but more than scraplifting...
There is a LO in the gallery that I want to copy...almost completely. I have the perfect pic for it. My question (aside from giving the credit), is it an unspoken "no-no" or is it flattering?

 I would guess that it depends on the person.  If it was me, I would find it flattering.  I've only been scraplifted once - and that was a layout that I used a template for!!!

ETA:  I guess if they used a template, then you might should go get that template, too, or at least give the template maker credit, too.

 Most people I've ever known considered it a compliment if credit was given.

 I would definitely consider it a compliment.

 I would be so flattered!!

 dude, Lisa you can TOTALLY scrpalift me .........












seriously I think just about anybody would be flattered, but if you aren't sure send them a PM with the LO you want to lift and see if it's ok....

I've done that before. I pm'd the person and told them I did it and linked them up to mine. I made very little changes. She was really flattered. As I would be too. I say go for it!!



ETA: I wouldn't use that lo for pub submission or contest entries though.

 I would consider it a compliment!

 If someone lifted me, I'd be on cloud 9!

 I would consider it a compliment - why don't you pm them and ask ?

 Thanks, Ladies!

I would take it as a compliment, too. I just wasnt sure what others thought since it was a COPY (as much as I can), not just a scraplift. I thought about just PMing, but didn't want them to say yes because they were on the spot. So, I wanted to get their unbiased opinion before asking.

Looks like pretty much everyone would be flattered including myself!  

 Very flattering to be asked as far as I am concerned and definately ask! 

 Very flattering as long as credit is given!

 I would think it was a great compliment!! Def. give credit to original.
