    Yes! If I could pick a talent I think consistency would be it! My mojo is very up and down. I always love your pages - simple but also fun use of kits and embellishments!

    Yes... your shadows are amazing! Your pages are captivating, I think the shadows add so much!

    My talent is storytelling I think. I have very, very few pages without a story on them somewhere.

    Other than that, it's up in the air! Or, maybe it's being mistaken for a paper scrapper? LOL! I'm not sure that's a talent, but it cracks me up when it happens.

    What a great thread! I think most people would say I'm known for shadowing and clustering, but I see my strength as my technical proficiency with Photoshop. I've been making all of my own styles, actions and shapes (with the exception of stitching actions) since I started using Photoshop. I am also very conscientious of layer order, depth (how shadows and lighting should be manipulated), etc.

    Regarding templates, I love the design inspiration, but always spend a lot of time re-ordering the layers, applying my own shadows/lighting, etc. It's definitely not always a faster way of scrapping for me. I can lift a template/page faster than using the layered file.

    Since the topic of speed came up, I will say I am not a super fast scrapper. I feel so rushed in every other aspect of my life, so it's the one thing that I do to decompress. It's common for me to work on a page on and off over days.

    Clean and simple. and Art journaling in a simpler style. That must be it I think.
    Also I love using papers as an element,but that is just a preference,rather than a talent.
    That being said, it takes me about an hour,or even two , to do a clean and simple page.... fast is not one of my talents....:eyeroll

    That's neat that your talents seem to be changing constantly! And I do think it's a talent to be easygoing about your scrapping! That way you aren't over thinking things or questioning what you are doing!

    I think having fun could be your talent. Or maybe being able to adapt to many different styles to complete a layout! That could be your talent! :)

    From interactions I have had with you in the past, my talent for you would have been trying new techniques. I feel you never shy away from trying something new! At least that is how I perceive you!

    That's great! And see, this thread just shows you that even though we have this common creative outlet, we all go about it in totally different areas! Yours can be having fun trying them all!

    I feel we can all find our weaknesses or flaws waaaaayyyyy too easily! But actually admiting or finding something we are good at....that is a real challenge sometimes!

    Oh too fun! I've sometimes seen layouts in the gallery and wondered, is that paper! I feel my layouts "look" digital to me, but I'm ok with that!

    Back in the day I was known as a killer scraplifter, but now I'd say it's how I use items from a variety of designers to create a cohesive design.

    I love one kit style even if I sometimes uses a lot from different kits. I'm messy but love to make clean pages. Love artsy pages, like templates because I must be in the box and that is fun too. I think I maybe like all styles :D
