Please.

I'm looking over your Summer Bucket List for the nth time. I mean I've always been seriously impressed by your hybrid skills but if I could even learn how you cluster those little designs on your bucket list pages my scrapbooks would be ever so much improved.

and I'm drooling over

I'm not Rebecca, but that sort of thing just takes practice. There's been lots of talk about clustering and wanting to cluster in the forums in the last few weeks, and the general consensus is really to just practice. Pick a page or idea and straight up copy it and try and make it work for yourself.

thank you!!

You make me blush... I don't think I am as good at clustering like some of the Babes are! I agree with Col... it's that practice thing. If you saw some of my earlier work... oohhh... horrible! What has helped me the most is working with cluster templates like Cindy's... and then when I try it on my own I think, What Would Cindy Do? She usually has one large, medium, and small elements... and I just begin to play with it... resizing the each element into each of the categories until it looks real, working in one small cluster at a time. Then adding additional items... keeping with the designing in thirds, odd number of elements, and mirror images...

Maybe that helps?

Yes, thank you. Those hints do help.
