What's your scrapping style?

What's your scrapping style?  As for me, I really enjoy different styles.  My husband, Tate, tells it best.  A different style makes my photo books more interesting.  So to show off my latest layouts, I sort of broke them down by scrapping style.

Artistic - This style uses a lot of blending and brushes.  Anna Aspnes has the best kits for this type of thing.  Anna really makes it easy for you to create layouts like these.



Linear/Graphic - When I do this style, I usually start with a template.  On line digital stores provides great challenges where you can snag a template for free.








Project Life - I wouldn't necessarily call it a "style" but definitely a style of its own.  Here I highlight one week on each page.  oops, missed week 14 somewhere.





Layered and Clustered - This is probably the style I do the least.  I'm just not comfortable with crazy layering and clustering.  I am always amazed by those who can throw everything but the sink into their layout.  But here is a few from me.  The first layout, I started with a great template by Lauren Reid then threw a bunch of stuff based on The Big Bang Theory.  The second layout is layering of all the Elemental:  Kym's Washi Tape onto the layout (not even sure what to categorize this layout as, I would love to call it Amy Tangerine style because she always use washi tape on her real paper layouts).



So what is my style?  I am by heart a minimalist.  I love white space.  Liz, of Paislee Press, is the queen of minimalist scrapping.  She is what brought me to love this hobby.  Over the years, I have been on various different creative teams, that allowed me to experiment and explore the different styles.  But when the day is done, this is the style that I am most comfortable with and what I end up loving the most.  Here are some layouts that show you what I mean.













So what's your style?
