I have given up online time for Lenten sacrifice, so we will be back after Easter and I will have the lifts up and decide whether we will continue this blog at that time. It seems that it hasn't been drawing the participants it used to, so perhaps it's run it's course?
I hope I'm not playing by myself here - LOL!!!
Here we go - it's now February of 2009 - can you believe it?? We have a new year, a new President and now a new lift! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I will trying to make my own masterpiece with this beautiful layout! Our next lift comes from Scrappinpeep, otherwise known as Chris. She is also a very fun designer, here's a link to her blog:And her store at divine digitals: This layout is so colorful and fun! LOVE the drop shadows that she used - it looks like you could just pick it up off the monitor and feel the dimension! I will have to work hard on that - I'm not the best on realistic shadows. It's one of my goals this year - to not just use the default in Photoshop.It is also a lift of Cheryl (Gonewiththewind) and when I find the link to it, I will link it here as well. My computer is giving me fits tonight and will not connect with the link in Chris's gallery post!! LOLHere it is:
You can go see her layout over at DST and make sure to give her some lovin' here: This Smile The Lift Guidelines:
Don't despair ladies...A new lift will be posted Sunday Feb 1st!! Come check us out and do some fun lifting with us!!
and we've been pretty slow on the blog the past 2 lifts, so we're taking a break this week and coming back next Sunday with a new lift! I'll get the two lifts from this past week up tomorrow and if anyone still wants to do it - there's still time! LOL
I was so entranced by the silent beauty of this layout and I hope you are as entranced with it as I am. It's got a sweet picture, a place for a significant amount of journaling, and sweet elements.
Here's Zaba's layout, Sisters:

The Lift Guidelines:
1. Post your layout up on the web where ever you'd like, with a link to it in the comments here. I would like to have it by Friday night so that I can get all the lifts up in a photo album on Saturday and then be ready to start the new one on Sunday. I will choose one layout that I found especially beautiful or just knocks my socks off and they will be featured on Saturday in the wrap up.
2. I will set up a photo album here and post all the lifts on the blog in the photo album at the end of each week.
3. Each lift will be featured on the blog for one week. I don't ever CLOSE the lifts, they'll always be available and I'll upload any latecomers when I get them. The photo albums will remain on the site.
4. If you're a designer and you'd like to donate a prize for the chosen layout at the end of the week - I'm open to it! ;-)
Ok, ready, get set...SCRAP!!!!!!
The layouts are in a photo album on the top left called Lorie Twists.

This layout was just too perfect to pass up. It's somewhat clean and graphic, it's got great contrast and fun use of elements!!!! I was drawn to it right away!
