So Danielle and I were talking the other night about what to do with ideas that we find in magazines, scrapbook stores etc. We talked about taking photos, but both agreed that while we love looking at the photos, these can sometimes be distracting when actually trying to create a layout. The problem is that we get too bogged down in the materials used in the piece rather than the design. Photos are good if you are looking at HOW to use a particular product or color combo, but both agreed we love sketches and needed someplace to keep them. We wanted something small that could fit in a scrap bag or purse -- this one is about 3x5. It started out, however, as approx 6x10 -- Danielle cut it in half and now we both have one!! I chose to decorate rather simple since I am thinking if I carry this as I plan, the cover could take some abuse. Just made this little nameplate on the computer. Of course I had to cute it up a little and add some ribbon!!
And, don't forget that the
SNIPPETS launch party starts today over at the
Simple Scrapbooks site! Stop by, look at the new stuff and drop Lain a message. Have a great day!
