Blog Inspiration
When I was a very new scrapper and before scrapbooking had taken off online, I knew a lady called Julie. She and I attended the same monthly workshops. Along with a dear friend of hers, the three of us often sat together and scrapped. Each month, Julie would come back with finished albums to show us (in stark contrast to myself who usually had to scratch around to find the solitary half-finished page I’d starting doing at the last workshop!)
I began to observe how Julie worked…to discover her secret. The answer was surprisingly simple – she was a sponge. She literally absorbed every idea she saw and used it in some way. If she bought or borrowed a magazine, she went through each page methodly and used each layout idea in some way. Sometimes a colour scheme, sometimes the placement of page elements or sometimes a single embellishment idea.
I’ve long since lost contact with Julie (sadly), but I remember her methods very well. There’s not a shade of doubt in my mind that she has long since caught up on her stash of photos. She still inspires me today…and this blog.
(Thanks Julie…wherever you are.)
