Scrapbooking is a challenge. First, there is choosing the paper and colors. Aye-yi-yi, the possibilities! This rack is only one of many in the shop and they all look this 'kid in a candy shop' good. I can't possibly absorb it all, but I desperately want to. Maybe I should wallpaper a room in my house with all the different sheets? Antz, what do you think?
Second is the page layout. The teacher is quick to show us many amazing layouts done by past students and themselves. How do they do it? But when it comes to making my own amazing layout, it can be frustrating. I struggled with mine last night, but finally came up with something I thought to be relatively pleasing.
It *is* really neat seeing my wedding photos come to life in a colorful, tidy layout. When it is done, it will be something fun to look through (hopefully for anyone, not just us). Our wedding really was special and it deserves to be preserved this way and shared!
This wedding quilt page is not done yet, but shows the results of my layout efforts last night. It needs text and embellishments. A short text description will be written on the red square; in Scrapbooking this is called "journaling."
Sometimes I am overwhelmed by my own creative thoughts. So many ideas come hurtling at me, I can't possibly do them all. I am grateful though. What if I were bored? At least I am not that. My biggest mission is to sift through all the ideas on focus on just a few. That is really my biggest challenge.Blogarithm
