Freestyle????

My style of crapbooking is evolving...at least I think it is. I've challenged myself to get bolder and more courageous with my layouts in an attempt to really explore where my creativity takes me. It's scary sometimes. Things don't always turn out as planned....but I want to push myself and my abilities. A friend once told me that she was surprised that I liked the designs of this artist because she thought that I was a very "linear" scrapper. So I started asking myself why this different style was so appealing...and I think that the answer is that I want to let myself be this free in my own designs. This is what I am now trying to do... Be free with my designing.

Don't get me wrong, I love the very conventinoal layouts that I've created in the past but I found them kinda boring....or amybe I was just getting bored with doing the same things over and over......it might just be time to re-invent myself as a scrapbooker! Anyways, I used to created like this:

Actually, I really like this layout....it talks about my love for the BSB......No, I'm not telling you what BSB stands for....you'lll have to find out yourself.

I also draw inspiration from some other wonderful scrappers like Brenda Mae Teo who just landed a DT spot at ScrapGal and Ruth Akers who is just simply everywhere I look! This girl is on fire with her designs!! There's another girl, whom I only know as acanlooman, who is totally rockin' this freestyle thing! She definitely has found her groove!

Anyways, I'm tryin' some new things and hopefully my style will work itself out...all in good time.

It looks fabulous and I know what BSB is. LOL!! I totally understand about the style thing. I go back and forth to graphic and then to more artsy. I love them both for different reasons.
