Member Spotlight: Klamb1111 - Katie
The DSP Member Spotlight for March is Katie – you will know her as Klamb1111.
For someone who says she cannot type, paint or draw, her layouts are pure works of art. Katie says she likes softer style layouts with lighter colors, and loves fantasy layouts, which she finds “easier to create than a more traditional style layouts.”
“The fantasy layouts allow me to paint a picture but since I can not paint or draw I use the kits elements” she says.
Her inspiration comes from the photos she uses in her layouts. “Scrapping, to me, has always been about displaying my photos and making them look as beautiful as possible. Other than that basically anything that has a soft, light, airy feeling to it inspires me.”

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.
Congrats Katie!
