Mint Chick Kirstie brought us the BLIND SCRAPLIFT in challenge #2 and #7 and they've proved to be amoung your favorite challenges and since it's been a while I thought I'd give it another go!

What IS a blind scraplift you ask? It's a not a kinky scrapbooking game LOL. Just read the description below and follow it to create yoru own layout. The details are based ona real layout which will be revealed at the end of the challenge. Whoever is the closest will win.

READY?

Layout Description

1. Size: 12x12"

2. Page has 3 full sheets of paper slightly smaller than the background layer, centered and layered (rotated left and right for variation).

3. Page features 3 photos in the centre of the page - slightly to the left.

4. Photos are fanned out with the left most photo on top and angled slightly.

5. There is an oversized bracket element to the left of the first photo.

6. There is journaling to the left of the bracket

7. The title is placed beneath the 2nd and 3rd photo.

Okay, this is my first time trying a blind scraplift, and it probably won't look like the original. It is definitely a fun challenge to do!

Love the layout!

But now I'm confused - do we actually have to find the layout somewhere so we can scraplift it? I thought you just put something together from the instructions and see how close you come - but it's actually about how close you come to an existing layout?

You got it right ! You don't have to look in the gallery or anywhere else to find an existing layout to scraplift but just put something together from MissMint's instructions ! :)

Ok, here's my try ... I've discovered I like straight lines because I found it quite hard to rotate my papers LOL - but in the end I was happy!

Great pages ladies! Now that I see some others I think I've used my bracket backwards, which my husband said something about but I try not to let him think he's right if I can help it! :heartu:
