bluecastleAs I've mentioned pretty much constantly on twitter lately (sorry!) I've fallen back into the world of scrapbooking. My bank account is not thanking me, but I'm enjoying it and rolling with what feels very like an infatuation. It remains to be seen if the love is lasting. Hopefully it will be now that I've replenished my supply stash!
But MAN if you think fandom gets up to some crazy "you must do things one certain way" hijinxs ... its got NOTHING on some of the scrappers who I seriously wonder about. I'm just in it for the pretty papers and cool stuff and a way to tell my stories with pictures. Some people are VERY invested in making sure things are done in very particular ways.
And I guess everyone has their own view, and live and let live and all that. But wow. Loosen up a bit people. It's really okay if you a) use a piece of paper more than once and b) just because a certain manufacturer puts out certain collections of papers that go together, you can mix those papers with pieces from other manufacturer's collections. It's only paper. And there is no such thing as the paper police.
It's all very strange. But then aren't we all??? ;D
