Scrap Shanty Challenge Blog

Hello again! It’s time for another Scraplift Conversion challenge! And this week I have something special for you!

This week’s layout was created by jc.chris, who’s a member of my Creative Team. She normally makes digital layouts, but lately she’s been playing around with paper, thanks to the Shanty’s influence. So this week, we are going to take one of her paper layouts and turn it into a digital creation! Here is our inspiration:

And here is our template so that we can turn this layout into a digital creation:

When you’ve scrapped your own take on this week’s layout, be sure to come back and show us your pretty layouts in this thread here: Scraplift Conversion - June 13th. Can’t wait to see what you make!

Happy scrapping!

This month’s digi-sponsor at the Shanty is A Shade of Blue! Anne has given us two of her latest kits to play with, Lakeside and Summer Sherbet. Here’s a layout I made, using one of Anne’s incredible background papers:

Hey there all you photo fans! We have decided to shake things up a bit with the photography challenge. Taking pictures is awesome….but lets don’t be forgetting to SCRAP those shots! This challenge is all about that……the idea is to not only take the picture of the week but to SCRAP that photo too!

Our first week’s theme is BEAUTIFUL to ME

Beauty surrounds us in many forms. Nature, people, pets…beauty means different things to each of us.
Find some beauty and take a photo. THEN scrap this photo(s) to record the beauty you see……….

don’t forget to share it with us on the board and in the gallery so we can be inspired!!

watch for next week…every other week will be a subject/topic to help you get out there and TAKE photos!
