Well, I’m DEFINITELY not using construction paper anymore! It stayed pretty much the same for about 5-6 years, pictures and lots of journaling with a few die cuts and stickers thrown if for color. Then when scrapping supplies started to show up everywhere, I started experimenting more and more with the new products. I’m still a fairly clean scrapper focusing on pictures and journaling, but I definitely put a lot more thought into the artistic side of my pages. http://www.scraplove.com/light/Blue_Light_Carrielyn.php This is one contest you are not going to want to miss! <a href="http://www.coordinatescollections.com">Coordinates Collections</a> is sponsoring the December contest for ScrapLove!

Noah and I were both lucky to survive. I owe our lives to the amazing doctor and nurses that took care of us. I wanted to record my birth story but I wanted it to be private at the same time. This layout means the most to me. http://www.scraplove.com/light/Blue_Light_Dorothy_Larson.php Do you dream of designing for a professional design team? Do you think you have what it takes? Well dream no more! The winner of this month's contest will be offered a guest position on the LazerLetterz design team! http://www.scraplove.com/contests/LazerLetterz_Design_Team_Contest.php I like layouts that aren’t typical – that have something a little different. It might be a neat picture, or different use of an embellishment, or a unique way of putting the whole thing together. My list of favorites is a mishmash of things, but they all have something special to offer! http://www.scraplove.com/light/Blue_Light_Schnauzermom.php You are not going to believe this month’s contest!

For awhile, I turned to swaps as a way to get my creative juices flowing, and I thought they would help me build up my stash. Well, a year later, my room overflowing with toppers, borders, and tags (oh my!) and my albums are staring me down, playing with my mind…why are we still sitting here half full? (Half empty if you are a pessimist). http://www.scraplove.com/articles/Never_Ending_Scrapbook.php Scraplove is having a Fourth of July Layout Contest!

I see anything Making Memories and this odd desire overwhelms my common sense and I am obligated to buy their merchandise. Not that I have had many complaints. http://www.scraplove.com/articles/Making_Memories_Scrapbook_Paint_Review.php Do you have tons of extra tidbits left over from a sticker alphabet set or just a couple of embellishments that came with a set? Not sure what to do with them? DO NOT THROW THEM OUT! Chances are they can be used and you just haven't realized how yet! http://www.scraplove.com/articles/Extra_Scrapbook_Pieces.php Quick scrapping often means simple scrapping. Usually, the more detail you add to a page, the longer it takes, but if you want to make your pages look and feel like you spent a lot of time on them when iyou really didn't, use one of these tips: http://www.scraplove.com/articles/Fifteen_Simple_Scrabook_Ideas.php
