Scraplift Saturday - Melinda Sweetman
Hello and welcome to our final Scraplift Saturday! We’ve decided to retire this fun series so that we could expand to some new content, but the very last lift is one of my favorite humans and scrappers: Melinda! Melinda has a super fun and varied gallery with all sorts of projects to choose from - something to inspire everyone!
Have a stroll through her gallery and find a layout to lift too!
Make sure you tag me on Instagram if you play along and use the hashtag #TRDScrapLiftSaturday!
Shayla - Ex Libris Galaxias
I was inspired by Melinda’s use of mixed media in this layout. The Ex Libris Galaxias collection has several digital mixed media elements that I used layered together to create my background. I added tags and the library checkout out pocket to imitate Melinda’s use of tags on her original. The sticky note journal tag is adorable so I made sure to use it for telling my story about re-discovering the library these past two years. My final touch was layering the gold starbursts around my central photo cluster.

Ruth - True North
This was such a fun challenge! Melinda has so many cool layouts it was hard to choose which one to lift. This 2 photo page worked perfectly for my travellers notebook. I've used the TRD True North collection, and stuck reasonably closely to the original design (not a lot of real estate on a TN page!). I did add a tag with pull out journalling as my album is a vacation story telling.

Michele - The Love List
I love the clean, linear design of Melinda’s layout. Although hers is a planner page, it immediately made me envision a layout for my niece’s birthday. The playful pop of embellishments along the left side really draws the eye in, and I hoped to capture that same effect in my own page.

Ophie - Grit & Grace
I picked this layout by Melinda because it has a colorful background with the photos, papers and ellies mostly at the upper half of the page. Compared to what I typically scrap, this page is simpler. I changed it up a bit and focused on one photo rather than three but still lifted how she designed her page. Overall, I love how my page turned out!
