Even when I use printed paper that forces you to place your pictures in a particular spot, they look like this, just so-so. They actually look better in person, but who'd believe it? Not me. I couldn't come up with an original idea if my life depended on it. This is why I admire everyone elses work so much and why I highlight other blogs here.
I've been looking at scrapbook layouts for years and I know what good looks like. I have great taste! I just don't have great talent. It doesn't stop me from scrapping....and it doesn't seem to stop my family from thinking I'm a creative artiste, but it is what it is.
I DO like my mini books though. They're cute and little and fun to play with.
