Scraplift the January 2009 DSP Spotlight
Member Spotlight: Kathleen08
The start to a New Year should be bright, fresh, and sunny – Kathleen (kathleen08) is a perfect choice to feature as our January 2009 DSP Member Spotlight!
Always happy, with a smile on her face, Kathleen is a popular DSP member. She describes her style as: “mostly clean and simple, although with bits of graphic style and more ‘cluttered’ layers and groupings thrown in for good measure.” Kathleen loves to “showcase a great photo”, and wants “enough photos to tell the story, and enough embellishment to dress up a page, but not over the edge.” She draws her inspiration from everyday life, the things she sees around her, her daughter, funny moments, and the day-to-day things she wants to remember.
Congratulations Kathleen and thank you for being our member spotlight. Be sure to check out Kathleen’s Gallery, read more about Kathleen HERE
SCRAPLIFT CHALLENGE:
Choose one of those gorgeous layouts and "lift" it! Copy it, giving her credit, and add your own photos, kit of your choice, journaling. Make it your own but inspired by her!!
Post a link to your scraplift layout in this thread and you could be a random winner of a DSP store coupon!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
