Scraplifting isn't the bad word it's made out to be! In fact, you can find a ton of inspiration from what you see on someone else's layout. So go ahead and give yourself permission to "steal" what you love from another scrapbook page.

Here's an example of scraplifting one element from an inspiring layout.
