If you would like CC (creative critique) please upload your layout to the gallery and start a thread in this forum with a link to the layout. You can state in your post if you would like strong, medium or gentle CC.

While you may receive CC from the Scrap Girls team, this forum is for Members looking for CC from Members.

Please remember that while CC is being asked for we need to be mindful of how we respond. We don't want anyone's feelings to get bruised and we want to encourage people to continue to learn, grow and share their layouts with us. Digital scrapbooking is fun and about preserving memories.

The best advice we can offer is, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." As Ro's grandma used to say, "Be kind. Be kind."

I am so happy to hear about this! I am learning quickly and want to soak up every last bit of information I can get. So this is fabulous for me. I will be taking advantage of this! Thank you for helping me grow as a better digiscrapper in this way!

This is great- Thanks Scrapgirls!

This is great! I love getting 'love', but at the same time, I want to learn! I go back and look at my early pages from last summer and think--"why didn't someone tell me they looked like this??" Actually, I think I did get a comment from Laurel about my drop shadows and now I can see what she was talking about. Looks like I used plastitac to put all my papers on, the shadows are SO high!! Now if I ever find time to scrap again I'll know I have a place to post for help.

LOL - I totally understand what you are talking about. I was looking for something the other day and ended up in my folder of layouts from 2006. I literally gasped out loud - they are truly horrid!

But, I took every class I could, worked through every tutorial, used Secrets & More Secrets, took part in a series of critique sessions that summer. And, I've practiced, practiced, practiced. I'm happy to say that I have gotten much better, and I've found my scrapbooking "voice".

I don't think so but if you are already subscribed and try again you get an error message.

What a great idea! I have a secret ambition to become a Layout Designer, and would like to really refine my design skills. Now that my secret's out, you all will be seeing me here often!

[goofyemt96]

Great Idea!! Love this new forum!! This is really going to help some folks get published!!!!

[IsaGems]

This could be so helpful - providing we have the courage to use it. And I'm not too sure where I stand at the moment. lol I want the constructive criticism because I do want to get better ... OK I've just done it! I've posted a layout for CC. (And if it's a sub-domain of 'Share the love' then we may remember to be gentle with folks.)

Now that was quick. Didn't Tracey just mention this like yesterday. You girls are fast, and thank you. I know for one I will be posting there.
