I am so addicted

Oct 05, 2005 10 Replies

Within the last week I have come to relize (admit) that I am addicted to paper, pattern paper. I see everything in the form of paper. Watching the Yankee game I made the comment how the pattern on the field would make great paper. I see peoples shirts/clothing in the form of being a pattern paper. The worst is I bought a package of underwear and the one pattern would make a great pattern for paper. Maybe I'm on to much medication (only an antibotic) or I have really lost my mind and need to get back to work. Anyone else have this problem? I'm sure I'm not the only one....so I hope.

Ummmm... is the antibiotic a very strong one? Maybe I'm the one that isn't creative enought, yup that must be it. I look at the world as a painter and wish i had the talent to render it on canvas.

I have to admit I've done the same thing. I even look at ads, billboards or commercials and think that they would make a great layout or page element! There is an ad for a local grocery store that would make a great page title. I just have to figure out how to duplicate it on a page. I guess you can see scrapbooking in anything.

LOL Chrissy! I love to hear that! I see everything as a LO. I was studying a scene recently while with my DD and she said "oh no! You are NOT seeing this as a scrapbook layout!!" I just looked at her and nodded my head while grinning diabolicly. As in the words of Ted and Bill, Party on ,dudes! LOL Sab

I look at things all the time and think of how I could use it for my scrapping, or cards or whatever. Sometimes I overwhelm myself with ideas and wish I had the time to write it all down so I can remember it later! Glad to know I am not alone here too...lol Linda C

I must admit that I do this not just for scrapbooking but mainly for quilts. Coming back from Memphis in August my Mom and I said at the same time, "Oh we need a picture of the Interstate, it would make a great mini wall quilt!" The road had been patched a number of times and the cement was of course a bunch of different colors, very "abstract". We are just talented and creative people, we're not crazy!

NO, I don't HAVE a problem!!!

(needing some meds to FIX this affliction or better yet a buying spree!!)

The dr. changed my medicine today so lets see what happens next. LOL! Glad that you all were able to relate to this. It helps to know I haven't lost my mind completly.....yet.

Yes, One day at work I looked at a woman and told her how I had scrapbook paper that looked just like her scrubtop (I work in healthcare). Luckily she is into making cards and she said "me too". I think we both realized we were a little crazy..lol...

Oh yeah - I do that too. Or see something and think of a layout for the scene (even, gasp, if I don't have a camera!!). yeah - i think its part of the floozy/flass etc affliction. And you know what - I am OK with that! :)
