Aloha Scrappers! Yay, It is the weekend!!! I love the weekend, we can relax. I can scrap all day sometimes!! This makes me happy. I also get to binge watch Youtube!! That makes me even more happy. I find so much inspiration on Youtube. And if I am scrapping I feel like I get to scrap with my friends even though they are miles away.

Today on The Crafty Maven Getaway DeAnna Scraps and TinaGale worked together to scrap lift a layout by Mari Clarke. The original layout by Mari has circles and banners, and is gorgeous.

DeAnna started the month off with a kit she made with her stash that was inspired by the inspiration pieces. When she started her layout she had to balance for her using this kit and being inspired by the layout by Mari. She went with her gut, and I love this. There are many times when we are inspired by so much and we need to learn how to not be distracted by all this inspiration. As good as inspiration is in the end we want our layouts to tell our stories and be us. Sometimes we need to set the inspiration aside and go with our gut. This is what she did, and I am glad she did. Her final layout tried out fabulous!! I love the detail in it, with the metallic texture paste. The circle elements in clusters and the layers banners. You can watch DeAnna’s process video here.  You can also watch more process videos on her Youtube channel here.

TineGale has also used Mari’s layout as well.  I love TinaGale’s take. All the details on her page are amazing. I love the cut file she used. Seeing the background peeking through all the circles! All the layers and bits really tie together the layout too. I think the tiny tile alphas for the title work so well with the playfulness of her layout. You can watch her process video here.  You should also check out TinaGale’s personal Youtube channel, she has so much on her channel.  Here is a look at TinaGale’s layout.

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you have a chance to be creative today!! Come back tomorrow for our Spotlight Sunday with Asa!! We will also be sharing the new week’s inspiration piece!
