Hi everyone and welcome to a brand new Grand Theft Layout Challenge!
Today I picked a gallery that has never been scraplifted here at ScrapMatters and I hope you’ll love it! The lucky lady is josette31. I love her work because she clusters a whole lot and her clusters are amazing to say the least! I know some of you are not fans of clustering, or you are not really familiar with it, but let’s look at it this way: double challenge for you!
So your challenge this week is to browse josette31′s gallery, find a layout you like and come back here in this forum thread with both the page you picked and the page you scrapped!

I picked:

and turned it into:

Hi everyone and welcome to another “issue” of the Saturday Special. The thing I like most about this challenges is that I often find some tutorials and tips that are new to me and teach me more tricks for learning scrapbook deeper.
This Saturday I also have a small tutorial for you. Some time ago I bended a lace into a circle for a CT layout and some CT member asked me how I did it. So I thought maybe it will be useful to someone out there, too, to see how to do it!

Let’s start with our small tutorial! First pick the lace, ribbon or element you want to bend and drag it into your empty page.

Now you should increase its height a little… well, you will learn it from experience, anyway, I increased my height to 160%.

Now in the top bar look for the Filter Menu –> Distort –> Polar Coordinates

It will open up another little window: Rectangular to Polar (yes, if you have a round object, for example a frame, you can convert it to a straight line with the other option!).

And voilà:

Your nice lace turned into a super cute circle to be used as a frame or a different element of your taste.

Your chance for this Saturday Special challenge is to create a layout using a bended element, so simple!

I hope you enjoyed the small tut!

This is how I used my new circle lace:

And here’s more inspirations from our wonderful CT ladies!
Ophelia (navaja77) picked a scallop and used the technique in GIMP. It created a flower type element:

Melissa (prettypeaches) used the technique on the stitches:

Kayla (keepscrappin) turned a white ribbon into a circle:

Fran (Fran98765) took a straight scallop clip of one of the papers and turned it into a circle for the scallop mat under the journal mat:

Amanda (dznyscrapper) turned a ribbon into a circle:

Welcome to another addition of Grand Theft Layout! I was browsing the hybrid gallery this week because I love hybrid though I can’t do that myself. While most of the artists who do hybrid don’t seem to do “plain” digital I noticed one that does both, and I should add, she does both great! So my pick for this week, and for you to scraplift is iScrap. Go on and check her gallery HERE, I’m sure you’ll be inspired as much as I am!

And without further ado, this is my own pick:

And this is my scraplift:
