Lifts with a Twist

We'll Be Back After Easter!

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? 

Anyways - thank you to all of you who have sent me your layouts - they will be up after Easter  - they're gorgeous! :)

You Still Have Time - The lift is 2 weeks long!!!!

I hope I'm not playing by myself here - LOL!!!

Our lifts are going for 2 weeks now, so if you thought you were too late - you're not. Please come and join us and lift Chris - she's such a talent and she's offered a small prize for one lucky person!!! Get your lifts in!! 

If not, I'll just keep doing my little lifts and hope you join me! :)

Week of February 1, 2009 - Scrappinpeep's "This Smile"

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:

Chris Greisner's Blog

And her store at divine digitals: 

Designs by Chris Greisner

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!! LOL

Here 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: 

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!!!!!!

A New Lift is Coming!

Don't despair ladies...A new lift will be posted Sunday Feb 1st!! Come check us out and do some fun lifting with us!! 

We had a slow month or so, but I'm ready to get back to being serious about having fun!!!!!! :)

Life's Been Crazy...

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

If I don't see you before, please have a wonderful, safe, love filled holiday and we'll get back to having some fun in the new year. 2009 - can't quite believe that one!

Week of December 7 - Zaba

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:

Week of November 30 - LorieM!

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!

Also , this week we have been gifted with a prize for one of the lifters - Julie Jorgenson from Scrapbook Elements has offered a gift certificate from her store!

Come on over to scrapbook elements and see her designs and see if there is something you might want to pick up for your collection today - and the prize will be awarded by random drawing at the end of the week! 

Here's a link to her store:
