1) I love learning how to do things in Photoshop 7
2) I love it when members make suggestions about my pages and working on those suggestions
3) I love receiving daily freebies and copying designs that come with the e-mail

1) I hate the fact that it does not take many months work of hours to complete 1 page
2) I hate it when I am thrilled with a finished page and don't want to change it
3) I hate it when I see pages with lots of happy families and celbrations and just don't have the chance to join in and do some!

The best thing about thinking about this list is that the love list seems to be endless the hate list is just 3 things

I love learning new techniques, and pushing my tools to do more.
I love the variety of "toys," supplies, papers, embellies, etc here!
I love the ability to share my pages with my family & friends here at SG, as well as the "real" family.
I love the colors.
I love sorting and organizing my pretties.
I love the sense of having both happy accidents, and lots of control over the layouts.
Hmm. Can't count very well.
;)
I hate that my budget doesn't match my desires.
I hate that I don't have as much time as I'd like to scrap.
I hate that I didn't learn this sooner, and that the tools didn't exist 25 years ago, as I have SO many things I want to scrap!
OK, let's have some cheese & crackers with that whine!
;)

I love that I can start a layout and if my ideas don't come to me right away I can put in on hold until my creative juices start to flow again.
I love that that SG has sooooo many collections from which to choose and that mixing them up is sometimes the way to go.
I love that I can take what is seemingly not the greatest of photos and make it look really great with embellies and the collections.
I love that I can scrap without spending so much money on all the things I used for paper scrapping.
I love that I can save my pages on my computer and can print out as many as I want to instead of making several for scrapbooks that require the same page for the different grands.
I love everything about digh-scrapping.

Can't think of a single thing that I hate really.

Oh, I guess I do hate that I don't always have to time to scrap as much as I would like to.

1. I love the fact that we can meet other's who share our passion.
2. I love storing all my supplies in a little hard drive.
3. I love that dh doesn't have any idea how much stuff I really have!

1. I wish I had more time to scrap.
2. I wish I was feeling creative when I do have the time to scrap (never seems to work that way).


I can't think of anything else. There isn't anything I hate...but things I wish for. I am grateful that I am busy doing things and making memories.

1. I love the feeling of creativity and accomplishment I have when I have completed a layout.
2. I love meeting people as passionate about something as I am.
3. I LOVE the undo and delete buttons!

1. I hate the fact that sometimes I critique my layouts too much, only to find I loved them the first time.
2. I hate that I don't scrap as much as I would like to.
3. I hate the idea that because I don't have children of my own, sometimes I find myself wondering who the *** I'm making all these layouts for.

  • I love the fun of making the machine/software do what I have pictured in my mind!
  • I love how easy it is to change colors and play around without too much fear (thank you UNDO!).
  • I love that I can just close the lid of my laptop and it's all cleaned up!


  • I wish I had more digital space to store everything I want to own!
  • I wish I had enough $$ to own all the hardware/software/products to play more.
  • I wish (much like Carla) that my inspiration/creative mojo always coincided with my time available to scrap!


Thanks for a fun thread.

I love that I have a creative outlet.
I love the communities I've found doing it.
I love getting fun an uplifting comments from friends about my LOs.

I hate that I can't seem to get inspiration or motivation without a challenge.
I hate how much money I've already put into it.(But I guess its cheaper than my fabric stash)

yeah that's it.

I love the idea that I can showcase my pictures in lots of different ways
I love working with the software and hardware and learning new things
I enjoy having the ability to draw more atmosphere and story from my pictures


I hate not having enough time to scrap
I hate the fact that my creativity periods do not match my scrapping periods
I hate not being able to do more within the scrap girls (and guys) community

For now!

1) I love that this is so much easier and less expensive than paper scrapping, not to mention more forgiving!
2) I love that I can do it just for my own personal artistic release as well as doing pages that document my family and memories
3) I love the absolutely amazing digital scrapbooking community I found - I still can't believe that this is ME, posting on a message board and actually checking in daily (I am not always that good with my email lol)

Oh, dear - I could go on a long while on that list!

1) I hate that my hard drive space is not infinite.
2) I hate that my finances do not allow me simply to get everything in the boutique.
3) I hate that I cannot spend all the time I would like to on scrapping.
A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was,the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child....

I Love the shock of doing something new and having it turn out...that YES!!!! moment
I Love the ease of journaling and resizing photos
I Love the ease of shopping online at midnight in my cozy robe and being able to use the things I buy endlessly.

I Hate .....................I really can not think of anything I "Hate" MAYBE I hate not knowing how to do all the techniques
I Hate not having the funds to buy everything I want...altho I have to say I buy most everything I want. and it is still cheaper than paper supplies
I Hate having to get up in the morning after I have scrapped till 2AM

1. I hate my creative times don't match my scrap times

3. I hate that I don't have the $$ to buy all the kits I want!

1. I love that my cat can't get into my scrapping stash, like he did with my paper scrapping.
2. I love to receive comments on my layouts.
3. I love that I can recolor anything and can use the 'undo' button.

1. I hate that I always have problems trying to work with templates.
2. I hate that I don't own everything in the boutique. Nearly everything, but not quite everything.
3. I hate it when I don't have the time or inclination to scrap.

Hmm

I love that I can combine my need to be artistic with writing in the same creative outlet
I love challenging myself to take new photos and come up with new ideas to scrap (since I don't have kids to scrap about)
I love being able to share LO's with my friends

I hate not having enough ideas
I hate that I can't just learn everything there is to know in one step (lol, impatient)
And....I don't have a third.

1. Love that I have a creative outlet and that it's a hobby that I can share with my mom
2. Love when I get the hang of something new
3. Love to give and receive love and all the new friends I have made


1. Hate that I can't buy much from the botique
2. Hate that I don't have more time to scrap
3. Hate the process of learning new techniques (but see #2 above)

1. I love Digital Scrapbooking because it's so much faster to complete a page than Hybrid Scrapbooking :)
2. I love using all the different elements, kits & ideas.
3. I love being a CT & being able to use brand new kits with new ideas even before they come available to others :)

1. I hate not having enough money to buy the kits that I want ~ so I put them on my wish list (if there is one)
2. I hate not having enough time in a day to complete what I have to accomplish by a certain time.
3. I hate hard drive crashes ~ so now I have 2 external drives.
