Trying to learn

I started paper scrapping over 10 years ago. My sister discovered scrapping and gave me a great scrapbook with pictures from all of the wedding showers I had had. She got married 6 months later and I made her one. If you look at the album I made for her, you would swear someone threw up stickers on several of the pages...that is just how terrible I was with adding them to a page. I never really got good at it, but I did start scrapping mainly by using idea books to scraplift from. The sticker ruined pages pretty much ended when I did that.

Which brings me to today. I see so many cute layouts with an assortment of embellishments peeking out here and there...but I wouldn't have a clue how to accomplish that look. Tracy has a technique challenge at SOTB right now, though, that made me give it a try.

Click here for details. I used Betsy Tuma's Pop Tart kit and that made it pretty easy because she has lots of fun things to play with in there. Plus, I practically copied Tracy's sample layout element cluster exactly.

I guess I'm still a scraplifting kind of a gal.
