Another reason that I like to scrap is it feels rather personal and affectionate. I have not shown many of my pieces to those the pictures incorporate so they wouldn't know or care, but when I chose a photo it really makes me think of that person and the papers and elements that would suit them, that reflect them...oh I'm so deep LOL! But take these two I did for my parents, I really tried to capture colours I knew they would like, that suited their personality. I have some lovely glitter kits but they just wouldn't suit my dad and the kit I used was from a French designer, even though we are not French although our heritage stems from there, I think the colours are really him. Whatever, I'm raving on... I did my mothers one quickly and without hesitation (maybe as we are so close), but I have been working and looking for the exact right kit for my dad so it have been in the making for a couple of weeks.

Oh I love both the layouts! They are just wonderful. I think my favourite is the one with your Dad. I know what you mean about buttons - notice I haven't used them either? I just don't seem to make them fit in right. We obviously are both lacking button talent. I'm so like you - the beading is great but very part time, and I'm wishing I made something for my mother and sister but time was not my friend coming up to Christmas. I do enjoy it. and I love wearing what I have made. The digital scrapbooking is also something I enjoy but again - part time. I think thats ok though - we have both learned tow new skills and hobbies that we can take up a notch at anytime we feel like it. Thats pretty cool really, dontcha think? Happy New Year!
You've been gone a while - hope it's a vacation or something fun!
Did you move?
