First, I have a layout that I'm SO excited to share. Unfortunately, the light is terrible today.
Instead, here are some of my deepest, darkest scrapbooking secrets:
1. I still use sticky photo corners. I know, I know. They leave bits of wrapping everywhere and don't even work that well. But old habits are hard to break and the runners seem to run out so quickly!

2. The first scrapbook I ever made was in a magnetic album. Oh, the horrors! And I haven't moved it yet.
3. I have these vellum alphas I bought YEARS ago in my stash. I don't use them and I don't even like them, but for some reason I can't purge them!
4. I admire the people who "stop by" for a few scrapbooking items "every 6 months or so." I am not one of them.
5. I've only made a few pages in my wedding album. And I've been married a year and a half.

6. I used to be REALLY anti-kits. Now I spend just about all my money on them. So much for strong opinions.

7. Whenever I make a page, my husband says he likes it. But, being the difficult wife that I am, I ask, "Well
why do you like it?" So the poor man has to come up with stuff like, "I really like how you used that border punch thingy. It adds a lot." He's very long-suffering. But hey, at least I make dinner, right?

8. Speaking of border punches, the first time I bought one it took me HOURS (plus a very nice piece of paper!) to figure out. That sliding technique has taken hard work and practice!

9. My bathroom sink is decorated with a rainbow of misty residue.

10. I bought this Cosmo paper FIVE years ago and didn't use it because I thought it was too pretty. I still have it, still like it, and STILL haven't used it. Oy.

11. I didn't know what "Cosmo" WAS five years ago. Or two years ago, for that matter. I'm a long time scrapper, but apparently I had my head in the sand for a while there. A long while.
So, there you have it. Now don't tell anyone!
