Okay lets have a look at Page Drafts Gallery Standout Selections...
'Becoming Who You Are'
by Laurel Seabrook
Page Drafts Template #33.5 by The Nifty Pixel

Using the main photo in colour then duplicating it several times in Black & White is a clever graphic and totally fun way to showcase the same photo. The pops of colour is a great way to bring interest into the design and draw the viewer in for a closer look. Love this page!
'Cute'
by Carol Deal
Page Drafts Sketch for CSI #134 by The Nifty Pixel

Look at the use of colour in this page! Oh my gosh it is so perfectly balanced. Using a subtle but contrasting coloured photo is a fantastic way to highlight the photo, especially when you use lots of elements and embellishments. Sheer Perfection!
'Lilianne'
by Aurélie Cormier
Page Drafts Template #32.1 by The Nifty Pixel

The photo is perfectly showcased in this gorgeous page. The Palette and fun elements are a great combo with this sepia toned photo. How good does the grunged up edges of the diagonal paper strips look with the more clean lines of the other elements and the machine stitching finishes it off.
'Cherish Everyday'
by Natalie May
Page Drafts Template #30.3 by The Nifty Pixel

The pink tones in the background paper is balanced perfectly with the same tone in the photo's. Adding the ribbon ties all the layers together. Love this page there is just enough embellishing to add dimension without detracting from the gorgeous subject matter.
'@ Play'
by Robin Anderson
Page Drafts Template for CSI #127 by The Nifty Pixel

This is such a beautiful page. The soft mint hues are a perfect pairing with these sensational photo's as they have some ochre tones in them which makes for a complimentary palette.  The addition of twine is also a subtle yet effective way to connect the sections in the page design. I love that Robin has kept the page fairly clean with just a touch of paint splats to support the 'at play' theme. 

Congratulations LAUREL, CAROL, AURÉLIE, NATALIE & ROBIN... your pages are magnificent. They all show a creative flair and a masterful use of the sketches, so thank you for using Page Drafts designs as kick-starters!

I hope everyone enjoyed viewing these jaw-droppingly beautiful artworks.
Keep an eye out for next months GSO which will be toward the end of SEPTEMBER, you never know it could be YOU so please keep sharing your amazing pages with us!

We'd also like to congratulate this months

These scrapbookers are all masters at telling their stories, each in very unique ways.

'Hundar'
by Anna-Karin
Page Drafts Template for CSI #122

Banners are a great way to arrange photo's and include little collected trinkets or ephemera from the event your scrapping about. Adding lots of texture to a page is a great way to re-interpret papers in a sketch. Anna-Karin made a fantastic background using her Gelli plate. Scoot over to her blog by clicking on the image above to see how she created this fantastic page.
'Mexico City'
by Debbie Standard
Page Drafts Template #28.5

Multiple photo templates are fantastic for capturing those big moments especially travel adventures. If your not into project life then a symetrical designed template is a perfect solution to documenting all those travel photos whilst keeping it organised. Debbie has picked the perfect sketch to showcase many amazing memories.
'Pause'
by Kristi Brockschmidt
Page Drafts Template #29.1

This gorgeous page is a great example of how the combination of one great photo and a good title can tell the whole story at a glance. Simply incredible...need I say more?
'Travel' 
by Natascha Broers
Page Drafts Template #1.4

This digital page is so cool. So many fabulous elements and great layering. Stacking lots of themed embellishments is a fun way to help support your story. Just by looking at the images you can tell Natascha is either heading off to London or is soon going. Tash is very clever at visual story telling.

'Bold & Beautiful'
by Wendy Sue Bennett
Page Drafts Template CSI #118

When I saw this page in the CSI gallery I was instantly taken aback. Every detail in this page looks relaxed but considered, its a perfectly resolved design. From the doodling to the textures and after reading the journaling you are instantly transported into another place. Fantastic page!

I hope everyone enjoyed viewing these jaw-droppingly beautiful artworks.
Keep an eye out for next months GSO which will be end of June, you never know it could be YOU!

Congratulations Wendy-Sue, Natascha, Anna-Karin, Kristi and Debbie...all your pages are magnificent!
