Step 1.
Take a look at this layout ... here
Step 2.
Now look at my layout ...
Questions ...
Do you think it is a scraplift?
Do you think I was just inspired by the original design? Is that the same as scraplifting anyway?
Should I or should I not submit my layout to a magazine?
Oh just to add ... the little flag at the top was inspired by Waleska Neris in this post (fourth layout down)!!

okay are those trick questions??
I plead the 5th.
seriously
if you go by what the article said, it is a lift.
you copied her "Design"
But then again...who is to say that you both didn't find the same sketch online???
See?
CONFUSING!!!
Whether you sub or not... is a personal choice
When i first looked at the other post i wondered where this layout was that you 'lifted'.
Then i looked closer and saw the drawn border inside the page and the elements that were placed similarly inside that border.
I think there could be a LOT of pages that have a border such as this with elements placed within that border - with inspiration NOT from this girl... it isn't something new or cutting edge. (border with elements inside)
It did not strike me immediately that these were similar. But if you drew inspiration from this chick then a credit wouldn't harm.
As for submiting - well IMO is is VERY different to the original so that would be fine.
JMO.
and more to this -
you have been inspired by ONE aspect of this girls page.
The other things are so very different - the flag, the papers, the machine stitching, the stars, the photo placement, the title placement, the journalling spots.
Instead of focusing on what is the same, look at what you have done differently and see that you have made it YOUR OWN.
It is nothing at all like hers.
The border is the only thing. And whoop de do dar.... it isn't as if that is a breakthrough technique.
mmm meredith, firstly it looks fantastic, and I expect it will get picked up if you submit it.
I didnt really read the scraplift etiquette articles,so I probably dont have much credibility on the subject, but in some ways it does seem similar to the original,I think mostly because of using the border, and yet your layout is also entirely different too.
I probably would sub, but credit the original layout as inspiration maybe,?
Gorgeous page Meredith! Given it is a such a grey area I think it's best to go with what YOU feel comfortable with, because the answer will be justifiably different for different people. I think that the page is very much yours. Tatum xx
Yes, there are similarities in the pages, but is it just the sketch/ design that is similar??
You have made it very much your own...the pp background, the stitched border, no paint or misting, the embellies are different...
I love it Meredith, great design....i just might have to lift it myself!!LOL!
