Your Friday Dose of Scraplifts

We have another installment of scraplifts from our amazing design team for you. We love seeing how each of them interpret the creativity by their fellow artists.

......................................................................

Our first lift is by Trudi Harrison. She has used this layout created by Anne Jo Lexander as her inspiration.

Here is a little bit from Trudi about what she find inspiring in Anne Jo's work.

Anne Jo has a fabulous sense for negative space design, arrangement and detail. Her creations are a breath of fresh air and at times can be whimsical. I particularly love how her creations will feature multi-photo combinations which tell a story; often of an everyday occurrence. Perfectly placed embellishing allows her photos to shine and hand written journaling tells us the story.

I have taken inspiration from Anne Jo's layout ' So this is us you say?'

I have incorporated the light and dark toning and adapted the design arrangement by rotating it. The embellishing was moved to vertically through the photo's rather than the along the photo edge. I also loved the little rows of the Say It In Crystals hearts across the photo edge and instead of replicating, I have incorporated hearts in my embellishing.

Our next scraplift comes to us from Steph Devlin. Steph has used this beautiful layout by Hege Lundquist.

Steph gives us insight on what she finds creative in Hege's style.

When I was given Hege to scraplift, I was immediately delighted, because I have always adored her use of white space, and I couldn't wait to get started. I chose Heges’s “Summer Feeling” layout because it showcases Hege’s trademark clean vs messy style !! Here's what I discovered looking closely at Hege's beautiful work:

She loves to use white space. Often its splattered with black or coloured blotches
She loves to stamp as an accent on her work.
She often mists with masks, and uses resist canvas on her work.
Hege loves layers underneath her photograph to showcase her image.
She also loves mixing fonts on her pages.

Thanks so much Hege, you really inspired me !!!!!

The next source of inspiration for our feature was designed by Maiko Kosugi. Maiko's piece inspired Karola Witczak to create her scraplift.

Here is what Karola said about using Maiko's work.

I was very happy when we started scraplift idea this month and I had so much pleasure creating my today's projects. Why? Because I scraplifted amazingly talented Maiko! She is absolutely sweet as a person, exactly as her projects are!

I found some similar points between our styles - we both creating rich, detailed layouts and we love adding tons of flowers, layers and embellies. Personally I love Maiko's style for her very feminine touch, she create stunning projects which are sometimes very soft and dreamy, sometimes bold and very rich, but always it's an amazing effect! Love how Maiko adding to her projects some painting and other mediums and starting my today's projects I was focused on the wall mask motif painted with gesso and I little bit of puffy paint. I wanted create similar composition and photo arrangement as she created on her gorgeous "Time" layout using beautiful felt flowers. It had a huge pleasure creating this project and thank you so much Maiko for this fantastic inspiration!!

Our last scraplift for today was inspired by this layout designed by Stacey Young. What a artist piece!

The lovely Leslie Ashe used Stacey's layout as her lift and has created a stunning piece of her own.

I chose Stacey Young’s “Gorgeous Little Man” layout for many reasons. The beautiful design, amazing details & that gorgeous color palette are just a few of many of reasons.
Right now the turquoise & cream colors together, splashed with a touch of contrasting color is one of my favorite things to use in scrapbooking.
I used Stacey’s bracket design as well as the lovely banners, birdhouses & birds. I even used some of the same papers she used, Although I changed a few things up to reflect my style.

I even used gesso to tone down some of the bright colors and added some other colors.
I love Stacey’s use of dimension & tried to incorporate that as well as I created. I love her son’s precious photo’s with that bright colorful cap. I chose a photo of similar colors & decided instead of three, I’d just use one square photo to match my design.

Thank you Stacey for ALWAYS inspiring me!
