scraplifting 101
❤
Always give credit where credit is due. If you are going to post your
scraplifted layout in a gallery, blog or other social media site, be sure
to credit the artist who’s layout gave you the inspiration.
❤
Treat the inspirational layout like a sketch or template by
adjusting photos and elements to suit your needs. A scraplift doesn’t
necessarily mean copying the layout inch for inch. Perhaps it’s the title
alone that inspired you!
❤
Scraplift yourself! Have you created a layout that you absolutely
love? Create it again!
After perusing all of the amazing layouts in
the Summer Reader’s Gallery, it was difficult to
choose just one! I was drawn to the two large,
bright photos of Marielle LeBlanc’s layout and
knew I wanted to try the same design.
❤
I love how she divided the two focal photos
with a colourful, eye-catching border strip. I did
the same, using hexagons punched out from
multiple patterned papers.
❤
Marielle blended various patterns and colours
together so beautifully, leaving white halos
around many of the elements. This eye-catching
technique worked well on my page, too!
❤
Her layered journaling area looked really
cool, inspiring me to fit my journaling around an
embellishment and subtitle.
