A Little Tuesday Scraplift Tip

Last week, Angela featured a challenge at Scrapbook-bytes that used her layout as an inspiration for their first scraplift challenge of the month. To jog your memories a little bit, here is the layout she made using Mel's Dirt Don't Hurt Collab Kit with LauraMarie Scraps.



Have you had the chance to pick an idea from her layout yet? The large photo in her layout is placed simply perfectly. And have you noticed how she blended her son's name to it? Those are the best parts in her page that inspired me to do my layout below:


I used Mel's Zesty Spice Kit available at Scrapbook-bytes. I blended some swirls on the main photo just like how angela blended her son's name on the dirt :) Clever technique right? Just a few of the many ways you can recycle your stash in your pages.

Maybe you have been inspired by angela's layout too. Maybe you can share it with us here so we can leave you some love. We'd appreciate it a lot if you could share your layouts with us using Mel's kits. We'd love to see them and get inspired by them too.

So, that's it for now. We hope we gave you a little bit of inspiration to scrap today.

Have fun!

Tuesday Tip: Gotta Frame It! A Duo-licious New Release and 2 Freebies!

Do you have tons of frames in your stash and feel like you want to do something different with them? Sometimes, using them in a conventional way just seems so boring already. Why not try to be a little different? Why not flip them? rotate them? Skew? Put them under something? Or whatever suits you.Here are a few layouts showcasing different uses of frames to help inspire you with your pages:

Poem reads as:

Live well dear friends
In all you do,
Tho' paths be old
Or paths be new,
But to yourself
Be ever true,
Live well!

Laugh often friends
Tho' passing years
Bring, sometimes, smiles
And, sometimes, tears,
For mirth forever
Warms and cheers
Laugh often!

Love much dear friends
For love will bring
The healing joy
And hope of Spring,
Where pain and fear may never dwell
Nor anguish touch….

And so Live well,
Laugh often too,
And more, dear friends,
Love much!
