Line them up and crop them tight: Saturday Scraplift No.170

I love how this week’s inspiration layout by Amy (aka MyMalloryBoys) literally turns a traditional scrapbook page design on its head:

Not only has Amy built up a blocked layout vertically rather than horizontally, she has also placed thinly cropped photos at the top at bottom of the page. Add in the cute thought bubble and the lovely patchwork effect of the patterned papers and digital stitching, and you have a unique and eye-catching page. Part of the fun of digital scrapbooking is the ability to resize, crop and move around photos and elements and try out limitless numbers of possible designs so make the most of that and try something unexpected now and then!

And in the meantime, you might like to try a scraplift of this creative, fun page just as Lisa, Sharon and I did:
