Mad Cropper Layout of the Week: Why I Scrap

Why I Scrap by Lee

This caught my intention because instead of just writing down why Lee scraps, she chose to create a layout about it and again, it’s a layout that she can call her own rather than layouts for her loved ones and significant others :-)

Lee writes

I prepared this 3×5 poster for Maria Grace Abuzman’s class last January 13, 2007. Grace made me reflect on why I am really into scrapbooking. Nope, it’s more than just the pretty paper and embellishments.

I used Adobe Photoshop CS using the trial and error method or kapa method. I’m starting to enjoy making digital LOs because while I am not really good at it, it’s so easy to undo mistakes. But I love the feel of paper LOs still. Courage, Lee. Like other scrapbookers before you have realized, there are no mistakes in scrapbooking.

Embrace the imperfection. - Ali Edwards

    Thank you for featuring my layout, and for reminding me of why I got started in this craft in the first place - to remember and be remembered. I should post a large version of this in my scraproom. Truly, in the face of the many challenges, contests, the need to be recognized, etc., it’s so easy to forget why I am into this. Thank you for reminding me in my own words.
