Hi Everyone! Time for a new slew of challenges to get your creative juices flowing! This month, I'm hosting the Scraplift Challenge. I haven't done this one in awhile, and I will say it's hard! We have so many amazing scrappers!

This month, you need to choose TWO layouts from the April Froggy Favs and combine them to one layout! There are so many layouts shown off every month, so you get a true mix of creativity to inspire you! So, head on over, and pick your favorites and scraplift away! I can't wait to see what you create!

Here is my layout! Whew! I tried to really mix it up but you should be able to see components of both layouts that inspired me! I have a outer outline, script title, matted photo from Christa's layout, and I have a nature photograph, title on the layout and flower clusters from Cindy!

My layout uses Market Treasures by ninigoesdigi and Messy Noted No 2 template by Lynn Grieveson.


I was inspired by Christa's layout and Cindy's layout. You can find them here!



Remember our monthly challenge rules:

Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the April Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and to this thread.

The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month:

2 challenges = 10% off
4 challenges = 20% off
6 challenges = 30% off

If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate from the Lilypad! The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).


Note: When posting in the gallery, please post to the member gallery and then tag the "Scraplift challenge" and tag all the designers of the products used. Please link pages in the forum threads for challenges with the Copy GALLERY BB code. This helps the Pollys for checking challenges, plus everyone for leaving love! Thank you!

Thanks for the challenge Jenn!
My page:
The pages I was inspired by:
Nuage by Dady aka Geraldine ( I was inspired by the cat photo)

April 2026 TLP Monthly Photo by jagruti patel (I was inspired by the columns)
 
I am choosing these two lovely layouts:

Here is my take:
I lifted the cutout paper from the left page. From the right page, I lifted the elements falling down the right side of the page and the little tab on the left:

 
Thanks!

I lifted:
 

I love, love the simple monogram, and as soon as I saw it I knew this was it! My last name starts with a P, and not a fan of having a P on things. lol so went with the US
plus

then opened up my huge stash of artsy fun from Rachel Jefferies! The fun of the depth in clusters with flowers, and the ripped papers. I started tossing things on the page and clipping on to that big US.

And here's my layout - inspired by the divided page in one and use of the word strips & large photo in the other.

Hi Everyone....I love! Scraplift Challenges!...I think they are my favorite monthly challenge....And...when I get to combine 2 layouts , even better!!!...It is the potential and the surprise! that i like and the self discovery , along the way to creativity!...You just never know how it is gonna turn out! or inspire you to create! something new!!!...And being honest, I could have chosen so many other different combos ,amongst all of the beauties! I saw there!... :love

*I ended up choosing these 2 layouts :

*1. Are You Ready by @Veronique PINCEMIN


*2. Messy By @cinderella


*To me , these 2 layouts were just screaming to be put together in a scraplift. All of those blues and pinks ; so,I have lots of bright blues and pinks , mixed with green leaves, green flower and those green semicircles on the background paper , that I chose to anchor everything with. Please note that I have re-colored certain pieces to get the right color palette I was going for. I have butterflies, threads,strings, paint, word art,confetti,bows,hearts,brads/flairs and frames...I even used one of the same brads/flairs in one of the layouts I scraplifted...The "Life" brad/flair . To me, these 2 layouts describe the same kind of "Real life" is "Messy" vibe...So that is why I have the words "Real" and "Messy" included in my layout. I know these 2 layouts don't exactly take up the whole page, but mine does, as it continues on the same theme...
Not only is life messy and real, but it is at times all encompassing...My colors are a bit brighter, also to illustrate, that even when things get tough in life, and you feel all alone and terrified that you don't know where to turn or who to ask for help...Or maybe,you don't know how to ask for help , like I was feeling after my husband passed away...Loneliness and extreme grief can trick you into believing and thinking that all is lost and that you should give in or give up...I am here to tell you that I have lived that "true" part of the story , because that is what happened to me...When I finally found the strength to ask for help and realized that, I could not go it all alone without help...It was only then, that I started to see the light of hope in my own strength ; it was only then, did I start to see my dark , grey, grief-filled world, starting to fill up with the promise of color again...

* credits will be in my gallery*

I am choosing these two:
I took inspiration from the horizontal flow, the clusters of flowers, the word art and adding two photos, I really leaned into the paper flow of the first layer, using it as a clipping mask.
I fixed a flaw:
