When I saw this sketch I automatically thought about scrapbooking the photos I took of the dragon dance in Malvern. But I wanted to include some information about the dragon dance and the Year of the Tiger, a more educational layout than a feeling one IYSWIM. Plus I wanted to stretch myself in using colours I would not normally scrap with.
All of this meant researching on the internet, downloading images, creating text boxes etc all of which took time. And then of course I got to the point of not wanting to finish it and moving on to other layouts, this layout in a plastic bag and forgotten about.
Well the start of “Embrace Imperfection” by Karen Grunberg class on BPC and some of the posts on the message board made me go back to this layout and finish it off.
Lessons Learnt:
- I do like to scrapbooking with bright colours though still undecided if this is due to the colours in the photos or if I would use bright colours no matter what.
- Researching items on the computer is a drain on my inspiration.
- Using the computer for images, journaling and title took me ages. This and researching were the main reason for not finishing the layout. (Maybe need to get smarter if I use this method again?)
