Hi ladies:
I have been wanting to scrap for a long time now but have been completely overwhelmed and finally decided to take the plunge on Saturday. I attended a Creative Memories Crop till you Drop and really loved it but left so confused. I have created 3 pages but only using triangles in my corners, basic lettering at top, some light journaling and a few stickers. Help! Where do I go from here to learn some other techniques and make sense of all the terminology?
I have so many questions? With regard to lettering, do most of you use stickers, stencils? Do any of you incorporate print from a computer into your books? If so, do you need a special paper to do so? I am type A and like things pretty neat and symmetrical. Every time I write, I end up with very crooked lines. What are punches vs. die cuts? What tools do you have that you can't live without. As you can see, I am extremely GREEN. Looking for suggestions, recommendations on books, classes, etc. My next Creative Memories get together is on 8/24 but I hate to wait till then.
Thanks and LisaTX, Bev.......love your pages.
