challenge: lift a member!

hey guys! it's stephanie (h). lisa and i are hosting the SC blog this week,
and we are so very excited to start march off with a bang!

you may have noticed that each of us lifted a member for our designer gallery this month.
i do this all the time. there is SO much inspiration at SC, i feel like i am constantly filing away tidbits to use for layouts.

i made this layout:

based on this fabulous layout by lynn ghahary:



and lisa made this layout:



by lifting this stunning layout by simplytam:






if you haven't checked out our fabulous member gallery lately, go HERE.
it's the best gallery around, bar none.

okay, on with the challenge!
this week, we challenge you to lift a layout from the phenomenal member gallery at SC.
you can be inspired by the title, the photo placement, the colors, the topic...or something even more random.
you can do a literal lift...or something different.
it's up to you!!

the only requirements-
it must be a new layout
link it here by midnight PST on saturday, march 6.
we will draw a winner to receive a 5 dollar GC to the studio calico store.

can't wait to see what you make...thanks for playing along!!!

diana, "new layout" means make a new layout for the challenge. don't use one you've previously done. :)
