Just a quick post before I go to bed.
I've been trying to look at different blogs -- particularly crafting and scrapbooking blogs -- to get a feel for how it all "works". I've got to admit, its a little overwhelming. I give lots of credit to these women who seem to be able to do a million different things and STILL manage to make amazing scrapbook pages, jewelry, or stitch a beautiful piece of art. (Do you women have more than 24 hrs. in your day? haha. And if you don't, can you tell me your secrets??) I love scrapbooking so much, and wish I had more time (or knew how to manage my time a little better) to be able to work with it more actively. In my last post, I talked about goal setting and accomplishing more this year. Well, focusing on my scrapbooking hobby is one of the major accomplishments I hope to achieve. Wish me luck!
And before I log off:
I do a lot of traditional scrapbooking, but I recently got into digital scrapbooking (I started it this past summer). I wouldn't say that one beats the other; they both have their strong and weak points -- digital scrapbooking is oftentimes less time consuming, but you cannot beat the asthetics of a traditional scrapbook page (you get my drift). Anywho, I had a little bit of time today and realized I hadn't logged on to my digi scrapbooking program in a while, so I thought I'd try to complete a quick page or two; I ended up completing FOUR in about an hour! See what I mean? When you're crunched for time, digi is the way to go!
So, with all that being said, I'm posting one of my finished digital scrapbook pages from today (I did this one for my husband...it turned out so much better than I thought. I think I'm even going to print it off and frame it in a shadow box for my mother-in-law.)
NOTICE: This is by NO means professional work; actually, I feel a little ashamed to be posting this when I've seen all of the intricate, beautiful pages some of these girls create. Bear with me, though. I'm still learning. (=
