Ugh...apologies for the blurry piks! I can't figure out how to make them sharper!  Back in the day, I sometimes copied/ lifted others' layout ideas for my albums. If someone complimented them, I'd always be sure and tell them it was NOT my design, but a "scrapLIFT".  Anyone wanna share some favorites? This is my all-time fave lift...SO fun to create those columns and the ___ ? (ugh, I can't think of what the draping on the columns is called). I lifted it from the Creating Keepsakes
HERITAGE Album idea book.   This is one lifted from Scrapbooking Secrets by Becky Higgins. I LOVED her layouts, had all her books, etc. I thought her use of wire with the letters was so fun (ugh...again, I apologize that the pik is blurry, but there's a close-up of my wires in the last pik  ) . My niece also loved it so much, she also created a layout like this.    |

I love your take. I'll have to find a layout to try.

mikklynn ....Thank you, I hope you and others will post some.  Back in the early 2000s, (when I scrapbooked A LOT !!!!!!) every time I got a new magazine (fun memories!), I lovvvvved looking at all the new layouts, and I'd put a post-it on the ones that I reallllly loved and wanted to completely copy ("lift") or get ideas from. I still have ALL*** those magazines, and they are FULL of colorful post-its! (Something else I NEED to purge, but just can't do it yet!) (*** Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers, Simple Scrapbooks, PaperKuts, annnd, I think I'm forgetting one).

I never scraplifted and one time I saw a total scraplift from CK win a local store contest. I worked in an LSS for 7 years and I remember ladies coming in and wanting the EXACT items in the magazine layout. No deviation at all!
I did copy a friend's idea, and she probably saw it in a magazine, to silouette cut a figure out of a copy of photo and then pop dot it up over the original photo to make the person 3D. I still like that look on a page!

No one else has " lifts " they wanna share?  Linda .....Yesss!! I knew I was forgetting one and it was bugging me that I couldn't remember. After your post, I googled to make sure that was it, and it brought back fun memories. I have a pik of my brother and I at the beach, laughing soooo hard, and I'm holding the latest copy of "Scrapbooks, etc". He always teased me about my "addiction" to scrapbooking, but it was all in fun. He took me to many lss whenever I visited---so fun! There was a very nice lss in Chantilly, Virginia that had nice, comfy "man chairs" set up so that hubbies / partners could be comfy while the scrapbookers shopped. myboysnme ....I'm not sure from your response if you felt that complete "lifts" were bad? When people asked questions and/or complimented my "lifted" layouts, I'd tell them where I originally found the layout and/or whatever website I saw it on. Many times, people would ask me why I felt the need to say it was "lifted", and I'd explain that I didn't want to take credit for something I didn't do on my own---what would be the fun of that? Peoples' reactions were sometimes odd, and I never understood why. I also tried to use the example of when you use a direct quote and/or a paraphrased quote in an essay---you give full credit to the author in your bibliography.

.I'm not sure from your response if you felt that complete "lifts" were bad? Oh no! I don't think they are bad! I don't think they should be entered into contests and when they win the lifter gets a prize, haha! I was just remarking on the ladies who wanted to get it so completely 'right' that if we were out of a particular color brown cardstock, for example, that was listed in the supplies for that layout, they were in a tizzy. No I think lifts are wonderful and can really enhance the story as well as help us learn new styles and develop our own versions. I don't scraplift because I have very little real estate on my page to work with and over many years I have a more 'productive' style and much less creative or artistic so to speak. For me it's become about getting pages done. I do appreciate this thread and have been checking out people's layouts. I think the sketches that are frequently posted when I see how they are individually interpreted are fabulous! I appreciate your sharing your layouts and if I had any, I would love to share. |

.I'm not sure from your response if you felt that complete "lifts" were bad? Oh no! I don't think they are bad! I don't think they should be entered into contests and when they win the lifter gets a prize, haha! I agree with this, unless it looks completely different. One of the challenges I did this month on a digital scrapbook site is a scraplift challenge. I uploaded my layout, and somebody on the site nominated my layout for the "layout of the month". I am actually rather mortified! Why would they nominate a layout that was clearly scraplifted? I mean, it was a scraplift challenge, it's not my own work. And it's not like I did a sneaky lift then tried to pass it off as my own work. Ugh. |

I scraplift all the time: from Pinterest, from magazines, from websites, from the Peas. When I see something I like on the computer, I screenshot it and print it off. Have a paper stand on my scrap counter, and I put the printouts in there with the one I am working on in front, so I can consult it while I am playing with paper. I don't enter these in any contests, and if I know the original artist's name I will give credit. My lifts vary from very close copies to almost non recognizable as related to the original. I don't worry about exact dimensions, but do like to see how people layer and put things together in a cluster. Sometimes I am drawn to a LO bc it uses a pp collection I have, or combines colours in a way I hadn't thought of. A couple of years ago, one of the magazines featured a page a contributor had sent in for publication, and I recognized it from seeing it before in a different magazine a few months before. Found the old magazine and confirmed it was a different person who had done it, and then emailed the editor of the magazine that published the obvious lift to let her know. It was a very distinctive design, so not much chance they had both had the same idea independently. And scrappintoee, I still have magazines with the sticky notes marking pages or cards I want to lift. Still get two paper magazines: The Creative Scrapbooker and Scrapbook & Cards Today. This thread reminded me that I tagged a couple of pages in the latest issues, and I should check them out to see if I still want to use them as inspiration this month. |
