Scraplift Saturday – Out of Bounds!

Today’s layout come from Roxy in our own gallery!  I loved this layout mostly because of her cool use of the out-of-bounds technique.  This is a photo that had it not been treated that way would not have been a great photo.  The hand is kind of out of focus and is obscuring his face.  But by wisely choosing to let the hand go OOB, it now grabs your attention and drags you into the moment!!

So today’s scraplift is to do a layout with an OOB photo.  Maybe it’s been a while since you’ve done one, maybe you’ve been wanting to learn the technique!   Either way, we have a tutorial here you can work through should you need it.

Can’t wait to see what you do, be sure to post in our gallery so we can leave you some love!

Happy Scrapping!

Scraplift Saturday – Color Blocking Updated!

I was out all day – first teaching a children’s quilting class, then taking my son to a barbershop concert – so I’m just squeaking this post in!

I was looking for a color-blocking style layout, because I was in the mood to do one, and this one just knocked my socks off!  It’s by Kelleanne at myscrapbookart.com. What a great chance to use all those cool papers you don’t know what to do with! And LOVE those shadows – this really has a great 3D kind of look.  (If you struggle with shadows, get our free Shadows Style Set download here.)

I hope you try something like this, I’d love to see what your take on this style is!  I’ll post a link to mine here when I get it done.

Happy Scrapping!

Scraplift Saturday – working with words

I thought this layout by misserin at SBE would be a great layout to scraplift this week.  I love how the photos are worked in with the elements, and especially how the words are blended into the background.  This is similar to the technique we used to make word art paper in this tutorial.

Did you get a chance to try last week’s scraplift?  I did – here’s my layout:

If you did a layout for the challenge, post a link in the comments so we all can see!  If not, why not give this one a try!

Happy Scrapping!
