Scraplift Chat Challenge - 2/27/2017

I lifted your page here Amanda


& here's my lift:

 

As for etiquette here at TLP, if we are doing the scraplift challenge, I know we post the original with ours in the thread. What about in the gallery? I put mine in the Scraplift Challenge category, but should I link to the original too in the credits?

Also, what about crediting what part appealed to us or that we lifted? I have seen layouts that really don't look anything like what they scraplifted, so I some times wonder what they lifted or what the inspiration was. And should that go in the credits too?

Sorry I missed the chat. You may have already answered these "inquiring minds want to know" questions.

 

LOL I agree Bev. Sometimes I think...really???

 

@MandaKay I think this was a really thought provoking chat. Thanks for hosting it! I'll try for a scrap lift later tonight.

A lot to think about and I remember a discussion years ago about the difference between a 'case' and a 'scrap lift', the case being copy and scrap exactly I think. I cannot see any reason for the 'case' unless you really are trying to learn a specific something. That would never, imho, be one for a gallery and obviously (!) not for publication.

 

This was loads of fun! Thanks for the great chat and challenge <3.

Inspired by your Leaf Pile Layout:

 

I scraplifted Manda's page here for design:

 

I chose to lift the lovely layout by @IntenseMagic - I love her layouts!!! ♥



and here is mine:

 

I was inspired by Karen's Forever in Love. First, because the beautiful heart cutouts caught my eye. And then I realized I have some of the Bit Worn Topography templates by Valorie Wibbens and hadn't yet used any!
Here's Karen's:

Here's mine:

 

Maybe not totaly on topic, but I think template designers also can help us to give them proper credits... I dont know about other software, but in photoshop you can stock pile your different papers and element and they would keep their filename. In templates when you start chances are you rename them and at the end you forget to put in the name of the template before running a credit tracker. I often think: shouldnt it be better if designers rename the background layer to their own filename/credit ?

But that said, I try to put a thumbnail of the original design in the credits when I scraplift something. It is always for a scraplift challenge

Sorry I missed the chat!

 

That would be a nice shortcut for us. I just copy the template filename when I'm doing my Save As and paste it into the background layer title myself.

 

@Frumpje If i'm not too eager or in a hurry, I add the template info in the background slot and save over the original .psd BEFORE I use it. I was quite surprised that TLP designers don't have that in there already.

 

For us Artisan users, the converts to the .page format create a text box off to the side of the page that includes the designer and name of the template set. Since we don't have a way to track credits automatically, we can also use that text box to list out what kits we use. Then it is a simple copy and paste into the gallery credit box.

 

I lifted Amanda's

for this one of my granddaughter. I'm sorry she didn't get her first college choice...UNC with a 26% acceptance rate...but I know things work out and hopefully she will realize that soon. It's hard though as I remember the feeling! Georgetown's School of Foreign Service turned me down too.

 

I lifted @Electra page, because I love the LO , and was inspired by @cfile to use bolder papers..

and came up with this;

 

It is a good idea to name the background layer , because everyone keeps that ! I rename the template as soon as I start because In the past I have used save rather than save as, with the result that the original template has been altred.

 

Ditto !!

 

I scraplifted this beauty from the amazing @fanon -


Here's my take on it. Loved the clean look!!

 

I was inspired by KarenB:
