Saturday Scraplift: Focusing on the Details

Shannon (shannonr) here to bring you the first Saturday Scraplift of 2024.  This week,  we are lifting Monica (mosbaskets).  I chose this terrific layout of her son playing guitar.  The focus on the instrument and his hands playing it really pulled me in.

As usual, the creative team has put together some great lifts to help inspire you as well.

First up Creative Team Guest member, Rae (bcgal 00), scrapped this photo of a bird and paired it with some lovely holiday elements.  I love to take photos of birds too so this was right up my alley.

Products used:  ARTpack Arboretum Brushes and Stamps 01, Rustique Noel Scrapbook Kit, Merriest Christmas Element Pack, Partial Page Masks 08, and ARToptions Wicked Grunge Paper Pack 01.

Brenda (bbe) chose to focus in on snowflakes and hands for this festive holiday layout.

Carol (oldbag165) chose to focus in on some of her Christmas decorations.  Love the elements that she included and the subtle snowflake mask.

I chose to focus in on my son’s new pilot wings in my husband’s hand before he pinned them onto my son’s uniform.  This has been quite a journey for us as a family–and especially for our son.  Such a special moment to share with him as he received his wings last month.
