Welcome to another Inspiration Elevator reveal! We are thrilled to celebrate the end of our first year of Inspiration Elevator challenges and are anticipating that the second year will see our creative growth continue to go UP!
To celebrate our first anniversary and our fabulous designers, Christa and Ann decided to challenge our designers to take an in-depth look at a fellow designer's artistic portfolio via her blog, choose elements from that designers creations and incorporate them into her own work. In other words, we are encouraging a scrapLIFT! Rather than a mere copy of someone else’s work, this is a stylistic scraplift that should inspire each designer to grow creatively as she is inspired, yet remain true to her own style.
As the second year of this creative journey begins, and as the popularity of Inspiration Elevator increases, we have created a new
blog for our Inspiration Elevator Challenges. So, if you want to play along you can find the challenges and links to the inspiration all in one place!
Also, to celebrate our first year, we have decided to incorporate RAKs along with our Designer's reveals! How exciting! Now, before you check out each of the Design Team's blogs, we want to let you know of a few personnel changes.
While, we are so excited to welcome back most of our original design team members for year two, we are saddened to be saying goodbye to Audrey Yeager. Audrey has creatively embraced every challenge over the past year and has been a super part of our design team over the past 12 months. We hope you will continue to stop by her blog and see her gorgeous creations. Thank you Audrey for sharing our journey – we are grateful for you!
We are very pleased to announce a new member to our design team. Join us as we welcome Jodi Wilton. Jodi's design style is happy and whimsical and we are looking forward to sharing this new year of growth with her and seeing how her creative muse is tickled by our challenges.
We mentioned RAKs or giveaways at each designer’s blog this month, since we’re celebrating our first year. Please read each designer’s instructions regarding the giveaway as they will vary. We will post a final list of winners on April 24th on the
Inspiration Elevator blog, so be sure to pop back and if you create something based on this month's challenge, please link it up on the blog.
I was fortunate enough to have received
Jodi Wilton's name as the person that I am scraplifting for our anniversary post! I have long admired Jodi's design work and I was thrilled to work with her style. Some of the things that really impress me about Jodi's work are the bright, fun colours, the great photos and the clean, full-page designs that she creates. So I decided to throw all caution to the wind and just have fun with colour, some adorable photos of my great-nephew and using all the space on my page as part of my design.
I incorporated some of my favourite design elements on my page, like the banner and Silhouette title.
I also added some stitching for the airplane's flight path.
And, of course, I had to add my signature button before I considered my layout complete!
I loved being inspired by Jodi's style and I really enjoyed working with bright colours and the use of more than one photo! Thanks Jodi for all the great inspiration I found on your blog!
I have decided to offer a special collection of Kelly Panacci papers, stickers and chipboard as my RAK!
All you need to do to have a chance to win this giveaway is (1) leave a comment on my blog and (2) become a follower of my blog by Monday, April 22nd! Also be sure to leave a final comment on the Inspiration Elevator blog :)
