Wow, it’s been a while since I blogged last time. Been away for a couple of days, and then it’s always so hard to get back into the blogging routine: Where do I start? Do I try to keep up?

Well, I decided that today is the day for me to jump back in, and of course, it’s time to show you some of the treasures I found this week in the galleries …

Christmas Day by snowdropz
Christmas 2011 is over, but the galleries are still full of pretty pages of people who just get to scrap their recent Christmas memories. And I really liked this page, which has such a hip take on the Christmas theme. I love the mixture of clean lines and the little bit of messiness she added. Definitely one to pick up for my treasure box!

 

Goal by hondachicc
Staying on the cool side of things … I totally dig this page. Love the cool photo crop, and the little embellishments she added to the page. Great take on a soccer layout!

 

A Thousand Years by ovaltine
Next up, I got this little pretty thing. The reason I like this page so much is because it just looks like so many of the traditional pages that are out there. I love the messy paper she used, and the embellies she used add just the perfect finishing touch for this layout!

 

Tennessee by Kimberly Morris
Wow! This page is just so perfect, with the map, that pretty little cluster and the road side. Great job with the shadows, and what a fun idea to clip the photos to the shape of the state of Tennessee!

 

Bear Hugs by Traumelfe
Of course, with Valentine’s around the corner, I can’t overlook all the lovey-dovey pages in the galleries, and this one definitely deserves a little finger-pointing! It’s got a beautiful composition, and the photo is just lovely!

 

Mon petit cote … by Lynne-Marie
This is as far as my french goes, but nonetheless the page deserves to be added to my treasure chest. I love the composition, and what about the fun photo crop? Just saying: Oh la la!

 

Sweetheart by Marlen
Let me finish with this little pretty gem. What beautiful photos to scrap with, and I think she did a great job with allowing these photos to shine on this page.

 

With this I’m off for today, but I have every intention of getting back into my blogging routine, so I hope to “see” you again tomorrow. Wish y’all a great week, and happy (almost) Valentine’s!
