Saturday Scraplift: Branching Out

Happy New Year!  Shannon (shannonr) here to welcome you to the first Saturday Scraplift of 2026!  This week, we are lifting Lynn (lynns54).  I chose this beautiful layout she created with her photo of a red breasted nuthatch.  I love her subtle chippy background with the flourish and the branches coming in from the sides.

As usual, the Creative Team has put together some additional inspiration for you.

First up–Stacia.  Love the photo with those shadows paired with the dark green paper, paper clipped to the leaves and the stitching to ground the photo.

Products used: Stamped and Framed Layered Template 16, Cyanotype Prints Paper Pack 01 and Texture Essentials Paper Pack 05.

Addie (AddieG) made this page featuring her young cousin who loves wearing the hood on her sweater.  I love that Addie included multiple photos but also used the same branches that Lynn used in her LO.  The added sparkle for the season was also a nice touch.

Products used:  Blendable Layers 61, Photo Strips Scrap Pack, Golden Essentials 02, Tight Stacks You Brushes and Stamps 01 and Chippy Foundations Paper Pack 02.

I was pretty true to Lynn’s design but featured ferns because they are prominent in the foreground of my photo.  While I loved the more subtle background that Lynn used, I decided to use the Christmas Chippy Papers with the evergreens because the forest I was walking in when I saw the waterfalls has a lot of evergreens.

Products used: Chippy Christmas Paper Pack 02, Chippy Christmas Paper Pack 03, Stamped Blocks 46, Partial Page Masks 07, Botanical Notebook 01 Element Pack, Curated Studio Mix Scrapbooking Kit 21, Winter Pine Overlays 01, Pine Woods Element Pack and Great Escape Element Pack.

I hope you find some inspiration from Lynn or the Creative Team to create your own layout for this week’s lift.
