Lauren Reid’s Team Blog

Before I get to today’s awesome featured layout, I just want to say that our thoughts are with our own Lauren and fellow CT member Kelly (and all those in the southern U.S.) as Hurricane Ike approaches Texas. Be safe!!!! We love you both!

Lauren’s Creative Team was challenged this week by Juliet’s (a.k.a. Ranie) amazing “Glass Slippers” layout. A few weeks ago, we all decided to try our hand at pages with white backgrounds. Well, Juliet’s fabulous page presented the opposite challenge…we used photos to create almost the entire background for our creations. We had a blast lifting Juliet and encourage you to try your own extra large photo design. It’s a great way to show off some of your best photography.

Here is Juliet’s page… Isn’t it gorgeous?

And here’s what our team came up with… Thanks for the inspiration, Ranie!

Happy Friday everyone! :)  It’s KellieP here bringing you another you rock layout!  I had so much fun digging around the gallery finding so many beautiful layouts…but this one caught mine & the team’s eye! 

Pixiedust…your layout here sparked tons of creativity among the team this week!

We all LOVED the white background and how it allowed the photo to just pop!  So…Lauren challenged us to all give the white background thing a try!  The results are AMAZING!  These are seriously my favorite lifts ever!  I want to lift each one of them!  (I bet you will want to, too!  Go on…give the white background thing a try!)  Here’s what we came up with:

Friday 13th! I don’t know about you but in France it’s bad luck … So, to go against back luck why don’t we lift a gorgeous LO ?

Today we want to feature Laura Watson gorgeous LO : A two’s Tutu party

You can leave her some love over here.

I love the colors and how she placed the photos inside the same frame. Love all the confettis on the boarders. Love the layering of ribbons underneath the photo. The repeated flowers, well everything is perfect !

Here is how the team lifted this gorgeous LO :

We stumbled upon this layout and we all fell in love!!  Luna25…your “Owl’s Cool” layout is truly stunning and inspired lots of amazing layouts this week!

Isn’t it sweet?  You can see Luna’s gallery here!

Here’s our take on Luna’s layout:

Thanks for inspiring us this week…and we hope you all are inspired to go and lift Luna, too!

Dixi (aka 2bg) created a layout that we all just fell in love with when we saw it in the galleries!  We all agreed that we wanted to try our hand at scraplifting it…it was so inspiring!  Dixi’s gallery always leaves me with my jaw on the floor.  She has such an artistic eye…you really should go and check it out!

Here’s Dixi’s layout (and layout is linked to her gallery, too!)

and here’s our take on it:

Barb (bho) was so inspired she made two!

Dixi, thanks for inspiring us this week!!

 We’d love to see all of your takes on Dixi’s layouts, too! :)  Have a great weekend and enjoy NSD!  I’ve informed my husband that he needs to take the kids out of the house for awhile so this mommy can play!

I’m loving our CT’s fun new twist on the “You Rock” feature. What’s better about finding great layouts than getting to play around with them yourself?

This week, we were all drawn to Sue’s “Jack’s First Birthday” layout featuring Little Dreamer Designs’ fun Hullaballo birthday kit. You can check out Sue’s entire LDD gallery : here :

Check out what Lauren’s team did with Sue’s page…
