What scrapper do you want to be when you grow up?

[beaucat]

I want to scrap like cindys732003. I have almost all of her layouts in my favs!

Who do you want to scrap like?

[alien21xx]

Dude... who does not want to be Lizzy? I triple *heart* her layouts! :D

My very favorites are Amy Stoffel, nikkiARNGwife and Aggie Aviso too! So maybe I'll have multiple scrapper personality. LOL

[AnnieBananie]

I wanna be myself. I dunno. I think everyone is super-good in their own way... but my style fits me best.

[Winter Ivy]

Cindy's whole Gallery knocks my socks off :thumbup: I was introducing a friend to digiscrapping last week, and I actually pulled up Cindy's gallery to show her how gorgeous digi scrapping can really be!

There are tons of other scrappers I wanna be when I grow up, and they are all SSD girls also!

-Diana

[melmos75]

If I had to pick just one it would be Sarah (my3hens.) Although there are many others that come in a close second!!

[ColleenSwerb]

I just wanna scrap period. :( This never-ending mojo slump is killing me!

I love all kinds of styles, so I can't pick just one. :p

[LeeAndra]

Definitely Cindy. Her work leaves me in awe, and she knows it. :wub:

[lizzyfizzy]

oh my word, jill, you're an easy payoff. LOL!!!! :D:D:D:D i'll slip you a couple lattes later.

[Amy Carey]

I want to scrap like cindys732003. I have almost all of her layouts in my favs!

Who do you want to scrap like?

ditto. She's my idol :P

[Paula]

You know, I just want to be myself. I know it may sound conceited, but I like my style. I've come a long way from when I started. I am true to myself AND my family loves the LOs. As long as my target audience (LOL) is happy, then I'm happy.

[kscwgirl]

Cindy, cindy, cindy. :)

[Jennifer]

Sheri. She blows me away.

[lauren grier]

elmo

[AnnieBananie]

elmo
Elmo's smexy.

[pewtertm]

Cindy, definitely. Her pages always blow me away.

[amystoffel]

When I first started scrapping there were so many people that I always envied/admired for their scrap skills...and still do. But when I get caught up in the comparisons it just brings me down :(

That being said...ummmmmmmm Sheri is def one of my scrap idols!

[newfiemountiewife]

I have tried to scrap like other people. All it ends up doing *to me* is making me feel bad, that I suck, and I'll never be any good. So right now, I just scrap as myself. Sure I'd like to be as good as lot of others, but I just am not, I am just me. I just want to improve MY style.

I'm just happy to be me I guess! LOL

I smooch you now.

I *heart* this response Jamie!! I feel the same way!!

[Becca Bonneville]

I love the work of many, but I don't want to be them. LOL I have my own style (or lack of maybe...) and want to improve on that. But for those I admire, I would have to say Sara(scarletsierra), Sarah(my3hens), Lizzy, Leslie(1girl1boy), and Crystal(crystalbella) to name a few. I love my girls! :wub:

[gracielou]

You know, I just want to be myself. I know it may sound conceited, but I like my style. I've come a long way from when I started. I am true to myself AND my family loves the LOs. As long as my target audience (LOL) is happy, then I'm happy.

You took the words right out of my mouth!! I think it is important to work on your own style instead of trying to be like someone else. The galleries would look pretty blah if everyone scrapped the same way. I love to see all the different styles.

[nanienamou]

I just love every single layout done by Cindy and by Sheri. :thumbup:

[mom2peanuts]

I love Becca's (beccaboo) and Emily's (babycake) galleries. I can always get inspiration from there. Becca has a beautiful, clean style and her photo editing is awesome. Emily has so much imagination, she always blows me away with her creativity. I also love Sara's(scarlettsierra) and Sammi's styles even though they are completely different. Sara is so inspiring and her little girl is adorable. And Sammi's clustering is really out of this world :)
There are so many talented scrappers here, it's really hard to pick one.

[scarletsierra]

I'm just happy to be me I guess! LOL

HUGE dittos to this. There are many scrappers I love and admire...but I've stopped attempting to emulate any of them and I try hard to embrace my own style and evolve and grow and improve. Makes me a happier scrapper. :)

Some scrappers I admire very much though are (from my very very VERY long list): Kristen (of K Studios), Gachal, Sarah (my3hens), Becca (Beccaboo), Peppermint, Crystal (crystalbella77), Chichenilla, Lizzy (lizzyfizzy), Leslie (1girl1boy), emi, BrendaJ, Cindy, and many many many more.

[emmasmommy]

Jamie, you couldn't have said it any better. There are TONS of people I look up to for inspiration, but if I try to make a layout like theirs and not like "me," I normally wind up trashing it anyway. I've finally found my style and I need to stick with it. It's nice to be posting pages that I don't hate.

[Rae's World]

I wanna be myself. I dunno. I think everyone is super-good in their own way... but my style fits me best.

I have to agree with Annie on this one! I'm not the best but it fits me.

[lizzyfizzy]

oh man, the list of scrappers i admire is intensely long as well: beccamyloverboo, scarletsexysierra, crystalmyotherloverbella77, cindy, kristen rice, amanda resende, kasia...seriously...i have a list that never ends. i think it's important to always try to improve techniques etc but never lose sight of why you do this and your personal style.

[amandabarugh]

Cindy constantly blows me away. Shannon does, as well. Amy's LOs are amazing, as always, and I also really love Becca's LOs. and Lizzy's. I also love La's! She does some serious journaling and everytime I see one of her LOs I wonder why I don't do journaling like she does. I really admire that about her pages.

[rachaelsscraps]

Though we all have our favorites- or scrappers whose pages we just plain love- I think it's very important to be a fan of ourselves first and foremost. If you strive too much to be like someone else, you'll never develop your own style.. annd the point of memory keeping for your family may be lost in trying too much to be like someone else!

[Mandy]

I like being me, as well. But I wouldn't mind a lil scrap magic from Kate Hadfield's little pinky. :p

[Megan Turnidge]

Ahem...

mturnidge


bwahahahah! Just had to throw my name in there since no one else ever does. :p :D

*giggle*

I, too, have to stop comparing myself. I think I'm a pretty good scrapper, but when I compare myself to others I admire... it makes my LOs seem not so great anymore.

[sprauncey1]

Ok I guess I am the sad person who has not found her style, or maybe I just don't want to commit to one! But for the life of me I just cannot start a page without some sort of inspiration be it either a template, a spin-a-lift, a favorite from a gallery or whatever. I am in awe of those of you who can just look at a blank screen open up papers and elements and just create a page. But that just isn't me I guess. I try and then I get frustrated because I have no direction and it just goes yuck on me and I give up.

But I consider myself to be a pretty good scraplifter (taking a design and adapting it to my kits and pictures, always giving credit and linking) and an avid gallery browser. I have my favorites in each gallery, but then I also have whole galleries linked in my bookmarks. I usually have the person's name as well as a description of their style (white space, multi-photos, realistic, whimsical, clustering) etc if they have one. I am drawn to all different styles so maybe that is why I haven't found mine! I like to dabble! I've been digiscrapping for over 4.5 years now so I don't think I am gonna change. But that doesn't mean I'm not happy with the LOs I complete because they are unique to me.

my3hens, CindyS and Kresta's are some of my favorites from here, but it really depends on my photos and my mood for the day. Like yesterday I wanted to play and create a whimsical LO just for fun using my own pictures, but the stuff here isn't really set up for that so I had to get that inspiration from other galleries, but its all good. I still am drawn to the more traditional too and actually some days a good clean line is all I need.

[SeattleSheri]

Sheri. She blows me away.
*blows lots of kisses* Aw, thank you so much sweetie! I adore your pages too!!!! :wub: :wub:

[SeattleSheri]

When I first started scrapping there were so many people that I always envied/admired for their scrap skills...and still do. But when I get caught up in the comparisons it just brings me down :(

That being said...ummmmmmmm Sheri is def one of my scrap idols!
Aw, you should never get down on yourself Amy! You have fabulous pages (and now designs)! Thank you for the loveliest of lovely compliments too :wub: :wub:

[SeattleSheri]

I just love every single layout done by Cindy and by Sheri. :thumbup:
*grins ear to ear* Thank you so much!!!! :wub: :wub:

[LibbysMommy]

So I do want to be myself, but there are a few scrappers whose talent I wouldn't mind having just a little smidgy of...

Sammi, Sheri and Cindy completely take my breath away with their pages. I mean wow. I find myself getting excited when perusing the gallery and seeing a new page from them!! :wub: There are so many more amazing scrappers, but those are just a few that, without fail, blow me away!!

[suze]

I wanna be myself. I dunno. I think everyone is super-good in their own way... but my style fits me best.

I *heart* you for this Annie! this is so true and I agree...

I want to be myself ;)

My layouts really tell who I am! they are MY STYLE!

[sammi]

I appreciate the compliments about my pages!

While I have many, many favorites, I really admire the real journalers out there...I totally wish I could fit more of that into my pages. I know I would appreciate them more in the future. :)

[SamaraGugler]

Hmmm

Annie?

[4noisyboys]

I'm totally inspired by so many...but I'm happy to be me!!

[crystalbella77]

I love the work of many, but I don't want to be them. LOL I have my own style (or lack of maybe...) and want to improve on that. But for those I admire, I would have to say Sara(scarletsierra), Sarah(my3hens), Lizzy, Leslie(1girl1boy), and Crystal(crystalbella) to name a few. I love my girls! :wub:

oh Becca Sweetie!!! I LOVE you!!! (I will get you your money later! ;) )

MWAH!!!!!! You are always way too sweet to me Sara!!! Seriously. Thank you so much!

[crystalbella77]

Well, my list of faves is INSANE! LOL!

Cindy, Sheri, Sammi, Lizzy, Sara (scarletsierra), Becca (BeccaBoo), Sarah (my3hens), chichenilla, Christine (scraptigz), Denise (neeceebee), Kate (kateypie), BrendaJ, Claire (shadesofbliss), VinniePearce does AMAZING pages, Lex (mrshobbes), Leslie (1girl1boy)....the list goes on and on and on! lol

Oh wow, this sounds just like me!!! I can not do the layout part!!!! I'm ok with picking papers and elements but I just need the initial where to put stuff! I do admire a lot of the scrappers here. I don't think I compare myself nealry as much I am just downright envious of those who seem to have that knack of putting a page together that looks effortless but wonderful.

[my3hens]

I totally feel this way too Sammi, I suck at journalling, so I don't do a whole lot of it, but I LOVE the pages with lots of journalling.....just look at Stephanie's gallery (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showgallery.php?ppuser=455) (scoz911), I love how much she journals on a lot of her pages and tells a story :)

Thank you for all the sweet compliments ladies, I'm totally flattered (and a little embarrased), there are so many amazing scrappers out there, so when someone can be inspired by one of my pages it's so nice to hear.

There is so much inspiration in the Sweet Shoppe gallery, it's one of the best around!! :)

[Sue Setiadji]

My style fits me - since Im already grown up Ill be who I am!
Luckily Im inspired by many - love anyone who can deliver the words but there is plenty of pretty and cool stuff out there for design inspiration. Its impossible for me to limit it to just one scrapper though!

My easiest number one inspiration to identify with is Life.:thumbup:

[Brooke W]

Becca Boo. For me it's a no brainer,lol. There are so many fab scrappers here, I hope they don't take offense,lol.

I'd like to add that I enjoy what I make and that in the end, it's what counts. But Becca inspires me to be more and to try more in my creative process. I don't want to scrap just like her, what'd be the fun in that,lol?

[Becca Bonneville]
