Scraplift #37 is Michelley-Jelly!!

I was surfing the DST gallery for two hours trying to find a lift for today. It's amazing - there are SOOOO MANY wonderful layouts that I have been having an increasingly harder and harder time finding a layout that I find catches my eye! The amount of talent out there in the gallery world is simply amazing!!!


So what made me pick this one over all the other divine layouts I saw? Here are some reasons why I think this layout is so wonderful and why I think it should be lifted:

1. The pictures have a sweet luminescence to them - they just glow
2. I love the font work
3. The tasteful use of doodles
4. The rounded corners on the outside edges only
5. That ADORABLE dinosaur cartoon!!!
6. the star background that gives visual interest and texture but doesn't take it over!
7. Ok, this one's very subjective, but when I was growing up all I wanted to be was an archaeologist, so the subject matter captured my heart! LOL!!

Will you dig for buried treasure with me and lift this wonderful layout this week and let me share it next week? I can't wait to see what everyone does for this very versatile layout!!!

How totally sweet are these pictures??? I was instantly drawn to this layout by Sunshine06. The main photo is so engaging and the sweet Christmas colors and the diagonal stripes give such fun bold color!!!

This one is by princessj0yce. She always has such cute photos - and this layout is no different. What I really like about this one is how she used such pretty and muted colors to let the bold reds show in her picture. I love the flower and the doodles are wonderful too!


This adorable layout is from Liza. The pictures are so cute!! I Love the way she tied in the tree and the snowflakes and the great color combinations!

This super cute layout is by Karen. I really love her color sense and my favorite color combo lately is pink and browns, so I was drawn to this as well because of the colors. The journaling is so cute and I love the main photo of her "reading".

Journaling = This children’s Bible is one of your favorite books. Because of that, you tend to refer to books as “Bible"


This is by Mandy. I really love those gorgeous photos of her daughter's eyes and the colors she chose for the layout was so perfect for showing off these pictures!!! I especially love the band of blue behind the two smaller pictures.
