Today I'm excited to share ten scrapbook pages that I saw on Pinterest and fell in love with.
I love the stitching, the subtle sprays of color on the tags, the tags themselves, the masterful use of the embellishments, the overall design — just brilliant!
In some ways it's such a random collection of elements, but she just makes it all work so beautifully and seemingly effortlessly. I love the big number, the stamping on the photo, the quirky stitching, and those blue strips that pull it all together!
I love the random collection of leaves, the faux Polaroid prints, and the little dots around the journaling and title! The design is so masterful: it's quirky and interesting and yet totally perfect!
I love how she created the pinwheels, but then contained them in the white block. It's so much nicer than if they covered the whole page — and such an unusual choice too. Really awesome, and totally demonstrates the "less is more" mantra.
Well, I have to say that I love Marsha for using the Balzer Designs "Clouds" stencil so masterfully! I also love the inky background on the ledger paper and those cool gold dots. The string running across the layout is awesome too!
I love the design of this layout. Wilna always manages to take random elements and make them seamlessly flow together. The colors she has used to paint her background are totally wonderful as well!
I think the two-page layout is a wickedly difficult thing to do well. I love and adore the design of this page. It feels full and yet it breathes and it's so simple and well done. I love the use of tags and the the little photo in the circle — just so well done!
I cannot tell you how much I love and adore the star with its layers of patterned paper! Such a cool idea and so well done! I also think the circle with its sequins and buttons and paint splats and other flotsam and jetsam is brilliant.
Louise is such a genius at minimalist maximalism. I love the colors, the intensity, the design, the wateriness, the layering, the mood — such a wonderful page!
I love how this page kind of looks like an art journal page. I love the soft background and the sort of handwritten looking title. I love the little journaling bits and all of the little details!
I am often admiring of, and inspired by, artwork that looks nothing like what I do, as much as I'm inspired by artwork that is within my millieu. Mostly, I admire artwork and scrapbook pages where I feel like the creator has worked the page or project in a unique and thoughtful way. Quirk appeals to me. Unique design always catches my eye. I also go for bright colors, lots of white space, simplicity, and a strong sense of being hand made.
What appeals to you when you look at other people's scrapbook pages?
Thanks for stopping by!
I really like the first LO and the fall LO has so much movement to it. TFS. Funny for you to say that you are sometimes drawn to LO’s that look nothing like the ones that you do. When I see LO’s that are different I have a hard time imaging how I would create it and then have to step back and just enjoy it for what it is (someone else’s creation). Guess that I need to develop and eye for art that is not something that I want to “copy”.

Thanks Julie for rounding up those layouts. My Pintrest time gets cut short a lot of times so this was a great way to see a lot of awesome layouts in one place.

Wow… Wow! Thank you so much!!! You made my day! 😀 (I used Nathalie’s What’s the Point Stencil to create the gold dots ;-))

I agree with Sara but I am going to pin these. What I like is when the layout makes your eye go right to the photo and then you look around and see so many beautiful other pieces!

I feel very drawn to minimalist design, Julie, thanks so much for sharing. When I look at art works like these, I wonder first, WHERE DID THEY BEGIN? and then, HOW DID THEY BRING IT ALL TOGETHER SO BEAUTIFULLY? and then I bang my head on the table, as usual!

I don’t scrapbook but consider all these examples “works of art” and I think you’ve assembled a really fine group. I must be drawn to similar qualities and find original, unique designs the most exciting. I have noticed that a lot of what I see has been done over and over and I get bored with it. I see a lot of repetition of ideas and when I notice my work has slipped into a “copy” mode, I distance myself from the web for a while in order to reclaim my own ideas and style.
Generally speaking, I prefer the “less is more” approach and shy away from embellishments unless an inclusion is the only way to make the point.

I am fond of uncluttered pages. The details should be part of the story — not flowers for the sake of flowers or buttons because they are in style. I like gutsy rather than pretty. I love a page that tells me something new (not just enshrine a photo or three). I like bold lettering and bold colors or textures or both. I love being able to touch a page without a plastic condom in the way. I like rhinestones, sequins, glitter, and gold or silver leaf — I know how decadent! And I love quirky subjects like favorite shoes, grandma’s pots and pans, and key rings for everyone in the house.

I totally enjoyed this post! I always love the uniqueness and interesting use of simple embellishments and images that hit an emotion. On a scrapbook page, I like journaling but not where it takes you too long to read.
Thank you, Julie. :0)

I am not sure if this is the right comment box to comment on the stencils, but here goes. The last project I used a stencil on was a pottery platter. Whether I win or buy the feather stencil, I think it will be beautiful on a ceramic piece.
