Scraplift #17 - Fun and Funky!!! UPDATED FINALLY!

I have finally found the next Scraplift, and it's by Leora.

Here's what Leora says about her layout: Made this for Katja's challenge on the mssg. board. I used the new Flea Market Chic kit...LOVE IT!!! Since I didn't see a stamp that I wanted to use, I used the ppr to create a stamp with the magic wand tool. (the flowers at the bottom). Fonts: Century Gothic, 2peas flower girl and SP Purkage Journaling reads: growing up is a right of passage in this life. I understand that it's just something you have to do but it doesn't make it any easier for me to watch. I see you blossoming into a beautiful young lady and reality has set in. It makes me realize that I need to savor each moment. It happens all too quickly. I love you my dear Ashley.

You can see her layout here, and leave her a comment or two if you get a chance:

I Enjoy Watching You Grow

I love the great picture and the way that she tied such sentimentality in the journaling with such funky elements and made the picture be black and white. It's funny - I never thought I had a style to look at - but I'm noticing that I'm learning more and more about me and my scrapping styles as we do these scraplifts. I hope that you are learning something as well.

I've learned:

1. That I can scraplift to within a 1/4 of an inch of getting the layout right and I'm a bulldog when it comes to using guides and measuring to make sure I have it right.

2. I like the more simple uncluttered layouts. In another life (tee hee) I used to feel like if I bought a kit I had to use ALL the elements and many of the papers that came with it and made a collage style layout. Now I feel that a few well placed elements or no background at all can make a gorgeous statement too.

3. I enjoy turning pictures to sepia and making chipboard letters.

4. I like good journaling

5. And last but not least, I'm a comment whore. I love to get comments on my layouts and when I don't get them, I get paranoid thinking I must have made a stinker layout. :-)

Enjoy! And Scrap-Happy!!! :-)

Here's the lifts!

I absolutely LOVE this picture of Melissa and knew it had to be the one to use for the scraplift! I used the Shabby Princess's Splendid kit and recolorized the bows. I am very happy with the way it came out!







This is Susie's entry and what a great job she did - this is her first entry here at the blog!! "I took this picture shortly after I got my first digital camera.  I loved it so much and this challenge seemed perfect for it.  Thanks for making me finally scrap it.
