Challenge Spotlight: Scraplift<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ll admit that I’m a purist when it comes to scraplifting another scrapper’s layout. I think that if I like a layout enough to want to lift it, I should try to stay as faithful to the original as I can while still making it my own. I also know that scrapping is an intensely personal craft and we all approach it from our own points of view; this is very true when it comes to scraplifting. There are so many options! Let’s take a look at this month’s layouts and analyze them a bit to see if we can figure out what the scrapper chose to emulate. But first, the Scraplift Challenge<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is hosted by Dagi<\/strong>; she chooses the layout inspiration and this month she chose this layout by Effie3047<\/strong><\/a>. Each of the Challenge<\/strong> layouts is linked to the Gallery<\/strong><\/a><\/span> so you can pop in and offer the scrapper some praise. Just click on the scrapper’s “handle”. This is the inspiration layout for reference.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These layouts are in the order they were posted to the Gallery. First is this blue confection from dhariana<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. She chose to follow the blueprint of the layout fairly closely, with the photo, journal card and elements in the same arrangement. The doodle circles are her own touch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

kristal<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has also stayed close to the blueprint, but kept her layout crisp by increasing white space. She also has used a wooden background like the original has.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For her layout, lulutoo<\/strong><\/a><\/span> chose a much brighter palette, but stayed true to the basic layout and the wood background. I like that she went with a narrower paper strip behind her elements and tilted her photo a smidge… an original touch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tbear<\/strong><\/a><\/span>‘s layout is quite different, but you can see the basic shape of the Challenge<\/strong> layout. A single photo, a journal card, a Christmas theme with carefully-constructed clusters and a similar palette are what ties her layout to Effie<\/strong>‘s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can see the bones of the Challenge<\/strong> layout here in robinoes66<\/strong><\/a><\/span>‘ entry. She’s gone with a dark palette, positioned her photo in the same place but omitted the journal card. She used a good amount of paint and her primary colours are beautifully supported by her black background.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To me, ayla63<\/strong><\/a><\/span>‘s layout looks more like a scraplift of robinoes66<\/strong>‘s layout than it does Effie<\/strong>‘s! And that’s alright. Their visions are very similar. I like that she chose to turn her photo into a sketch, which makes her layout unique.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love what Jill<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has done; she went with a portrait-oriented photo rather than a landscape and used gears instead of paper circles, while adding a couple of extra paper pennants. Her layout looks quite different than the original, but still has the important components.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pippin<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has stayed true to the original layout in most ways. Her blended background is beautiful, but can we talk about that photo? So cute!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For her layout, pinklily<\/strong><\/a><\/span> went bigger with her photo and paper strip base, supersized her title, flipped the script horizontally and kept her clusters small.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AJsRandom<\/strong><\/a><\/span> chose to increase the size of her photo but has kept most other aspects faithful to Effie<\/strong>‘s layout. The twined strings that anchor her journal card are a great substitute for the strings of lights Effie<\/strong> used.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I like that breoni<\/strong><\/a><\/span> chose to place a row of circular photos across the lower third of her layout rather than clusters. That krafty background really makes her photos pop off the page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The choices Kristi Martin<\/strong><\/a><\/span> made of a large photo and minimal embellishments against a black canvas really gives her layout presence in the Gallery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our second Hanukkah layout by zanthia<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is another faithful lift. She made her title really do the heavy lifting here! The word-cloud journal card is a clever twist too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Treemoon<\/strong><\/a><\/span> took a really different approach by enlarging EVERYTHING. She kept the horizontal aspect and the basics of the design. Her palette compliments her photo so nicely and I love the clusters she’s anchored her banner with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ve had some really miserable weather here in the BC Interior. We have a ridiculous amount of snow and it’s bitterly cold. I was planning a road trip to see my parents and bring them a box full of treats for the holidays but we were snowed in! I hope wherever you are and whatever you’re celebrating, you’re warm and safe!<\/p>\n
