I was in two minds if I should sign up for this class as I have learnt from “Finding my Way” that I need to understand my own style rather than copying someone elses pages directly. But the idea of seeing a range of peoples interpretations on a sketch, identifying those elements or layouts which inspire me and using the sketch as a basis for my own layouts and what is really “me” sounded to good an opportunity to pass up.
Unfortunately this class ran during a very busy month for me with commitments outside of my scrapbooking world so I was hindered to the amount of attention I could give towards this class.
I did look at the handouts and the gallery – thank goodness for some internet access on my mobile phone. But I was disappointed that there were not more examples of totally different interpretations of the sketches by other BPC teachers. I think this would of been very useful in the current position I am in understanding what my own scrapbooking style is.
I am currently working on one layout from a sketch in the class. I am pleased with the way it is turning out but it is taking some time to complete – a combination of other commitments and my playing around with the items to use on my layout and their position.
I do know that not having the sketch out all of the time has helped me scrapbook my way rather than doing a straight copy of the sketch. And I do look forward to using other sketches from this class to inspire me to scrapbook other layouts.
