A few questions for you

Dawn, a fellow class mate in "Finding Your Way" posted some questions for people on the boards to answer if they wanted, just for fun. I gave it a ago, did some thinking and here is my responses:

1. Which lesson do you think helped you the most and why?
Oh this one is very hard! Can I do a list as there was not one thing! My two main ones are:
  • What scrapbooking supplies I do use. That I go for three shades of blue, red and green for my background colours, that I only like to use black titles and I do use a lot of flowers - these made me identify what I do need to spend my money on.
  • That there are several different ways you can add journaling to your layouts and that you dont just have to use one, dependant on the story you can use different ideas.
2. If you could've only picked one lesson this whole time what would it have been and why?
Actually looking at my layouts and understanding the common themes (with the help of others on the boards) and a light bulb realisation that these observations were true. This big step really helped me to embrace everything else I have learnt and feel more comfortable with trying new things.

3. Which lesson do you need to go back over and try something new from it or just reread it?
I think there are several lessons I would go over. The only ones I know I have discovered what I like, and feel I have finished them is the size of photos you use and preference to what you scrap and the size you scrapbook in.

4. If you could add one more lesson that's not here what would it be?
I think that I would incorporate "Embrace Imperfection" or highlight that the "Finding Your Way" class is phase two as they followed on so well from each other, and "Embrace Imperfection" that I completed right before this class really helped me get nto the right frame of mind.

From what I have learnt here I need to continue to progress my style and understand how I can get inspired by other peoples layouts and how to use them/ incorporate them within my layouts in my style. I am therefore signing up for the sketch class on here hoping that I can progress this.

5. Which lesson surprised you?
That in fact I am a 6x4 single photo layout girl with a preference for single 12x12. Before this I always thought I liked to scrapbook multiple photos on a page or do a double page but how wrong I was! I have series of photos with a story behind them and am now trying to get comfortable with creating a layout using them a single layout with 1 photo will not work.

All in all I have learnt so much about what scrapbooking is for me and my style that it just blows me away when I sit down and think of everything! A great class.
