Design team member Kristen Swain was inspired by a recent layout by fellow team member Eva Pizarro.  Here’s what Kristen had to say … “I am in love with simple clean layout design. However, it’s not the style I typically look to when creating. Using Eva’s layout as inspiration made this whole Valentine layout come together so much faster for me. I loved her use of squares and the small embellished paper squares, plus the cute scalloped border surrounding the whole inside. I was able to mix and match Pebbles papers and embellishments to create this sweet layout of my girls.”

This style involves several hours of work that is why I am amazed with simple and direct layouts that plays with shapes and placements instead of dimension and layering.”

This layout is of my friend Natalie and her three darling kiddos!”

Design team member Ria Mojica took a cue from Jennifer Yates adorable pet page for her sweet layout.  Here’s what Ria had to say … “For this assignment, I decided to scraplift a layout by Jennifer Yates. I love Jennifer’s colorful and eye-catching style! In this particular layout, I love how she used the circles as a border and took a cue from her on how to mix papers from Cats & Dogs and New Arrival Girl — to perfectly match for my photo! I added my own twist by adding a border sticker from New Arrival Girl and using the green printed paper as my dominant color.”

Design team member Wendy Sue Anderson lifted a layout by team member LG Belarmino.  Here’s what Wendy had to say … “I decided to scraplift this fun layout by LG.  I have had that fun border punch in my basket for months and just haven’t taken it out yet.  When I saw LG’s layout I was very inspired to open it up and use it!  I loved the way she layered the strips with the random colors behind each circle.  The only difference is that I used a slightly larger circle punch to punch out the patterned paper, coated the entire back of the strips with spray adhesive, and just popped the circles on, then layered them onto the background – it was super fast and I love the result.  I also used two photos, butterflies, and photos of my sweeties!  Thanks for the inspiration, LG! :o)”

Design team member Laura Vegas decided to do a lift of fellow team member Eva Pizarro’s layout.  Here’s what Laura had to say … “I just loved Eva Pizarro’s “Goodbye 2010″ layout, and thought it would be perfect for my scraplift. The first thing that caught my eye, was the grid pattern that she arranged her photos and the paper squares in. That totally fits my style of scrapbooking. I love how she added a wide assortment of embellishments to the squares of pattern paper. Pulling papers and embellishments from lots of different collections is so much fun, and something that I like to do as well. I also drew from the colors she used on her layout. She went with greens, pinks, and yellows. While I choose to use pinks, yellows, and oranges, mixed with a touch of green. And I just noticed that she machine stitched around her squares of pattern paper, as I was typing this. Which is something I also did on my layout.”

Design team member Guiseppa Gubler created a remembrance layout based on an original layout by Zoe Nemburt.  Here’s what Guiseppa had to say … “My cousin’s cat recently had to be put down because it had cancer.  She wanted a special remembrance layout to hang on her wall and she asked me if I would do it.  I knew exactly what I wanted to do, the “Cats and Dogs” collection (of course) and I wanted to scrap lift Zoe’s layout Bailey that she created with the “Cats and Dogs” collection.  I love the way Zoe made this layout pop, so I mimicked some of the design and added a few different ideas of my own.  I am very happy with the end result and I hope my cousin cherishes it for a long time to come!  Special thanks to Zoe for inspiring me too!”

Design team member Stephanie Baxter lifted a layout by fellow team member Jennifer Yates.  Here’s what Stephanie had to say … “I’m pretty much in awe of everything that Jennifer Yates makes, and the layout I chose to scraplift is no exception. I took inspiration from her mix of patterned papers, scalloped edges, journaling strips and the way she clustered all the flower embellishments around the bottom of her photo to use as focal points on my own layout. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for the inspiration, Jennifer!”
