  10. This is typically my design style: Usually a mix between Artsy Crafty & Floral Art

  11. Your Homework Find your signature design and create a page layout reflecting your design style through a process called “scraplifting.”

  12. What is scraplifting? • Scraplifting is simply “borrowing” a page layout idea from another designer and creating it for yourself • When scraplifting, be sure to give credit to the original designer when you share it with others. “I saw this layout by Jill Means and thought it would be fun to use for my daughters b-day party” • Scraplifting is a great way to start with someone else’s idea and see where it leads you!

  13. How do I scraplift with Heritage Makers? Step 1: Find a design layout that you love! Step 2: Open up the preview in a window that you can see while in the Heritage Makers design studio Step 3: Start with the background paper and work your way up through the layers. Copy the embellishments as closely as possible including drop shadows and effects Step 4: Make any changes that you would like to customize it to your personal preference

  14. Example of Scraplifting

  15. Where can I find layout ideas? Image search on the internet for “scrapbook layouts” My personal favorite is www.scrapbook.com because you can save them easily to refer back to later! • Go to www.scrapbook.com • Create an account • Go to “Gallery” then “digital layouts” • Search through digital layouts and save pages that you like to your “favorites.
