I love challenges, but sometimes, it's a bit too much and like you, I don't scrap much for fun anymore. Well, I still really, really enjoy scrapbooking, but I don't work for ME only a lot these days. <br /><br />Also, just like you, I love to try different things! It's fun. That being said, I don't think we should try to stick to only one style to please manufacturers. What's important is to have fun, and if we start scrapping only to please others, it won't be fun anymore! :)mariemilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334872177904805312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662272006264451331.post-65831769112252436772012-08-30T13:20:10.243-04:002012-08-30T13:20:10.243-04:00I absolutely agree with what you've said. I to...I absolutely agree with what you've said. I too have questioned the same things and come up with the same dilemmas. I think you're right that manufacturers and big DT's want a predictable style so they know that can trust you not to come up with something weird and wacky! For me personally I like to think I mix it up a bit too, sometimes clean lines and graphic design, sometimes arty and 'messy'! And if someone asked me to describe my style I would have real trouble. However, I've been told on more than one occasion that my pages are recognisably mine and I think that's the marker of have a particular style. And I guess when it comes down to it, there are techniques and features on my layout that I do time and time again, just because I prefer it that way.... even though the rest of the layout is 'experimental'. So what I'm trying to say is, whilst you commonly try new things and consistently challenge yourself, you'd probably be surprised to know that people would still consider you to have a particular Keren-style, even if you can't see it yourself! At least that's what I'm finding out about myself :-) But ultimately I say forget all that confusing nonsence and just create because it makes you happy. That way it doesn't matter if DT's come or don't come. <br />xxxNatalie Elphinstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245472307001550062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662272006264451331.post-58710740360785911462012-08-27T15:10:45.638-04:002012-08-27T15:10:45.638-04:00I know what you are talking about with the style.....I know what you are talking about with the style...I also change up my style all the time.

I think the most important thing is that you should just by YOU, in scrapping like in everything else in your life. You know what the song says: "I love you just the way you are".... :))<br />I must say that I myself like better to see different styles in one's work, rather than the same again and again. I find it much more intersting to see the way one changes her/his style.<br />But like I've said before, it doesn't really matter what someonelse thinks about your style, cause what matters is what you thing about it, and what you like or dislike.<br />I'm so happy to read that you've had a fun family vacation. I'm sure it was much needed.<br />You take care and just continue doing what you love, cause you do it beautifully, and this lo is no exception.li-bee-tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052989163501231007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662272006264451331.post-59845435691571454942012-08-26T10:16:41.084-04:002012-08-26T10:16:41.084-04:00Great layout Keren & I agree that it is nice t...Great layout Keren & I agree that it is nice to just do something for yourself sometimes.

For me, the photos dictate the direction of the colors and the style. While it would be a dream to be on a manufacturer's DT, I guess I have to be true to who I am. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong creating unique, stunning, and absolutely gorgeous pages like this one. ~ Blessings, Tracey<br /><br />http://gracescraps.blogspot.com/<br />gracescraps@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646713118809880180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662272006264451331.post-44424950376205883302012-08-25T08:26:21.607-04:002012-08-25T08:26:21.607-04:00Last week I asked my blogland friends the same que...Last week I asked my blogland friends the same question and LOL...I am still nowhere near the answer!

As far as style, I think you should create what is in your heart. It is good to have different styles, if you can do that. I also think that a manfacturer may look at that as a positive. The main thing is have fun and create what your heart is speaking to you, or scrapping will become a chore....I believe in keeping it fun....keeping it so you like what you're doing...this is the part of your life where there really are no rules!<br />This new lo of yours is absolutely FABULOUS!!!
