Hmmm. I'm not much of a blogger. I'm not much of a writer at all. I'm good at science and things that follow a pattern, recipe or procedure. I like to cook and bake with recipes. I get nervous when a recipe isn't involved. :o) At work I have a set way of doing things. I follow the procedures exactly and get great results. It's nice to know what you're going to end up with. If I don't get what I expect, it bugs me and I have to go back over everything until I figure out why.
My scrap book pages tend to follow a pattern and procedure. My friend Vicki has been helping me to learn not to follow a pattern with scrapbooking. When I frist started scrapbooking several years ago, my pages looked like a photo album with little captions at the bottom. Vicki took me by the hand and slowly broke me away from the photo album look. :o)
I'm still getting used to the idea but my very first digiscrap page was something I thought I'd never do. It was a single picture on a page. I used to think that it was a waste to only put one picture on a page. I guess digiscraping has freed me from the idea that I'm spending to much money on supplies to only display one picture. :o) I love the freedom that digiscraping gives me to have a crazy layout or take the same pictures and or things and make a simple layout.
However, I'm starting on a new bad habit that I think lots of people have in the digi world. The quest for perfection. I've remade the same page several times trying to get it just right. I always seem to see something else that would be so much better than that other thing I did. :o)
I guess scrapbooking is opening me up to a more creative side. I still have a procedure for my scrapbook pages, but it's slowly changing to be more creative and less patterned.
