Nic H's scraplift:
It was at a class in Brisbane where Nic Howard was first inspired by Heidi Swapp's masking techniques so she was thrilled at the chance to do her best at lifting a Heidi Swapp layout. Nic created her own 'spotty' background by using the negative leftovers of a 'glossy extras' packet and using the space where she had popped out some large dots, she created a pattern with Tim Holtz distress inks.
Nic has always admired the way Heidi always embellishes her layouts with minimal perfectly placed embellishments and it was this look that Nic wanted to make sure she maintained. She chose several small frames and diecuts and placed these carefully alongside glossy extras, stamped embellishments and a ghost clock. The result was a layout that was decidedly Heidi Swapp with that little bit of Nic as well.

Jaimie's scraplift:
Jaimie first became a fan when she attended classes with Heidi back in 2005 - her fast and fun, straight to the point style makes her style instantly recognisable and is the reason Heidi remains so popular. Heidi's favourite scrapbooking format is 9x9 and while Jaimie thought of creating this LO in that size she decided to go with HER favourite format of 12x12.
Heidi says that most scrapbooking product is scaled proportionally better on a 9x9 format and while scrapping the orginal LO to 12x12 Jaimie found that several changes had to be made in order to make the lift work. For instance there was too much open space that made the LO look unfinished so Jaimie sewed a border on her page with her machine, while this seems a simple thing to do the addition of this frame immediately broke up the blank space finishing off the page nicely.
Jaimie has also added Heidi Swapp decorative tape – it’s something that can be used over and over on any project and never goes out of style.

Steph's scraplift
Heidi has a very clean, crisp style and Steph has always admired the way she places her embellishments and makes them look really funky. Steph took a soft, feminine approach to the layout that Heidi created, and used her Fresh and Free line, with gentle pinks and blues mixed with delicate whites. She added the little frames from the Sassafras Lass new release to give her layout a vintage, eclectic feel and add to the freshness of it.
