This goes out to all scrappers…traditional & digital. Ever get a layout mostly done and find yourself not 100% happy with the results? You’re certainly not alone. If you’ve read “My Story” you already know I can tend to be a bit of a perfectionist. Truth be told, I can spend hours agonizing over just the “right” color or font or even the style I apply to a title. It really can border on being ridiculous. Break The Cycle There…
