What is SCRAPLIFTING?

A scraplift is basically the act of copying ideas and designs from another persons layout to use in your own pages. Designs or ideas can be copied in whole or in part - You can take the whole thing, or just some aspects of the layout, and use it to make your own.

You may not copy the persons layout picture, erase portions and submit it as a scraplift. The idea is not to erase bits of another persons layout, but to use it for inspiration - like a sketch. You create a layout using the original as a guide - using a kit (either the same one they used or a different one) and your photos and journaling.

Etiquette:
In your description, give credit to the person and layout you scraplifted.
You cannot use a direct scraplift for a competition - why? Because if you both entered the same competition it would be obvious that the layout was a copy - and the judges my penalise you both - very unfair to the original artist.
When can you call it your own? When you have changed it SUBSTANTIALLY - I am not just talking about different photos and kit, I am talking about changing over one third of a layout - so it does not look like the original.
