SCRAPLIFT SATURDAY: SHARI LEONARD AND BANNING LANE

HAPPY HALLOWEEN *mwhahahahhaa* <— that’s my attempt at a scary laugh

We have two stunning Halloween themed scraplift projects for you today first up is Banning Lane:

“I decided to scrap lift a layout by Suse Fish from Faith Hope & Washi. She is amazing and I always love her style so that choice was a no brainer. Since it is Halloween I decided to use Halloween colors instead of the bright and cheery colors that Suse used. I’ll admit that my hand stitched title took much longer than I wanted, and at one point I thought about giving up. I am glad that I didn’t!”

I’m glad she didn’t too, otherwise we wouldn’t have been given the opportunity to not only enjoy the layout but get to see her process too. Thanks Banning 🙂

You can see more of Banning on her personal channel here and here’s her process video:

Next up we have the equally talented Shari Leonard who is making her debut on our channel – yay Shari 🙂 she’s opted to scraplift the mood board and made a shadow box; now how cool is that?

You can hear all about it in her process video here:

And here are a few close up images:

I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween and be sure to share any trick or treat stories or photographs in our Facebook group.

*spooky wave goodbye*

Happy Saturday Everyone!!!

We all know what Saturday means; yup it’s scraplift Saturday again… yay!!!! To add to the fun Sarah and Nicole scraplifted each other and this is what they came up with.

“I lifted Nicole’s subject of the peacock and loved how I had so many perfect supplies just sitting in my stash to make this layout.”

Isn’t it just gorgeous; I love peacock’s although sometimes when they follow you around it can get a little scary! 😉

Here’s Sarah’s video showing you how she came up with this beautiful page and if you want to see more of Sarah’s work here’s the link to her personal YouTube:

Hi all…

Yup it’s Saturday and you know what that means….Scraplift Saturday – whoohoo… isn’t it just the most awesome compliment to have a layout of yours scraplifted by someone else? ScrapsbyJen and abcdeli took this phenomenal layout by Veera Saarivuo and made it their own.

Let’s take a look at Jen’s layout first and in her words – “I had fun making this layout based off of Veera’s. I used quite old photos of my sons and niece and nephew at Easter time. Easter really was the side story here as cutting the photos into circles really highlighted by I wanted to use these photos… their cute little faces and excitement.”

It’s just beautiful and you can watch her process here:

Now for abcdeli who had this to say about her stunning take on the layout – “I cut a ton of circles with my Big Shot. I used papers from the Documentary collection by Dear Lizzy. it was an easy and fast layout but I love the result!”

It always amazes me how two people using the same layout can have such beautiful but totally different results. Here’s abcdeli’s video:

Don’t forget to pop back tomorrow for Spotlight Sunday!

Aloha Scrappers!! Happy Weekend!! I hope this week has been well for you and are about to have a great weekend! I am looking forward to enjoying some sun, and scrapping!

This Saturday we have Alicia Jinhee on the channel. She is using a layout made by the talented, JC Chris.

Here is what the original looked like.

I love her take on circles!! The layout she made is so pretty and I love how was able to tame down the mood board. I love bright colors but sometimes it’s nice to be able to tone the color down too. Here is a look at her layout.

You can watch her process video here.

You can also find more process videos on Alicia’s personal Youtube channel here.

Also on the channel today Is Scifi Scrapper, or Emma as you may know her as. Emma is scrap lifting a layout by Stephanie Bryan. Here is what the original looked like.

Emma’s layout looks so different from the original layout, mostly from all the color! I love the little things Emma did to make her layout different. Things like adding vellum hearts, rub ons and the big black title. Even just by adding lots of bold colors and patterns in her papers it gives her layout a totally different feel. And I love it. It feels so happy and youthful. Here are some close ups of her layout.

You can watch her process video here.

You can also see more process videos over on Emma’s personal Youtube Channel.

I hope you stop by tomorrow and check out what the new inspiration piece is and see the new spotlight video on our Youtube Channel.

Until next time, enjoy your weekend!!

Aloha Scrappers!!

Welcome!!! It’s Saturday and we are Scraplifting on The Crafty Maven Getaway!!

The layout they are using is this one…..

This is layout was posted on the Hey Little Magpie Blog by Rachell Millington. The colors on this layout are so soft and that cat is so cute!!

Froggie 251, or Kelly, is using a picture of her daughter. I love how she added a bit of the purple from the inspiration in her layout. I also love how she used the gold foiled Heidi Swapp PL cards for her layers. The hints of gold in the embellishments match with the PL cards and add to a really pretty softness. This layout looks so good!!

You can watch Kelly’s process video on The Crafty Maven Getaway here. You can also click here and see more of Kelly’s layout’s on her Youtube Channel. Here is Kelly’s layout. . . .

Sarah scrapped a really adorable photo of her daughters and how they love bath time!! The colors in the 6×6 papers she used are amazing!! They really capture the fun of bath time!! I love how the layering turned out, with a tag sticking out and the use of an old tag package. You can watch her process here. You can also watch more process videos from Sarah on her Youtube Channel here. Here is a look at Sarah’s layout…..

Hope you enjoyed the inspiration today!! I know I really enjoyed the videos today!!

Scraplift Saturday: M. Barone and Rachel Reynolds

Aloha Scrappers!! Happy Saturday!! This weekend is a fun and busy one in the United States, since we celebrate Labor Day on Monday! It’s like one last chance to bbq and enjoy the summer, now that fall time is right around the corner. In Hawaii it doesn’t quite feel like the fall but with I am hoping this fall is sunnier than this summer, we have been hit with tons of rain, my town had 10 inches just from last month. I am welcoming the cooler weather though!

On to what’s on the Channel today!! Today both Rachel Reynolds and M, Barone are scrap lifting!!

Marianne is scraplifting a layout from Nancy Damiano using the Summer Vibes Collection from Simple Stories!! This original layout is fun and colorful while having a lot of white space. Here is a look at that layout, you can find it posted on the Pinterest board for Simple Stories or their blog.

Marianne’s Layout is just as fun!! I love all the embellishments see used on her layout!! Perfect for a summer, pool picture!! I love how she showed us that even though she followed the scrap lift really close, your pictures and stories really does help make the layout your own. Small things like adding washi tape under the embellishments added a personal touch and I love the way that looks!! You can see Marianne’s layout on The Crafty Maven Getaway here. You can also find more layouts over on her personal Youtube channel.

Rachel Reynolds is scraplifting a layout from Pinterest, from Christine Irion. It’s a gorgeous layout, that really makes me feel Fall is on it’s way. Just looking at the original layout I can smell the crisp leaves, taste that tart and sweet cider, and feel the nip in the clear air. Here is a look at the original.

Rachel’s layout is using the Simple Stories I Am Collection. I love how bright and cheerful the papers reflect the tone of the layout! I love the layers sticking out behind the photos and journaling card! And The Title is so fun!! Rachel did an excellent job with this layout!! Here is it is!!

You can watch her process video, here. You can see more more videos on Rachel’s personal Youtube channel.

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you are inspired!! Come back tomorrow for Spotlight Sunday. We will be getting a better look at Maggie Mylow (or Lisa as many of us know here as). I will also be sharing the inspiration piece for next week!!

Also I want to remind everyone that on September 19th, on our Facebook group we will be hosting an online crop, with tons of inspiration and challenges, maybe even a chance to Periscope or Face to Face time with some of us!! Us ladies are busy planning that and getting excited for that!!

See you back here tomorrow!!!

Aloha My scrappy Friends!!! Sorry this blog is a little late. This week has went by so fast, with school and housework, all the usually stuff that goes on with life. I hope today and this weekend has been nice for you scrappers and you have had a chance to enjoy your family, friends, craft time, great weather and excellent food!!

On Scraplift Saturday, Christy from Christy’s Beautiful Life made an awesome layout. I love all the thought and love she always puts into all the layouts she posts. The story and picture is first and the design always fit perfect with her story!!

Today Christy is scrap lifting a layout she saw on the Maggie Holmes blog. I love her interpretation!! The photo of her son is so precious too!! What a cutie!! I love how she mixed an older line from Crate Paper that is boy themed with elements from the Maggie Holmes Confetti line. It was perfect for scrapbooking her son’s first birthday!!

Here is a look at her layout!

Here is the link to her process video on The Crafty Maven Getaway YT Channel. You can also see more videos on Christy’s personal Youtube channel here.

Hope you have a great weekend and are inspired to create something pretty and meaningful!!

Scraplift Saturday: DeAnna Scraps and TinaGale

August 22, 2015October 7, 20151 Comment

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!
