'Cute Dinner Date'

by Debbie Standard
Page Drafts Template #16.5 by The Nifty Pixel

Look at this sequence of photos isn't he adorable! What a fabulous mix of alphas in the title work and the clouds supporting the paper airplane patterned paper are a perfect way to reinforce a theme.

'Halloween Adventures'

by Kay Fatula
Page Drafts Template #31.1 by The Nifty Pixel

The mix of  papers is perfectly co-ordinated with the photos as the red tones highlight the same tones 

in photos. Adding a contrasting colour of Cobalt Blue adds drama and just a touch of the unexpected.

 

'Together'

by Kiana Fitzpatick
Page Drafts Template #3.2 by The Nifty Pixel

Such a fun mix of pattern and colour. Using word snippets is a great way to convey your story without having to resort to journaling everytime.

'# Growing'

by Libeeti Frenkel
Page Drafts Template for CSI #143 by The Nifty Pixel

The different shaped photo's is a a fun way to add a point of interest in stacked banners. Adding symmetry by dividing a page into halves is a great way to balance a page that includes lots of elements. 

'Snow'

by Shirley Mijares Mascarina
Page Drafts Template #35.1 by The Nifty Pixel

Using large formatted photos is a perfect way to really tell your story. Placing them in teh background and slightly blurring them adds a sense of movement and action to a set of outdoor shots.

Congratulations Debbie, Libeeti, Kiana, Kay and Shirley...all your pages are magnificent and really show a creatove flair and masterful use of the sketches!

'Friends'

by Katrin Wunderlich
Page Drafts Template for CSI #139 by The Nifty Pixel

Katrins page is amazing.  I love all the stitched chevrons mirrored in the background. Its such a fabulously bold and creative take on the sketch. 

'Knowledge Seeker'

by Heather Robertson
Page Drafts Template #34.3 by The Nifty Pixel

This is such a fun page. The blue tones and mix of papers is a great way to create movement in a page. Heather has slightly tweaked the sketch by staggering and tilting the photos. Its a fun example of how you can incorporate pie charts into your projects too.

'Off to the Beach'

by Veera Saarivuo
Page Drafts Template for CSI #134 by The Nifty Pixel

Veera has a beautiful soft and sensative style. Her stylised take on the sketch is a perfect example of how easy it is to take elements of a sketch and use them to create a beautiful and unique design.

'Mardi Gras'

by Binty
Page Drafts Template for LCOM #86 by The Nifty Pixel

I love Binty's take on this sketch. Her clustered photos and labels are a fun and unique spin on what could be a Project Life style page. All the beautiful handmade embellishments are amazing too.

'Divine @49'

by Paula Calivanico
Page Drafts Template #33.3 by The Nifty Pixel

Paula has created such a rich and opulent page. The ornate detailed frame perfectly highlights the photos and provides a subtle contrast with the background paper and gorgeous chipboards.

Congratulations Katrin, Heather, Veera, Binty and last but not least Paula...all your pages are magnificent and really show a creative flair and masterful use of the sketches!

'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.

Okay lets have a look at Page Drafts Gallery Standout Selections for June 2014...

'On Holiday'

by Gail Macaulay
Page Drafts Template CSI #122

Okay so this one just blows me away! When I saw this page in the CSI gallery I was enamoured by the ingenuity of Gails approach to scrapping whilst on holiday. Cleverly Gail thought outside of the box and created this fantastic page using items she found around the hotel and in her room, even more clever is the use of her iphone to showcase the photo! I just love this so much and think she maybe onto a new style of scrapbooking What do you think?

'Home on the Range'

by Andrea Slee
Page Drafts Template #31.1

Andrea shared a couple of  pages this month and I was hard picked trying to decide which one to go with. This one got the GSO for its sheer perfection so had to share it here with you all. Look at the amount of detailed work Andrea has incorporated into the page. The eyelets and twine lacing, the distressed edges and emboss work all tie perfectly together to create a sensitive and beautiful heritage feel. Sheer perfection!

'Beautiful'

by Zeneva Kovic
Page Drafts Template #31.1

Zeneva's page is amazing. The bold repeat heart pattern really makes the page so striking. All the stacked embellishments and girl inspired trinkets paired tucked in amongst the flowers is like finding little tresures. The addition of the soft misting really makes for a very beautiful princess page.
So so gorgeous!

'Potential'

by Denise Jensen
Page Drafts Template CSI #122

Look at this gorgeous page. The amount of work in the banner with all the stacked elements, buntings and the foliage combined create a soft and sweet page. The photo is such an engaging one too which really catches your attention also what a fantastic interpretation of the sketch. 

'Fun in the Sun'

by Stephanie Brower Czosnek
Page Drafts Template #31.2

This gorgeous light filled fun digital page is so pretty. The pastel palette paired with the more stylised elements creates great balance with the primary coloured photo's. Its such an interesting combination  that would ordinarily not work but Stephanie has really managed to combine the two perfectly. I love the free flow of this page and her choice of sketch really helps support the freedom and fun at the beach we all love and remember.

Congratulations Gail, Andrea, Denise, Zeneva and Stephanie...all your pages are magnificent and really show a creatove flair and masterful use of the sketches!
I hope everyone enjoyed viewing these jaw-droppingly beautiful artworks.

Okay lets check out the MAY Page Drafts Gallery Standout Selections...
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.

Okay so lets get onto the fun stuff have a look at Page Drafts Gallery Standout selections for April...

'PDA ugh'

by Mary Martinez
Page Drafts Template for PRD March Challenge

Mary's use of bold papers and bright palette is a fun way to add texture and colour. Scattering smaller elements likes beads adds another point of interest and movement to a page.  Such an amazing digital page worthy of a mention!

'Sunshine'

by Lynette Jacobs
Page Drafts Template #26.2

I love Lynette's mix of patterned papers. They are a perfect choice for this fun outdoors photo. Lynette has echoed the dot texture by clustering some buttons and brads which is a clever way to introduce a subtle unity in the design. This is such a fun and vibrant page!

'Carry On'

by Heather Vavra
Page Drafts Template for CSI#114

Heather has followed the sketch almost to a tee but still maintained a very unique page. Including speech bubbles is a great way to add some whimsy and pairing them with the selfie snapshot is lots of fun! This clean page with just a touch of grunge is a perfect example of how to add a little bit of painterly texture without over doing it. Such a fun page!

'Solana Sunset'

by Carrie Shirley Randolph
Page Drafts Template #25.2

Shirley has created a beautiful and dreamy page. Using two different sized photos is a clever way to draw the viewer into the scene and make the photo stand out. Using strips of paper in your project is another great way to use up some scrap papers or utelise most of the paper designs in one digital kit.
I love the simple elegance of this page.

'How Many?'

by Shawna Saucier
Page Drafts Template for CSI #114

The great thing with sketches is you can rotate them and get a completely different design. Shawna has done that with this sketch perfectly. Another great trick to draw the eye into the main grouping or photo is to add directional elements like Shawna has done with the chevrons. She has reinforced that by pooling most of the colour in the photo and in the directly adjacent elements. Such an eyecatching page!

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

Have a fabulous day and congratulations Lynette, Carrie, Heather, Shawna and Mary, all your pages are sheer perfection!
