. Sunshine by chai
    Brilliant photos and the blending/masking on the background photo is fabulous. Love the autumn tones here and such a love quotation as well. Beautifully crafted.

    4. Winter Morn by wvsandy
    Living in Australia I yearn to see sights like this! Wonderful choice of papers and embellishments that add to the overall them of the page, I can just about feel the cold air on my face! Awesome page.

    5. Photo Focus by Mandy_RecordLife
    Brilliant idea! Love how the photos were arranged here. The large photo out front against the smaller photos in the background is stunning. This is really a stand out in the gallery and it's something I would love to try!

    So there are mine, what are your five faves??


    It's 12.14am for me and I am just about to head off to bed so I will see you all in the morning. If you have any questions though, please ask away, I am sure there will be some Polly's around to help you. :)

    The list is too long for just 5 but here's a few that I really loved so far ...

    @ninigoesdigi | I love the serene, calm colors, that big title, and the photography just makes me swoon!
    [​IMG]

    @Lynnette | I love this creative take on the Day 2 Year in Review Challenge - the center title with mix of alphas and all the sweet photos and gorgeous shadow curls! It's just so sweet!
    [​IMG]

    @mirjam | I want to pick every page Mirjam has done so far for MOC - I love that she plays along bc her pages ROCK. This is so creative - love the way she did the journaling and sized these gorgeous photos ... and oh the colors!!!
    [​IMG]

    @latz | Totally in love with this ATC! the quote is awesome and the colors are amazing with the inky bits of black - I want to scrap a traditional page based on this ATC as inspiration. Mad love for it!
    [​IMG]

    @bcgal00 | That face! Seriously one of the cutest dog photos ever. Ever!!! I love the white text on it and the rich deep browns and pops of yellow and turquoise ... so good! And then she goes and splatters some gold ever so delicately. I just love it. But honestly she had me at that face! :beat

    (1.) I love this one, I really struggle to use such bold backgrounds but feel inspired to give it a go.
    [​IMG]

    (2.)I so love it when a designer also scraps and love Lynn's creativity. The mix of photos and fabulous dramatic pops of black make this awesome.
    [​IMG]

    (3) I love the sentiment expressed here so powerfully as well as the sweet memories.
    [​IMG]

    (4) I find it easy to spout words and am always in awe when a picture speaks so eloquently.
    [​IMG]
    (5) I so love large photos and this one is simply stunning and striking and makes me want more of this too.

    what an amazing thread of wonder! I went thru this morning, just loving the energy and I had to start with
    all images are linked, and if you want to learn HOW to put images easy peasy go HERE
    1. ATC Confidence by @lorryfach - the fun she must have had making this page jumps off with the actual page itself
    [​IMG]
    2. @Jippo has such a clean and precious style, that I am drawn to every one of her pages, but this one, KApowee look at those shadows not just on the paper, but in the photograph
    [​IMG]

    3. I laughed right out loud at this page, and that to me is always a winner page, thank you @RJMJ for your template challenge page of hilarity!
    [​IMG]

    4. A redhead on a page will get me everytime too. Then the way cool cuts of real paper extracted (you know I am always looking for extractions), and blends, make this page of @gwtwred a top 5 to me
    [​IMG]

    and last but not least
    is for my new friend the fighter!! @LeeAnn, new to the Pad and she fought to figure out how to make her page right for the gallery and I adore her page and the precious sentiment to the letter L also!
