i want all the things ... on my page.

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.
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!!!

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!
 
hehe I drop all the ones I want into PS and place them on the paper and shift them all around and look at them for a bit and THEN cull the list .... that way I feel like I used ALL the things without using all the things .... well it makes sense to me :giggle
See now ... I do this too ... but I feel guilty hitting the delete key!
 
Well...I ALWAYS need a doily on my page...hybrid OR digital!!! LOL Seriously...look at my pages...there are very few that don't have one! My friends tease me all the time. They buy the ugliest doiles they can find and dare me to use them at crops!
