Hello everyone!  Kim here today to announce this week’s Layout of the Week!  I have to say that the job of picking just one layout has been tough the last couple of months.  There have been so many great layouts posted.  It has been a lot of fun to look through the gallery and see layouts with the newest kits as well as old favorites.  So it wasn’t easy to pick just one layout this week, but I had to!  Congratulations to graciewollf and her Jungle Gym Fun layout!

First of all, this layout jumped out to me because of the colors.  I love the bright yellow and green against the black background.  And adding in a bit of purple gave it just the right girly touch.  And who wouldn’t be drawn in by those cute photos?  As graciewollf pointed out, it was the perfect time of the day for a little golden light in the background.  Makes the whole page just shine!  Lovely scrapping and my pick for this week :)

Graciewollf, enjoy your $10 gift card to the Shabby Shoppe coming in your email (be sure to check your spam folder if you don’t see it).  Congrats again!!

 Although this isn’t a Halloween layout by any means, I could see this color scheme working for some of you who may be scrapping Halloween later this week!  And speaking of Halloween, stop back by the blog tomorrow and Wednesday for some more scrapping inspiration.  We have some great Halloween (and non-Halloween) layouts to share with you!  Kylie will be with you tomorrow.  Bye!

HAPPY MONDAY everyone! ~ Kylie here! :o)  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend…and managed to fit a little scrappin’ time in!  Today I’m here to share the Layout of the Week!…and I’ve got one very cooooool page to share…First Boots by RinRent :o)

Awesome scrapping, RinRent…WOW, your page has everything - technique, FUN details, and most of all, it is seriously cute-to-boot!!  The combination of the blended extraction and the close-up pic of the boots makes a big impact and straight away you know exactly what this layout is all about.  The playful grungitti, swirlie stitching and crossword phrases bring this page to life!  LOVE IT!

There were so many fabulous layouts in the inspiration gallery last week (THANK YOU!)…it was so much FUN to browse through and soak up all the endless scrapping inspiration.  And when it comes to extractions and the like, I’m afraid I’ve become somewhat of a ‘lazy’ scrapper, LOL!…I really can’t remember the last time I applied this technique?  Can you??  And today’s LOTW winner wasn’t the only super-cool page that utilized this fun trick – JoyontheJourney‘s Color My World layout was another amazing example and well worth a look – check it out HERE - it’s incredible!!

Congratulations, RinRent!  Watch your e-mail (and don’t forget to check your SPAM folders if you don’t see it!) for a $10 gift card to the Shabby Shoppe …and enjoy your shoppe-ing!

This week the gallery was again full of beautiful layouts, but the layout of the week is… “tobogan” by Sahndra.

I love the adorable photo that shines on this page with a simple color scheme and design.  The little birdie embellishments are so cute!  Looking at this page with it’s wonderful use of white space, just makes me happy!

Good Monday Morning!  Casharina here bringing you another layout of the week post!  This week we’ve had SO many gorgeous layouts to choose from.  It was very inspiring and I’ve added a lot of them to my favorites file.  But at the same time, it made my choice SO much more difficult.  Too bad I only get to choose one…and after TONS of consideration I chose Rainbows by kris_t.

Not only is this layout absolutely stunning, but it also shares a greater message.  Her kiddos made these beautiful rainbows to send to a little girl who is sick in the hospital who hopes to receive a rainbow from everyone in the world. How precious is that?  And, the page was inspired by Beckie’s recent rainbow-inspired post; it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time!

Isn’t the cluster of brilliant colored flowers, buttons and other elements just superb?  You all know what a sucker I am for clusters and this is just fantastic.  I love how she was able to make the cluster flow down the entirety of the page, it’s perfect and really helps give meaning to the pictures!  I heart it!!

 Once again congratulations kris_t and thanks for sharing your layout with us!  Please be sure to check your email along with your spam folder for a $10 gift card to enjoy some shoppe’ing fun!

Join us tomorrow when Kylie brings us another Product Spotlight featuring another one of the Shabby Shoppes beautiful kits!
