Cool! I love scraplifts!

Another scraplift? Just kidding. Love to scraplift. It helps my creativity when I see something someone else has done and put my spin on it. Off to go find one I can lift...

This sounds like so much fun Andrea! Thanks for the challenge and for filling in!

OOOO great challenge!! so exciting!! good prizes to shoot for too!

Thanks for stepping in. Love me some scraplifting!

Sounds good to me!!

I went very similar on mine. I found a layout I liked so I chose it. Then I realized I had the same template, so I used it. Then I figured, why not scrap Nemo pics too! So it's quite similar in many areas!!

What a great idea for a challenge Andrea! Thanks for hosting. You rock! :hooray:

Love this Tree of Life LO by RuthieRoo. I was inspired by her color and element choices and the layered look of her photos. And of course, I used the same funderful kit!

I scraplifted RuthieRoo's Tree of Life:

And created this LO:

I based my LO in one my favorites so far, Andrea`s layout of Mike and Sulley, loved the hanging title and the composition:

Fran98765 – Great job! I’m glad you found a page that was so inspirational to you! I like how you tweaked it by making everything a little larger than the original.

Stormer – I love how you blocked your pics, similar but really nice and different. Your mickey pancakes are FANTASTIC!

Hpgirl – Your version is fantastic! The little glittery mickeys are the perfect touch.

CynthiaY2 – so cute! I love the denim along the bottom border. Your pics are fab!

Natalie from PA – fantastic twist on the inspiration page. The offset blocks are great. Love the little pearly/scallop border!

Longhorn – great job grouping your elements, I like the overlap. Love those rounded corners!

Roxana – nice job taking your inspiration and making it your own. The hanging titles you did are perfect!

Pennylayne – love your use of white space and the title work in the upper corner. What a sweet pic!

oh man, i seriously have to choose a LO to lift!! i am horrible at this because i can never narrow it down to one!! so many greats here, off to look =)

I was inspired by QUILTYMOM's great layout ...

http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos/data/500/simi.jpg

Which inspired me to make a page for my sisters roadtrip to Disney last year.

http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...ge_35_JPEG.jpg

(It's not as wonderful as the inspiration layout ... but it was perfect for those road trip photos I had NO idea what to do with)

i was inspired by this page of britt's
http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/ori...omagic_WEB.jpg

and created
http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...opy_Small_.jpg

Oh my goodness to be lifted by Natalie..I'm so flattered. She is already so totally awesome!:woohoo: I need to get busy :scrapbooking:

I was inspired by Britt's Small World LO:
http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...lWorld_WEB.jpg


Here is mine:

Journaling:
Y'all were cracking me up the day
I got out the suitcase! I went in
the closet and came back out.
Nothing looked different, but I
heard y'all giggling. When you popped
out of the suitcase, I had to sit
down on the ground I was laughing
so hard! "We're ready to go to
Disney World!" you said. Well, I was
ready, too. But it was a few more
days before we actually got to go. I
will cherish these pictures always!

Oh man - it was really hard to decide - but I finally settled on this LO by Hobbes130 called Donald's Boat
http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...nalds_Boat.jpg

And here's my version of it: Finding Nemo-The Musical

http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...usical_web.jpg

Teri you are my first ever official scraplift and you have made my day :thanks: I love your layout too, your element placement is perfect :)

Goofy’s girl – I loved your inspiration page too. Great twist on it, I like that frame with the ribbon and the road and title on the bottom.

Gillscott – great twist on Britt’s page! The curvy glittery pieces are awesome. Beautiful photos!

Amazz – soo cute! Great journaling and darling pics. I am going to scraplift YOUR page now :D

Californiateri – I love how you added the little nemo quotes around the pics and the bubble background.

Great job Natalie way better than mine! How do you do it:whistle:

Wow Teri I am going to take it on... I am so worried. I am working on lifting this great layout

Wish me luck!:help:

I lifted Britt's "A Candy Corn California Adventure." It's been in my favorites forever. I'm finishing my 2007 trip so the multi photo format was perfect for this.

Mine "Golden State:"

"King Triton's Carousel"

I loved this layout by Haynay -

http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...neyonIcep1.jpg

So I used the color scheme (which matched the trim on the cookies) and the composition to create my layout from the Christmas Holiday Parade 2005. Most of my layouts for this trip have had a very traditional Christmas feel. It was fun to do a non-Christmas Christmas layout! Thanks for the inspiration Haynay:thanks:

I'm embarrassed to say that it's been a long time since I've had time to scrap a page. :blush:

There are so many great layouts here, and it's so hard to choose just one. So I went back to one I marked as 'favorite' last summer...

I just absolutely love "California Adventure" by Quilty Mom... simple, but very powerful. Such a great photo!
http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...00/dca_-_r.jpg

And here is mine
http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...TeaPartyMK.jpg

I also used this opportunity to try triad colors. I started with the orange in one of the lanterns, and plugged it in to http://colorschemedesigner.com/ to get the other two colors.

Great challenge.

I also picked Nancy's "Kiss the Girl" layout:

http://www.mousescrappers.com/photos...-Ariel-Web.jpg

Here is my layout:

I scraplifted this page by QuiltyMom:
