Scrapbooking Goals?

It is nearing the end of 2012 and everyone is looking toward the new year.  Do you have any scrapbooking/creative goals and resolutions?

For 2013, I have set some new goals and one of them is to make some time to create some cards, altered projects, art journaling and mixed media as 2012 I have put those on the shelf.  I love mixed media, and  art journaling but my scraproom needs to be organized more and I need to have a place that I can leave out my paints and different mediums to create on a whim.

Altering Items

Art Journal Doodling

Mixed Media

What are your scrapbooking goals?  Is it to make more time for creating, taking some classes or just to continue what you are doing now?  I would love to hear from you.

Have a great day and enjoy the last few days of 2012 doing something you love to do.

Some Exciting News To Share!!!

I have some exciting news to share and it totally surprised me.

Every morning,  I read the Calgary Herald Online Edition, which is my hometown newspaper.  The city of Calgary has a population of over a million people and you can understand how flattered and honoured I was  to read  today's edition, when I saw my blog listed under "Calgary Top Bloggers".  It is categorized under "Calgary Lifestyle Blogs"  You can see it here.  It is listed under "Calgary Lifestyle Blogs" as Love The Journey.

Wowsers! This really made my day as I spend a lot of time with my blog and thoroughly enjoy blogging, but had no idea about this.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you stop by often as I plan on blogging a lot in 2013.  Have a good night!

What Is Your Scrapbooking Style?

What is your scrapbooking style?  Do you know what your style is?  Are you:

Graphic

Artsy

Classic

Grungy

Shabby Chic

Whimsical

Sophisticated

Cutesy

Clean & Simple

Maybe you are a combination of two or more?  Practical Scrappers has a nice little feature on finding your style.

My style is whatever my mood is and what mood I want to create with my photos and layout.  It can change from one layout to the next.  Yes I am moody! LOL.  I love trying different styles and buying many different colours of patterned paper.  I love trying new techniques and textures.  I sometimes like to focus on the photo and keep the layout clean and simple.  It's fun for me to try changing my photos to black and white or sepia to create a mood or style.  For me, I love colour and am inspired by colour a lot!

In 2012, I created many different styles of layouts, or at least I think I did:

Classic or Sophisticated?

Shabby Chic

Artsy

Artsy

Whimsical & Artsy?

?

Sort of Classic and Shabby Chic?

I am not sure LOL.

After a while, I think my layouts sort of have a similarity to them even though they are different, if that makes any sense LOL.

I have also come to the conclusion that my style can be different with each layout and I do know that I prefer to scrapbook one photo and use a clean design.  I also think I tend to choose the same paper manufacturers over and over again but I love all the different companies.  Two pagers are a challenge for me, but I try to push myself to work outside my comfort zone sometimes.  I definitely do know that I am not really a grungy girl.  One thing I do know for sure is that I like to have fun with my scrapbooking and walk away knowing that  whatever I created felt good for me.  Art to me is something that should make a person feel good.  There are no mistakes in art and a person should not compare their art with others.  It should be soothing to your soul.  

Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment on what you think my style is.  I would also love to hear what your style is.  Have a great day!
