Would you Rather - Scrapping Edition

[JillW]

Our grandson played "would you rather" with my husband and I last weekend (it was cool that he was really interested in our answers) - I thought it would be fun to start a little Would You Rather, scrapping style thread.

Would you rather:

* Scrap while watching TV or listening to music
* Scrap with bright, happy colors or use a darker, more dramatic color scheme
* Scrap using a template or let your imagination flow
* Have lots of greenery and flowers or have lots of paper-like elements / stickers
* Use a script or do repetitive steps manually
* Use black and white photos or colored photos
* Scrap people or scrap places / scenery
* Mix and match designer's kits or use a kit or collection from one designer
* Use a solid background paper as the bottom layer, or use a patterned paper
* Use masks or scrap without them

[craftytam]

* Scrap while watching TV or listening to music
I usually listen to podcasts or have YouTube videos going when I'm scrapping.
* Scrap with bright, happy colors or use a darker, more dramatic color scheme
This is a tough one because it depends on the photo theme. For my grandbabies I like bright, happy colors.
* Scrap using a template or let your imagination flow
Definitely a template!
* Have lots of greenery and flowers or have lots of paper-like elements / stickers
Lots and lots of greenery and flowers.
* Use a script or do repetitive steps manually
Repetitive steps manually.
* Use black and white photos or colored photos
Another tough one. It depend on the subject. Sometimes if a color photo isn't the best, I'll turn it black and white because it looks better.
* Scrap people or scrap places / scenery
While I do enjoy scrapping scenery, I love reliving memories of people.
* Mix and match designer's kits or use a kit or collection from one designer
I love to mix and match, but it does take a lot more time. So this depends on how much time I have to spend on a page.
* Use a solid background paper as the bottom layer, or use a patterned paper
Give me all the patterns! But, I have learned to tone them down a bit so the photos take center stage.
* Use masks or scrap without them
Hmmm....Most of the time scrap without them. Although I do love some of the pages I've seen where they've been used.

Scrap while watching TV or listening to music——I’m more of a show watcher, so I scrap while I’m watching my shows.
* Scrap with bright, happy colors or use a darker, more dramatic color scheme—oh I like to keep this fun and swing between color palettes. It’s usually driven by mood.
* Scrap using a template or let your imagination flow—prefer to let my imagination flow
* Have lots of greenery and flowers or have lots of paper-like elements / stickers—lots of greenery and flowers.
* Use a script or do repetitive steps manually—my the time I get to word art I’m like oh crap and usually use the strips.
* Use black and white photos or colored photos—black and white for sure.
* Scrap people or scrap places / scenery—usually people but this is impacted by mood
* Mix and match designer's kits or use a kit or collection from one designer—I love mixing things up!
* Use a solid background paper as the bottom layer, or use a patterned paper—depends on what I’m scrapping and the papers. They each need to shine and enhance each other vs distract.

I am right there with you - I love templates and sketches to get the creative juices flowing! If I don't use a starting point my pages all look exactly the same lol

[shawnbear]

This is such fun!! I enjoyed reading everyone's responses & seeing who matched me.

* Listening to Music
* Bright! I gravitate towards. I like darks too. But Bright is where it is at for me. And I STRUGGLE with pastels.
* Template Junkie here!
* I love to cluster and the flora and fauna help with that.
* Repetition baby!
* I bounce back and forth. I usually only do b&w when the photo coloring clashes with the colors of the layout. Or for a more striking effect.
* People!
* So in the 15 years I have been scrapping I was a 1 kit scrapper. However, during the Summer Scrap-a-thon, I found myself mixing kits...and I LOVE it!
* I lean towards patterned
* I LOVE masks!
