The book...titled LIFTED..was passed on as part of PASS THE BOOK: YEAR 2...the 'goodies' just because Helena is part of the scrappy/blogging caring community!
Now I realise that most of you scrappers out there will think..'Well, I actually KNOW how to scraplift, so why do I need this book?'...but it's a book about scrapping, with lots of lovely layouts to drool over AND shows how you can 'lift' certain elements of layouts, without lifting them in entirity (something I'm very prone to doing!)..what's not to like?!
As a result of spending some quality time with this book (!), I have been able to 'lift' this layout by my lovely friend TRACEY
As you can see, Tracey scraps beautifully, but in a TOTALLY different way to me (you really should visit her Blog: her work is fabulous!)
In this layout, the row of flowers with the twine wound through it as the butterfly's trail, as well as the actual butterflies were what really caught my eye. I concentrated on that part of Tracey's layout and, using this sketch from LET'S GET SKETCHY......
... produced this

I substituted a mix of flowers from my stash and wound purple twine around them...added a couple of butterflies...and I reckon its a 'scraplift'!
