If you haven't noticed the newest Polly kicking around the Pad...you must be living under a rock!! But seriously, I want to scrap like Isa Marks when I grow up!! She has such depth in her pages...I seriously can't tell if they are hybrid or digi!! If they are digi...PLEASE TELL ME YOUR SHADOWING SECRETS!!! Your scraplift challenge is to try to choose just one page from Isa's gallery Good luck!! I had a hard time choosing a layout to lift, because in all honesty, I love every single one of them!! I ended up choosing this one (but have about a hundred that I want to lift!!) Here is the page I that I made: As always, please remember the monthly challenge rules: Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the November Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and in this thread. The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month: 2 challenges = 10% off 4 challenges = 20% off 6 challenges = 30% off If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate from the Lilypad! The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).
Scraplifts ALWAYS make so nervous...but this one is by the far the most nerve wracking! Isa is the Shadow Queen *gulp* I'll be lifting this one...trying anyway LOL Yeah...I CANNOT seem to stick to ONE kit, no matter how hard I try! Here's my page

Thank You For The Challenge...Everyone Is Talking About The Amazing Shadowing On Isa Marks Layouts(Very True)...I Do A Lot Of Shadowing Also But Mine Never Seems To Look As Good As Hers Does... I Chose This Layout To Scraplift :You & Me: Isa Marks I Really Like This Layout...I Also Wanted To Try My Hand At A White Space Layout... My Layout: :Whitespace Layout-Yes Paint In The Background-Yes :Many Rectangle Shapes Layered-Yes :Small Photo To The Right-Yes :Many Various Elements(In My Case Mostly Flowers That I Clustered Together)-Yes :The Use Of WA-Yes :The Use Of Flowers-Yes *I Added More Effects To My Background Paper & My Rectangle Pieces(They Are All Papers) I Resized & Added The Proper Effects To To Achieve The Look I Was Going For & I Also Clustered All The Flowers & Leaves Together & Added Various Shadows & Effects... For My Grateful Layout:I Used: :Simple Life-Etc By Danyale :Today Is Beautiful-Sampler-The Urban Fairy(1 WA)
Yup! Isa´s shadow works are out of this world! I too wanna know her Jedi skills! I was drawn to this layout with the dark background that I am gonna try to lift: Here´s my version - I flipped it...
I see Isa is a "one photo" scrapper.. like me!! SO many of my layouts only have one photo too! I love this, and the shadowing is like superhero level. Im not even going to try and say I can get even close in the shadowing department!! I chose this one to lift. and mine.....
Please add me to the list of people who would like to learn Isa's way of shadowing...really, you all should have her teach a class or do a live chat. I am blown away by her layouts and the shadows (especially the ones (or gradients) on top of paper pieces). Simply stunning.
