Scraplift THIS!

Inspiration is everywhere! But then we sit down at our scrap table, or on the floor like SOME of us prefer...ahem...to find out our inspiration has suddenly escaped out the back door! What to do?!? Try picking a favorite layout that you have seen recently that really spoke to you! It could be the placement of each element you love, or the sweet photo, the gorgeous colors...or even the products which were used in such a creative way that is simply genius. What jumped out at you? Pick one or two elements from the project and use that as a jumping off point! Pretty soon your creativity will come back in full force.

 

I have a folder titled, "Inspiration", on my computer that I save projects to every time I fall in love with one. When my mojo is out the window I peruse the folder and am recharged in no time at all. And, of course, I have an artsy Pinterest board, or two, with fun projects. Pssst...just don't let Pinterest suck you in or you won't get ANYTHING scrapped! ;)

 

It's okay to hit that brick wall after a long day. We've all been there! That's what we are here for though...to help you get the creative juices going AGAIN so you can record those wonderful memories you've been busy creating!

 

So, here's a challenge to YOU! Save our scraplift project at the top... then create a layout, or other project, based on one element that you love about it! Share with us on our social media so we can see your gorgeous creations! We'd love to pin YOUR work...to inspire others, and keep the creative circle going! We're ALL in this together! ~Sharon

 

Starting off our lifts of Nine's amazing piece is this sweet project by Camilla Ekman! We love how Camilla just took the inspirational piece and made it her own! let's see what inspired Camilla.

"I really loved Nine's way to center everything around the photo, making it dominate. I was also inspired by the delicate use of mixed-media products. I made a somewhat more colourful interpretation using the fabulous Cigar Box Secrets collection and flowers." ~Camilla

Louise Nelson also created a stunning lift of Nine's project for YOU today! Here's what inspired her!

 

"I tried to emulate the paper layering effect with the use of resin frames- which are also layered. To ensure that they didn't crack when sectioning them I used a Dremel drill with a cutting burr. I also  used some of the wonderful Prima Marketing Art Ingredients both in, and around the frames, and in the stenciled bubble pattern." ~Louise

Nadia Cannizzo's layout is fresh and fun with a completely different color palette (featuring the Firefly line.) And that's what makes scraplifting so FUN! You're not copying but, instead, just lifting the parts that YOU want! Nadia mainly focused on repeating the main composition of the layout. So you'll see similar placement of the photo, embellishments, and artsy touches. It's the same basic layout...just with different elements...elements that work with Nadia's beautiful style!

Our last inspiring piece is by Anna Hababicka! Anna's wonderful style comes through loud and clear, but with similar touches that are familiar from Nine's layout. Can you see them? The photo placement is on the right side (even though Anna's photos are boyish and FUN), the use of white space is similar (even though Anna added more products and splashes of gesso to add layers to the design), and the title placement is similar...while Anna made it work for HER style and choice of products. And the result? Gorgeousness!

What an awesome challenge, everyone's take so b=different and yet so spot on!
I decided to take the plunge and do it. I was immediately taken by the absence of flowers and the tons of layering. Here's mine
