I Have a Confession to Make

I think it's time I let you all in on a secret. It's something I've been hiding for a while now. I haven't wanted to tell anyone for fear of the whispers and stares I might get from certain scrapbooking enthusiasts. And, even now, I'm a little afraid that revealing myself will cause all my scrapbooking friends to shun me.

However, I don't think I can hold this in any longer. So, here goes:

I am a .........

scraplifter!

Yes, it's true, I am one of those shameful people who look through scrapbook magazines and books and on scrapbook websites for cool scrapbook layouts and then (gulp!) copy them!

Before anyone calls the scrapbook police, let me explain. I do NOT copy these layouts exactly, nor do I claim someone else's layouts as my own. I really only use them for inspiration. In fact, most of the time, my layouts don't even look like the ones I "copied". And when they do, they have totally different pictures and colors.

So, I'm thinking. Why don't you join me in this "habit"? Come on, it is really a lot of fun. And, if you get very good at it, you can even begin to scraplift your own layouts. I'm telling you, it has made me more productive and my layouts so much more beautiful.

Try it, you'll like it! And when you do, send me a link to your layout and I'll put it in a future post.

Happy scraplifting!
