Oh wow this is amazing! Love the vertical design and your choice of colour

Love all the little details, and how you adapted the sketch , the big circle is perfect, looks like a chalkboard!

This is great Rae! Perfect page to commemorate your retirement ;)

Love the soft colours and that great cluster!

I added a bit to the sketch - my usual clustery self! lol

Thanks for these tips, I will try that! I have been massaging it but kinda haphazardly, I need to do better with a routine.

@Cherylndesigns @bcgal00 @faerywings Thank you ladies! It's hard to be self conscious when something changes, actually for the good or bad! When I lost a lot of weight a couple years ago I was very self conscious about that as well. I have been putting scar cream on it and trying to massage...

I don't do many of them, I like using my scrapping to tell my family's stories, so unless I just don't have a photo to go with a story there's usually a photo involved. I love looking at them though!

When I'm not doing a page for one of my CT's I try to treat my stash like a CT - old and new stuff alike. I buy a lot but don't use much of it, so last year I decided to treat my stash like I do my CT's - I can always find something to scrap about with CT kits, so when I'm itcihng to play with...

Love your clusters, this is so soft and pretty.

Love this Claire! The paper strips are fantastic, love the little bits you've added everywhere. Standing O!

This one by @ClaireG I just love - the papers, the little bits, all of it!

FANTASTIC cluster, truly love it! The painty bits too are just perfect

Your page really brings out the cold feeling - great blending and use of space!

Another one that is great with the blocking - love the colours and design!

Love the blocks and with the one being slightly off-kilter. Love the C&S design

This is so stunning, love how you used the sketch!

I usually am inspired either by a kit or by a photo. If it's a kit I will play with the kit and put everything on it that I want, then find a photo to go with it later. More often I start with the photo and a story and then find a kit to go with it, and go from there. I love templates though too!

I'm not great at wordart, but I do like my clusters .... and I usually start with the photos and papers and place where I want, then I open up all the lovely elements and just drag and drop until they look good, then add or delete and add foilage, etc. I love clustering and throwing an entire...
