Member Spotlight:
Sandy
The DSP Member Spotlight for February is the amazing and talented Sandy – better known as sandygb.
This former DET member is a real night owl, who can frequently be found “lurking in the hallways of DSP in the wee hours of the morning,” when Sandy says she gets most of her scrapping done!
“My inspiration comes from the kits themselves. I tend to scrap with one single kit at a time, and each kit inspires me to "paint" a different picture.”
How does she achieve a gallery full of simply gorgeous layouts? Sandy says “I tend to throw everything on my page and see what sticks.”
We are sure that you will agree that the result is spectacular, with layouts you are sure to fall in love with... From stunning scenery and nature, to the simply gorgeous Harley, and members of Sandy's human family - this is one gallery packed with layouts that you will want to scraplift this month!
Congratulations Sandy. Thank you for being our member spotlight. Be inspired by

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.
