Hello there!

X-Ray Scrapbooking.

It’s been a factor since . . . okay, it’s solely been a factor for 3.5 minutes. I simply made it up. However, it’s nonetheless a factor that you just and I ought to often do. Possibly you already do it and simply don’t notice it!

The Artwork of X-Ray Scrapbooking is the method of wanting by means of (or previous) the entire scrapbook web page to scrutinize the components of the web page and be taught from them. The components can be issues such because the journaling, the circulate of the web page, the title, the clustering, the anchors, the colour combos, and so forth.

The Drawback

I don’t need my scrapbooking to turn into stale. I don’t need each web page to look the identical. I’m positive you don’t both. That’s why you and I search out inspiration and concepts. However even that may turn into overwhelming!

The Answer – X-Ray Scrapbooking

It helps me to simply go on the lookout for particular concepts. That entails one other scrapbook web page, dismantling it into components to see what it’s REALLY fabricated from, after which zooming in on the half you wish to find out about. It’s like an x-ray.

For instance:

I’m caught on the identical 3 ways to rearrange photograph clusters. My concepts are now not inspiring me to create. It feels boring, downright boring.
I head to certainly one of my favourite galleries and cease and take a look at the primary web page I come to. Doesn’t matter if I’m interested in the web page or not.
In my head, I dismantle the web page into components, zooming in to simply how the pictures are organized in a cluster – as a result of that’s what I’m x-raying.
If the photograph cluster conjures up me, I take it and run with it! If it doesn’t encourage me, I transfer on to the following web page.

So, is that this scraplifting??

I’m glad you requested! No, I don’t suppose it’s. All artwork is impressed by one thing whether or not you admit to it or not. And I’ll inform you, 9 occasions out of 10, after practising X-Ray Scrapbooking, my consequence doesn’t look something like what initially impressed me. It was simply the method that boosted me into the following galaxy.

X-Ray Scrapbooking vs Scraplifting or Inspiration Searching

For me, once I scraplift a web page or simply go on the lookout for inspiration, I completely bypass pages I don’t like. I’ll admit it, I’m tremendous choosy! I’m a little bit of a scrapbook snob. And if a web page (as an entire) doesn’t impress me, I’ll stroll proper by it when searching. Possibly the colours flip me off. Or perhaps it seems to be like the complete package was vomited onto the web page. When that occurs, it takes me a very long time to search out success.

However with X-Ray Scrapbooking, I’m wanting previous something that may annoy me. I’m discovering success sooner and in better portions. Each web page I see has one thing I can be taught from it. I simply must x-ray it.

Hmmm…kinda seems like I’m attempting to promote X-Ray Scrapbooking to you! HA. However, no. It’s simply one thing that helps me, so I believed it would aid you.

Take a minute out of your week and provides X-Ray Scrapbooking a strive. Let me know if it helps you alter your perspective on gaining inspiration. I hope to see you within the gallery!

Love and artistic success,

Jen White, Proprietor of Digital Scrapper
