I definitely have my own style. It comes from the traditional scrapbooking I did for 8 years aka the CM style. Telling the story with photos and words.
I just can't get into messy or art journaling. And, mixed media just doesn't appeal to me at all. I want my photos to be the focus of my pages so usually tend to have minimal elements although I have learned to do better clusters. I will admit that I learned that by using templates from Fiddle-Dee-Dee. Cheryl is a master at clusters and watching her scrap she makes it look so dang easy!
I really admire a lot of the pages that have big full clusters but I can never get the shadowing right when I try it. My program does not do shadows the same as the PS family of programs but I'm now subscribed to some tutorials that are helping with that.
I don't really like doing single photo pages but once in awhile that is what the photo itself requires but I tend to put the photo as close to center as possible!
