Challenge #43: Digital Scraplift

Within the last few years digital has taken the scrapbooking world into a new realm. While I haven't tried my hand at it (yet), there are some AMAZING digi artists out there. My personal favorite is an online friend of mine--Leah. Leah creates layouts in both digital form and paper. I love her funky, yet simplistic style. Leah also has a digital shop online--Funky Playground. Make sure to stop over and check it out!

This week the Nilsa from Scrap Whispers challenges you to scraplift your favorite digital scrapbooker. I decided to scraplift one of Leah's digital layouts.

Here's Leah's layout:


And here's my take on it:


I also want to take note that this is my 100th layout of the year!!!!! I still have a lot of work cut out for me if I plan to make that 150 goal, but I'm still very excited! Whoo hoo!!!!

Scrap Whispers Blog Hop: Rosie

I am very excited to announce that the Scrap Whispers Blog Hops are BACK!!! Each month we will showcase a different member of Scrap Whispers. The design team members will pick one of the members layouts and use it as their inspiration for one of their own layouts.

Sarah had some great layouts to lift! I choose this really sweet layout to scrap this birth announcement.

Here is Sarah's layout:


And here's my scraplift of the layout:

All of Sarah's layouts were all so cool! I had a really hard time choosing just one. In the end I just really loved the row of buttons on the left. The simplicity of this layout really drew me in.

Challenge #39: Mismatched Letters

This week on the Scrap Whispers challenge we have a FUN one for you!!!! I love layouts that use mismatched letters. They are so fun and whimsical! Our challenge for you this week is to create a layout with a mismatched title. Use a combination of at least three different fonts and/or colors. Mix and match however you please!

Here's my take on the challenge (using the August "Life is a Zoo" Moments to Remember kit):

I used 7 different stickers letters in this layout. Such a great way to use up those extra letters in your pack. I really need to do this more often!!!
