my style

i believe that my scrapbooking style is a mixture of altered & clean. it reminds me of my yearbook title junior year-- "Organized Chaos." I love the trend of using non-traditional products like paint and fabric, but i also love the look of simple, precised scrapbooking.



so i did four lay-outs today, and if you look closely, you'll see aspects of both styles (although i focus on the more artsy/collage-y part, which i'm trying to improve). and all before 3:00!!! yay!

you can probably tell by all of the lay-outs and pics that i'm closer to my other sister. but i love my other one just the same, and we've come to terms even though we butt heads a lot. this is my fave l.o. out of the four i did today. i love the color combos, and the artsy feel reminds me so much of our trip to new york!! it's so funny because i even used steel wool (like the kind for washing dishes) to alter the cardstock!! LOL!!
