Scrapbooking thoughts part one


I've never been one to steal ideas for my scrapbooking layouts. My scrapbooking started way before the internet dominated the world, so I've always just made my own creations as I went.

I still plan on doing my own thing....BUT....there are some majorly talented scrappers out there. As I attempt to cross this bridge into the world of digital, I find myself constantly looking for tips, help, inspiration online.

I stumbled upon the website called Two Peas in a Bucket and if you have ANY interest in scrapping you must go over there now. Digital supplies, chat rooms [my weakness!!], tutorials, challenges, and even a few selected "top dog" designers. Here are their bios, but don't say I didn't warn you. You'll be there for awhile:)

Here are a few of my favorite designers [although I could probably post about each one of them.] I am utterly fascinated with their digital skills. I can only hope and dream to get this good with Photoshop. I will admit that my traditional scrapbook layouts will PALE in comparison to these, so I probably should have posted about this website after I post about my own stuff.....but whatev. You guys will just have to see the best of the best first, and then my meager attempts later. Don't judge me, I'm just a humble little "hobby scrapper." I aspire to be like these designers someday.

SO NONE OF THE FOLLOWING IS MY WORK, OKAY?
[I'm not sure if it's legal for me to post these, so I linked to everything possible. ]


By Jill Hornby:

1. Untitled: LOVE the hodge podge style here.
2. Family Pictures: I love how this one looks hand drawn. Maybe that's the traditional scrapper in me because I love drawing on my pages, using my own handwriting. 3. Most Memorable: I'm a sucker for multiple pictures on a page, like this. And girlie flowers? Mmmkay.
Layouts by Mary Grace Abuzman:

1. Bamboo: I'm not a cat person but I LOVE this layout.
2. Picture Perfect: Now maybe I could handle something somewhat simple like this.
3. Mommy Love: Love it, love it, love it.
Tomorrow I am off of work, since I will be working on Saturday. Do you know what that means? Yup, lots and lots and lots of scrapping. I will continue my thoughts on this subject tomorrow [as I squeeze in some blog time between scrapping and lounging].

On a completely unrelated note: we talked to our landlord. He said the girl who viewed our apartment for 45 minutes [while we froze our butts off outside] is "very interested" and was taking notes the whole time. Now THAT'S a girl I could befriend...an anal retentive, detail oriented person! She is going to call our landlord back in one week. He also said our apartment "shows well." Go, us! Also, I changed our Craigslist ad to have our phone number and our anonymous email. After being posted for less than twelve hours, I have an inquiry gleaming in my inbox. I think we are getting somewhere, folks!
