Member Spotlight: HeatherL - Heather
The DSP Member Spotlight for April is the inspiring Heather L.
Heather describes herself as being passionate about the people and things she loves – something that shines in all her layouts.
She says she is not sure she has a definite style yet, but loves to experiment and lift other ideas: “I currently seem to be enjoying a more graphic style using blend modes and filters. I like the white space look but I tend to want to fill the page. I am always looking for balance as well as the creative edge,” says Heather, who adds that she loves to experiment with styles.
This self-confessed scrapbooking addict says she receives “inspiration from the work of many talented scrappers out there in the digital world.”
“Lately I seem to be paying more attention to the element of design in my environment either through photography, advertisements or interesting people and locations. I find myself looking at everything with a more critical eye, imagining it coming to life in a layout.”
Congratulations Heather. Thank you for being our member spotlight.

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.
