Do you have a scrappin' style?

[Kater07]

Are you an archivist, laying out your photos in order and telling their story? or a Memory Keeper designing pages around the events and journaling like crazy to keep the memories alive? Are you a white spacer or a fantasy fanatic? Is your scrapping your art, your muse, you therapy, your obsession?

Tell me, what kind of scrapper are you? Do you delve into different aspects of scrapping? Do you have a favorite page? Show me!

My style is ALL over the place, at times the memory keeper, but most times it's my art, my therapy. I love starting a page and having it come to life with my memories or my expression of self.....

I scrap "as the spirit moves me." Sometimes I'm preserving a memory or an event. Sometimes I'm evoking a mood, capturing a feeling, or interpreting a thought. Sometimes I just want to play with pretty shapes and colors and textures, LOL. I love that scrapping can be so individual and so diverse :)

That being said, I'm sort of in a rut from a nuts and bolts standpoint. I feel like I'm using the same formulas over and over again...

perhaps this will horrify some old school scrappers!
I haven't printed a layout in 2 years!
I put them on disc and have on slide show...
I am trying to make a book to have printed..but as I feel like it!!

I scrap as a fun hobby, I love the people I meet, the joy of learning how to get my program to do what I want...and I love comments! that is like instant gratification!
So I scrap for me...it is a thrill to open a new kit, especially with a deadline and ponder how to use it, what technique I can learn or use or combine with another. I love finding the right pictures from my 100s taken every day to incorporate into the newest layout.
I entertain myself while staring at the screen and rearranging other's labors of love kits!

Well, I definitely don't think "journaling like crazy" would ever describe my style! I do like to scrap events or the everyday photos. Sometimes I am more artistic, other times more utilitarian. Depends on how I feel or how many photos I need get done! lol

I generally scrap all over the place. Whatever the move is --that is what I scrap. Generally, I love to scrap my animals. They know when I get the camera out it is picture time. So it depends on the pictures I use, will depend what I come up with. I like to learn and try new things, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but at least I've tried. Scrapping is great therapy--it helps me relax.

I, too, am all over the place. I've tried fantasy, and love the look, but sometimes I feel guilty because I have TENS of THOUSANDS of photos of my kids to scrap for their memory books. Sometimes I just grab from my favorite folder - August of 2008 has been my favorite place to grab photos since I started taking them that month. Sometimes I journal, sometimes, I just date, sometimes I go in order, sometimes I am all jumbled up (it's been a jumbled up couple months).

I love to keep memories (in theory)... squirrel!!!

See, I just get so distracted.

Scrapping is usually very relaxing to me, and I do it often.
