Focus On Monday: Scraplifts

Happy Monday everyone! This week we are celebrating the scraplift! A scraplift is when you take direct inspiration from the idea behind a layout or design, and copy or modify it for your own layout. It is a fun way to get your creative juices flowing and to replicate a great design with your own twist.

To kick off the week, Leslie has scraplifted a fellow design team member and I have chosen to lift a fan.

Leslie gained inspiration from Adrienne Alvis, a Lily Bee creative team member. Adrienne's page:

Leslie states, "I chose this layout by fellow DT member, Adrienne for the way she used a GIANT photo. I decided to change my layout up a bit by making my photo be vertical.

Leslie explains, "My title is going vertically along the side of my layout and I clustered embellishments to the right on my photo."

Supplies: Sweet Shoppe (Chit Chat Stickers, Circle & Tag Stickers, Label Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, Lemondrop Paper, Marshmallow Paper, Gumball Paper, Licorice Whip Paper); Pinwheel (Letter Stickers, Embellishment Bundle, Chipboard Stickers, Circle Tag Stickers, Cherry Blossom Paper); Destination (6x6 Tiny Tablet, Letter Stickers, Chit Chat Stickers, Circle Tag Stickers).

I went to the Lily Bee Flickr page and picked a layout that was created by a fan. I chose this beautiful page by Aleksandra Gadji.

Here is my take on her page. I used the same overall design with the long horizontal line along the top third of the page.

I replicated Aleksandra's cluster of hearts by using the globe, airplane and buttons along the right hand side of the page. I used the baker's twine to make the chipboard airplane come to life.

Supplies: Destination (Papers: Boarding Pass, Tickets, Landmark; Chit Chat Stickers, Label Stickers; Chipboard Stickers; Embellishment Bundle); Persnickety (Paper: Finicky)

Scraplifting can be a fun practice! Be sure to either ask permission or give credit to the orignal creator of the design. Then simply have fun making it your own!
