Shhhhh....don't tell anyone!

I follow a readers gallery on Two Peas in a Bucket scrapbooking website. Everytime I find a layout I like a right click and voila its in my computer...I love the magic of the internet. There is a term for this...scraplifting which sounds very close to shoplifting something I would never do! (well maybe once when I was 8 but thats another story) Last night I decided I needed some inspiration and just clicked on one of the images I had saved and copied it, then another and another and another. For once I made the layout first before choosing the photos but it seemed to work. Here are the results of my scraplifting and I apologise for not crediting the work to the rightful owners but I haven't noted the scrapper for each layout.

The inspiration....

My version

the inspiration...

My turn, slightly different but the basic layout is there.

The inspiration...

My verison, I love working with the bigger photos on these busy layouts.

the inspiration....

A very retro look for me, I have added a ribbon down the middle of the circle line. I bought a retro story book from the sallie shop and cut the picture out. It took me a few minutes to pluck up the courage to cut into a book, it goes completely against my book lover self! LOL.

This one I did on my own, I didn't even realise the blue in the elephants matched his top. Blue lettering would have looked better but I didn't have the right colour paint or ink. I may revisit this layout to improve but it does look fine as it is.

Another one of my own layouts, note the rip curl tag saved from somewhere, I often use clothing tags as embellishments. 

The skulls reflect what is on Glens tshirt something else I didn't notice until I was finished, I love skulls and have used them a lot with Western's layouts.
I've left the table in a huge mess ready for another night of inspired scrapping...I'm on a roll but now I have to go let the dog out, get showered and dressed and get the kids out the door for the Playcentre playgroup today.
