LUCY, you got some 'splainin to do!

Tell me all about it! Post the link to your March scraplift here, and let me know how you took your inspiration!

For all of our reference:

Okay, I got mine done!

First off, I loved the color scheme. I went a bit more muted, to match the feeling of the photo, but used the same basic colors.

I really liked the strong graphic print around the outside of the page, but used a striped paper to frame my photo instead.

I also liked the scalloped piece, but took it all the way across the page, and anchored it with stitching, which was also pulled from the inspiration piece.

OoOh! I love it, Gen! Hopefully I'll be able to get to mine today.

Have a quick question for you though . . . your background . . . is it a white digital paper or simply the white background that you created the layout on? Whenever I see a white background I'm always curious to know if they used a digital paper or if they simply used the white background in the editing software.

It's just the standard white background. I use that 90% of the time.

My scraplift page.

I liked the layout of the original page, so... well, I stole it. Outright. I made a template from it and then searched my stash for a similar pattern for the background. I found it in another kit by the same designer, Family Tree. I then filled the rest in using things from that kit, though the kit doesn't have anything scalloped. so I borrowed a piece of rick-rack in a coordinating color from another kit. After I filled everything in I went looking for the right photo in my stash, something family-related. I found a photo of my mother-in-law that I think worked well.

Shannon, what a clever idea to use the ric-rac to mimic the scalloped edge! I'll have to remember that.



Here's my page: Spring is in the Air

I love using stacked photos, so I continued that in my page. The scalloped edge ended up being more like a pinked one, and instead of the cloud an umbrellas, I opted for one larger embellishment (the tree) ... and then I just HAD to add the cute birdie LOL
