Oscraps

Hello scrappers, Cheryl here to welcome you to our new Friday Cheery-O Favorites blog post! What is Cheery-O Favorites? Each Friday we’re going to be featuring five layouts from the previous week, chosen by the Cheery-O’s. They’re going to be telling us a little bit about why they chose them. (Credits for our new header: Sunshine Kit, by CRK Designs. ) I know you’re anxious to see who is featured today, so let’s get started.

Carol’s Template Challenge by Erin2
Firstly, the colour combo of purple and yellow really drew my eye to Erin’s layout, and secondly I love layouts that feature flowers of any kind. I also love all the photos she included on her layout and together with her paper and element choices this layout really is stunning!

Selected by Kay (aka BrightEyes)
#7 Red Camera & Sky by isDK
I really like the use of the accordion folds on the photo which draws the eye from the dark sky with a hint of red light on the left to the bright clouds reflecting the sunrise on the right. The addition of the camera phone and the photo on the lower right are the perfect accent.

Selected by Sandrine (aka Timounette)
Anna Lift, 10 Years by Lacy
Wonderdul portraits of Tilly. I love the blending in torn papers, especially the sepia one. The effect is amazing and so creative.

July Challenge #3 52 Inspirations by echoes
The colorful palette initially caught my eye but the sense of balance and delicate beauty makes this page so very special. I love the photo and how the flowers and word art add to the framing of it. I also appreciated echoes comment: “Sometimes, what you intended to do, ends up nothing like your plan! That’s this layout!” It’s reassuring to know you are not alone in that 

Selected by *sylvia* July Challenge 1 – Home by Terri M
I love the simplicity of the layout. The photos and Terri’s composition speak for themselves. The title work is just perfect and so creative.

We think this is going to be the perfect addition to our weekly blog lineup and hope you’ve enjoyed it. There’s more news – at the end of the month, one lucky scrapper (that we’ve featured) who will win a $5 Gift Certificate to the Oscraps store!

We’ll be back next Friday with five new layouts for this coming week. Have a wonderful and creative weekend.
