Please send me an email at dmarie@websterspages(dot)com with your shipping information and I will have your stickers sent out to you! Congratulations!

And Brandin, this week's advice...go search about inspireME and find a layout with a style that you DON'T think that you would normally do. I find that scraplifting a style that is intimidating (aka tons of layering and embellishments) helps me try something that I wouldn't normally do. It kind of frees you up to be explorative and brave. Get your feet wet a bit trying something a bit different. xoxo Dena

 

Oh Brandin! Scraplifting is fun. I think my advice is that you don't need to scraplift the entire layout. You may just find one or two elements that inspire you. I love, love our GDT monthly inspiration pieces because it so cool to look through each DT member's take on the inspiration pieces. Everyone comes away with something different!  Have fun! Ellen

Hi Brandin! Anabelle here. Scraplifting is so much fun. I don't scraplift now as much as I did when I first started, I wish I had more time to do so. One thing that I did a lot when I was first starting out, was to find a style that I really liked. Then, I 'tried it on'. It took me about a year before I found the style that really suited me best, one that felt like it just 'fit'. The best part about lifting is that you can find fun techniques and elements and try them on your page. Have a blast with this. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hi Brandin, can't wait to see what you will create. My advice is to find a layout which has some techniques you really would love to scraplift. The one thing I most like to scraplift is a composition of a layout. The shape a layout has, or the way a photo was placed on a layout. Sometimes I just scraplift a color combination which I love. Just try to find a way not to 'copy' it, but just add the elements to your layout you love. Good luck!! hugs Hilde

Hi Brandin dearest, jaz here. I am so soree that im a little bit late here but my laptop was not behaving. Just dropping by here today to share some tips ;)

Scraplifting is just so much fun to do. You may scraplift the design, the sketch or just the colour palette then apply them on your page with your very own style and touches and make it yours ;) The inspireMe gallery is just the perfect place to choose a page to scraplift from, choose one that you think it's not what you would normally do, so that you can feel that it's challenging and fresh and new ;)

Have fun Brandin!!

Congrats, Dorothy! I'm sure you'll put them to great use w/your gorgeous LO's. I love your comment btw...watching my children sleep can make me either smiley or teary eyed depending on the day. Unfortunately for my children, if they happen to fall asleep anywhere other than their beds, chances are I'll snap off a few pics. lol
