I’ve got more P2D inspiration for you today. I found this page recently … (Sorry, I don’t know who the artist is, I think I got the link from pencillines.com) And I liked it well enough that I thought I’d give it a shot digitally. So, here’s my take on it: With the original, I loved the take on the patterned papers, the stitching along the edge, the flowery clusters, and the bits of word art.
I have another great Paper to Digi example for you today. I found this page by Elizabeth Carney over in the 2 Peas gallery: As soon as I saw this layout, I knew I had to try my hand at it digitally. I loved the various paper strips, the numbered filmstrip, and of course the photo strips, not to mention the pretty string wrapped all around the layout. So, I went ahead and created this page, inspired by these features, and here is how that turned out: I also got some inspiration from Ali Edward’s word-art collection, which I used for my title. Anyways, you might want to check out Elizabeth’s gallery for some fun inspiration. Here is another example: And my lift: Like this?

More than anything, I was stunned by the offensiveness of their comments as they were raging on about how digital scrapbooking is just a knock-off of the real thing, a poor imitation, and I kept thinking to myself: Traditional and digital scrapbooking are two completely different pairs of shoes, so why can’t we just exist peacefully next to each other, share the galleries, and respect and appreciate the different skills each branch of art requires? Well, today I’m going to make my contribution for tolerance, and provide you with some inspiration that comes from the side of traditional scrapbooking. Recently, I came across a website called “Pencil Lines” which provides sketches for scrapbooking, and some pretty awesome inspiration that comes with that. Ever since then I’ve scoured …
I’ve decided to take a different route today. Instead of the usual CT spotlight, I’m going to share a little paper to digi (P2D) inspiration. For those of you who are clueless, P2D simply means, you find a layout that has been created through the traditional means of scrapping (paper and glue, etc.), scraplift it and turn it into a digital layout. Anyone who knows my scrapping style, will also know that most of all I love variety. So, recently I’ve been exploring the vast field of traditional scrapbooking and the possibilities you can find there for you digital layouts. I’ll be sharing some more inspirational galleries of some individuals in the future, but today I simply want to show you a traditional scrapbooking page, and what it looked like when I turned it into a digital layout. Here’s “Happy?” by Sophie Crespy: I loved the composition of this page, and how she pegged the photos plus some elements. So, I wanted to try my hand at this, doing it digitally, and here is the …
