Ilove sharing my pages with family and especially the kids. At this age its sooo cute to see their faces when they see themselves as babys, I cant wait to watch the expression change...maybe even to scrap it.<br /><br />I look at all the busy pages full of product and I just loose interest, it all looks way to hard and expensive and I end up with scrappers block. I like to step back and revisit some beginner tuts.<br /><br />your pages have always held huge motivation for me, I think you have agreat balance of photo, paper, story, technique and embellishment in and easy affordable way, Always been a huge fan of your pages Tracy xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114071641275162610.post-18780944456097588962012-09-10T19:58:23.668+12:002012-09-10T19:58:23.668+12:00Well you know I’m not a big fan of journaling, but...Well you know I’m not a big fan of journaling, but that has more to do with my spelling and I hate my writing than lack of things to say, but I have been trying lately. <br /><br />As for why I scrap, I would like to say I am making heirlooms for my great grandchildren but really it’s not, I do it cos I enjoy it. I like making things and if I’m not scraping I’m doing something else crafty…I think a lot of the over whelming pages you see now are in response to posting Los online, everyone is busy trying to outdo each other now days to see who can get the most comments on a project. Like don’t get me wrong comments are nice and all but not everything.<br />thid coull chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799866970515697903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114071641275162610.post-3544114980448168272012-09-10T19:41:35.488+12:002012-09-10T19:41:35.488+12:00for me it is getting down the stories that make up...for me it is getting down the stories that make up the fabric of our lives - sometimes it is hard to tell someone what they mean to you in person, but you can put it in to your journalling and then perhaps from that move to telling them. I love the very arty stuff I see but I can not see it being "my style" because I need the story told and that for me means more clean lines, focus on the photo and of course, the journalling!Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840787771905222531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114071641275162610.post-61512998409190944722012-09-10T19:35:56.141+12:002012-09-10T19:35:56.141+12:00GREAT great GREAT post!!!!
