Regular scrapbooking or when you can?

When I was paper scrapbooking I did something 6 days a week. Whether it was designing with a pencils and a sketch pad, or looking up color schemes, or working on a layout that was slowly coming together on my desk.

I enjoyed it so I created time to do it. Bear in mind that our girls don't live here so I had plenty of time. I scrapbooked and cooked. (DH cleaned up after dinner, not me. smiley )

Hi Sharin,

in my pre-PC days, I drew. I love the graphics and drawings, only then painting. I am much in our urban art museum. I also have in my gallery a scrap with drawings from this hall.

Later I got to know the PC through a brother-in-law who worked in Switzerland as a computer scientist, he already had a Commodore at home. Then I got to know the digital graphics on the Internet and was thrilled.

Everything neatly on the hard disk, no space and expensive instruments in reality, I liked that.I had a stressful job in shift work, so I had no patience for real crafting. I have also no more space for hobby equipment because of many books. And so I learned after the flat rate for the Internet became cheaper, then Photo Impact 8 in German graphics forums. And today it is my favorite hobby next to my English roses in the garden. Now I'm learning Gimp, which is very similar to Phoshop and...free.

I agree with you, Doska. Though I haven't finished a complete digital scrapbook page yet I can already see how much less space this hobby takes. For me, it's just a PC and my brand new EHD (2T).

And I agree also on liking the free stuff! ;o)

I always set to try regular. But it always ends up "When I can"
