I think I need to carve out some time to watch some Cheryl videos. Her pages are amazing - which is why her templates are so loved and awesome. That's a great idea to learn how to cluster better!!!I saw this thread and had to add my 2 cents. I was waiting for Cheryl @gonewiththewind to comment as she is totally amazing in her cluster work and does pretty much seem to use anything and everything that is in a kit. I'm hooked on her you tube videos and since I am cluster-challenged, I've actually learned quite a bit from watching them. Yes cluster-challenged even though most of my pages do look like a mess, I haven't yet mastered the C&S style.
@jenn mccabe I admire you and anyone who can scrap with photos. I apparently am photo-challenged as well. What some people here do effortlessly, put together page after wonderful page of layouts with photos, I have such a HARD TIME plopping a pic on a page and then coming up with elements and whatever to do it justice. I've gotten better, but the journey is long and full of obstacles.
@cinderella I found it interesting that you made bookmarks, etc. in your blank space. When we had the option to do hybrid ATCs here at TLP, I would do hybrid and always print something in the margin or blank space of my 8.5x11 so that I could cut and re-attach. Yep, I'm pretty thrifty too. That may be one reason why all of my pages are 8.5 x 11. I can print with no waste and I can use archival safe page protectors found in an office supply store.
And I have to say ... while I love your AJ style pages so much ... you always impress me with your photo pages! So I'm shocked to hear you say you don't think you can scrap w/a photo. I've seen so many photo pages from you lately - especially those treasures of days past ... and I am always in love with them! But maybe it's just that it is harder for you to do/takes longer/not your usual comfort zone? Anyway I think they are beautiful pages!
