Title: Paper Hearts
I'm not what one would call "creative" when it comes to scrapbooking. There is a reason my preferred art is photography, mostly because I don't have to create something out of nothing. With scrapbooking, as with arts such as painting and sculpting, the results are completely from the mind of the artist (aka, Scrapper). But, with photography we are usually just manipulating some source material (the photo) until we create a object that we want to display. If I want to show someone a bird, I go find a bird, take a picture of it, perhaps edit it a bit and, BAM - a picture of a bird. But, for a Scrapper, they get pens and paper and die-cuts and punches and machines and rulers and tape and glue and stamps and, BAM - You have a 27 page journal on the entire life and history of a sparrows. So, as you can see, slightly different.
But, while I've got as much creativity as a gnat when it comes to scrapping, I do love using the die-cuts and punching out a zillion little things that will never in fact never be used and instead end up embedded into the floor for 20 years. Weee!
Enjoy
I loved this collection of posts about scrapbooking. I especially love this one because who hasn't cut a million shapes out of paper just for the sheer joy of it. And yes, we may (emphasis on may) never use them, but we know we have them just in case.
