What’s a scraplift? From what I understand (ha) it’s when you take someone else’s layout and make it your own with your own photos, etc. Yeah, that kind of thing is usually frowned upon, but digital scrapbookers seem to enjoy it and I’ve seen many challenges of this sort. This, however, was my first.

So, to participate in Songbird Avenue’s May 2008 scraplift challenge, I chose a layout from the “list” and came up with this:

Scrapbook: May 2004

The photo is one of my favorites of Elijah from just under four years ago! It was before I went digital, so it was shot in black & white 35mm film. I just love that photo, even with the imperfections put in by the scanner I had at the time. He was sitting on a tree stump chair out at my in-laws’ house, he wasn’t quite a year old at the time, about ten months old. I thought, though, that I might do some of the stuff from when he was really really little and such for his baby book. I’ve not added much to it at all in the past few years (believe it or not).

What’cha think? I do okay? :)

More postage coming later, but I tell you what, it was all I could do to come up with that layout there. I am so completely exhausted. Probably moreso than ever before. It’s been non-stop running around since Friday and my body’s about to come in for a crash landing. So goodnight. :)
