I thought we would do something a little different this week. Every once in a while I see a new scrapper that really catches my eye. The first time I saw work by Fiddlette, Mishou, MirandaM, SteinwaysMom ... just to name a few ... I was blown away. Birgit Wanvik (username: tyting (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=3680)) has really impressed me lately. She has such a different style than me - more clean, open spaces - and usually just one photo. Her use of elements is awesome and her layouts always look so realistic.
Your challenge this week is to use Birgit's gallery (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=3680) as inspiration for a heritage layout. If you feel more comfortable scraplifting, then scraplift away! I have already gotten permission from Birgit but please give proper credit. Personally, I am a terrible scraplifter and prefer to just use ideas I get from layouts.
Remember that photos on your layouts should be from the 1970's and before. I will post my example in a few minutes. Remember to give a link to your layout in this thread so we can admire your work!
I also asked Birgit to give us a little information about herself and here is what she had to say:
Here's a little info about me. My real name is Birgit. I started scrapping 8 months ago. I'm on the catscrap creative team. Never tried the real thing with paper and glue, but I love that look and try my best to make my digital LOs look paper-scrapped. I did my first heritage LO a couple of weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it so now there are 4 in my gallery. I get most of my inspiration from looking at other peoples LOs in online galleries and books about scrapbooking. But I can find inspiration in just about anything. Magazines, clothes, art...
