June Scraplift Challenge

[Quinn]

A great fine art instructor once told me that one of the best ways to improve your own art is to copy art you admire. The theory behind that is that you learn more about your own style through imitating other's styles & thus make your own art better. In art class, it was recommended to copy the classics': DaVinci, Monet, Raphael, etc.

For this challenge, we're going to "copy" or "scraplift" layouts we admire that have been posted in our forum or each user's DSM gallery. Post a link to the LO you're scraplifting, including who designed it, along with your completed LO & credits.

(Don't forget to leave some praise when looking through DSM user galleries. Let's litter this place with warm fuzzies!!! :ILoveIt:)

[Quinn]

Okay, here's mine:
I scraplifted AngieI's LO that you can see HERE (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=20&pictureid=321).
And here's my LO:

[caulensmom]

[Kelli West]

Quinn, YOU GO GIRL (snap, snap snap)!! You are so fast at putting up such GREAT,FUN challenges!! I can't wait to get started!!

[digiferfer]

Cute page Quinn, when did you find time to do it? If we have the whole month to work on this I will give it a try, because it may take me longer than usual to get a page done.

[Quinn]

Cute page Quinn, when did you find time to do it?
Thanks Jenny! Amazingly, all 3 kids took naps at the same time this afternoon & I did it then. P.S. How's life with your 3?

[digiferfer]

Thanks Jenny! Amazingly, all 3 kids took naps at the same time this afternoon & I did it then. P.S. How's life with your 3?

Going okay, just because the baby sleeps so much right now. I'm actually going to start working on his announcement right now while he's sleeping and the other two are watching a movie. How is baby Norah doing? hope she is doing okay.

[Quinn]

Norah's doing alright. Today is the big day: test results come back & we find out if she needs more testing... I'm kinda nervous.

How fun that you're working on his announcement! I'm sure it will be fantastic! Can't wait to see it! Thanks for the reminder; I need to get crackin' on Norah's. Can you believe they're both in their third week of life? Time is flying!

[montmeag]

Glad to hear Norah's doing ok. It's scary. I know how you feel. My daughter was 2 weeks old when she somehow got meningitis. We got to spend 3 days in the hospital, too. Yuck. At least my mom could take my son while we were in the hospital. Her mom died the same day we got admitted so she took a few days off from work. She said having our son there helped keep her mind busy. Moms are amazing, aren't they?

[supermombritt]

Quinn I have not read the forum for a few days. What is going on with Norah? I hpe everything is all right.

[April]

Looks great Michelle! Great layout to copy too!

I love the layout you scraplifted of Angie's, Quinn. Your layout is really beautiful too.

[Quinn]

Yay, Michelle! That turned out fabulous! What a fun LO of Lynnette's, too! I hadn't seen that one before.

Thanks, April! BTW, just noticed you have a blog!!! YAY!!!

[Kelli West]

Way cute LO Michelle. Lynnette is very talented at her LO's!!

[lanz]

Here's my scraplift challenge HERE (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=46&pictureid=363) I scraplifted Jennifer Chase LO found HERE (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/picture.php?albumid=46&pictureid=363[/IMG) using the Oh Boy CD

[lanz]

I did that wrong the layout I used is HERE (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/showthread.php?t=2515&page=2)

[crystalclark87]

Very cute guys! I'll have to do one too.. I still have another week.. June has been crazy!

[Quinn]

great job, Lana! Look at you scrapping with a new baby in tow!!! That's a cute LO of Jennifer's, too! Crystal, you technically have more than a week (like 2 weeks, in fact)... Phew!

[lanz]

Same to you Quinn. Glad to know that baby Norah is feeling better and that she is home and happy.

[RubySass]

Thanks for the challenge, Quinn. It seems like I always copy someone! I hadn't seen some of these other LOs, so now I have more to scraplift. Thanks! I don't know how to post it, but I scraplifted Alishaw's "9 Months Old" LO. Thanks for the inspiration Alishaw.

[Kelli West]

RubySass that is soo cute! i love how you used the baseballs for a border!! great job!

[crystalclark87]

Very cute page! I too love the baseball border!

[Quinn]

what a great LO!! I love your color scheme & use of elements, RubySass!

[Quinn]

BTW, to post a link to the LO you scraplift just find the LO and copy the web address. Then you can type "Alishaw's LO" in your text, highlight that & click on the button in the message area that looks like a world with a "link" chain. That brings up the hyperlink box where you paste the LO's web address into. That should make it so when anyone clicks on "Alishaw's LO" in your text, it will redirect them to the web page with Alishaw's LO on it. Lemme know if I made this confusing. I feel like I'm stumbling all over this explanation. Great question, though!

[caulensmom]

I am just letting you all know that I have found my page to scraplift and will work on it right MEOW!!!

[caulensmom]

Ok I took Jills idea from this layout. (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=26&pictureid=201)

This is my version....

[caulensmom]

ok I had to steal one more page because I admire Brooks style.
This is her layout (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=45&pictureid=356) I LOVED to scraplift.:ILoveIt:

Here is mine......

[Angie I]

Great scraplifts girls. Here is my take on one Brooke did (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=45&pictureid=362)

[caulensmom]

Very cool Angie! I love it! :)

[April]

Awesome layouts!!!

[digiferfer]

Ok, here is mine but I don't totally love it. I scraplifted Jill's page here (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=26&pictureid=192). I like her page way way better, that's why I picked her's but mine page is kind of eh. Oh well, I got one done anyway.

[caulensmom]

Jenny its awesome! I dont think anyones is better than the others, we just each apply our own stlyes to similar pages making even the most copied page individualized (sp).

So....your pages are AWESOME...WOOOO GO JENNY!! hahaha How is your new baby doing? Are you managing to get ANY sleep? :)

[Quinn]

Yay Amy, Angie & Jenny! I totally Love those scraplifts!!!

[montmeag]

Great LOs girls!

[chryslergreen]

Wow! How FUN is this challenge!? I can't wait to play - it will be so hard to choose, I admire everyone's stuff! I love looking at everyone's lifts and seeing how they personalized them. Great job everyone!

[chryslergreen]

I finally finished mine! I chose Quinn's layout "Mess Queen", you can see it here:
http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=3&pictureid=10

Here is my attempt:
http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=12&pictureid=462

Great challenge!

[montmeag]

Very cute Lynette! Is your life back to normal yet? You obviously can scrapbook again, that's a step!

[Kim Hansen]

That's a great job Lynette!

[Robyn]

Here's my take on Grandma's Backyard (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=13&pictureid=39)-Lynette I love this LO-thanks for the inspiration. :)

[chryslergreen]

Very cute Lynette! Is your life back to normal yet? You obviously can scrapbook again, that's a step!

sort of - yes I can scrapbook again so that is a big step! It's fun to be in a new place, but also tough when you don't know anyone yet. Good thing I can chat on the forum huh!

[montmeag]

Yes, you'll always have the forum!:)
