Scraplift...yourself!

Good morning!  We hope everyone had a great weekend!  It is launch week around the SCT offices and we are so excited to launch the winter issue and the 2011 PageMaps Sketch calendar on Friday!  If you would like a chance to win a copy of the winter issue, be sure to check out last Friday's post because we have five to give away!  Did you also see our last Project 12 sketch for the year?  A perfect December sketch.  If you would like to see all twelve Project 12 sketches be sure to check them out here.  It is not too late to catch up!

 

Today we have designer Emily Pitts joining us.  Emily writes our "I Spy" column each issue!  Take away Em...

"I recently celebrated a birthday and my dear friend Mary Kay gave me a card with the instructions, "When you figure out what the card reminds you of, let me know." Very cryptic I thought. My birthday came around and I got to open the card and studied it carefully. I tried to figure out the hidden message in the card. Then it hit me, she'd taken one of my layouts and scraplifted it, making it into a card. What a brilliant idea! So this week, I would like to challenge you to do the same. Pick a layout that you've loved and shrink it down to fit on a card, it's actually pretty fun. I took this layout...

 

that had originally been a scraplift of my friend Gillian and turned it into a card for the holidays!

 

Easy peasy, I didn't have to reinvent the wheel, and we all know at this time of the year how very important that can be!

I'll be back Wednesday to share another project with you!

I always adore an Emily Pitts layout, you choose the perfect home for each item to make it shine, but not scream at you!
