I think I would be totally bored if I ever stuck to one pattern and way of doing things. So I try things and mix it up. Sometimes artistic impressions are also just because of how you are feeling on any specific day. I do think my moods dictate my passion and creativity.
Lately, there has been lots of work with trees, owls and birds. Its been sitting in the back of my head to try it.
I think of all my styles I do enjoy "Fun and whimsical" the best. It comes easily together for me without too much thinking. On a week night where I has a need to kill some of my PVR recording as its almost back to 100%, I started to cut out little hearts to stay awake. So if you wondered how this page started, it all started with little red hearts and then little things just got added. I must say its turned out happy, fun, bright and I think so me....and will be one of my favourites for awhile.
Answer to busy lives and book clubs
One of my best friends, Gillian, she scraps. But life is so busy and we seldomly get to meet up. So to try and solve that, we said instead of creating a book club we will have scrapclub and meet up once a month. So in theory we get to meet, see, snack, drink, chat and scrap. Wonderful combination dont you think.
I can remember back to the first crop sessions, trapesing across the country with my friend Bee, with a boot full of stuff. We could really add colour to that phrase: Everything but the kitchen sink. How on earth did we do that. And yes, man we had a lot of stuff. And it was like important to have it close by otherwise you could not scrap. It did take about an hour to pack it and an hour to pack it up again. I think we kind of realised what we were doing when one fine day we had a puncture on the way to a crop and it landed up in not such a great part of the woods. We had to unpack the entire chocoblock boot. All we could do was giggle and think of all the wives driving past with their husbands and saying: you think I had stuff, just look at those two and thats just what they have hidden in their boot.
So I have grown up. I go to crops now with literally NOTHING. I take my scrap file and a some cardstock and my carry all-tool thingy a mi-jiggy. No fuss at all. No photos. Just something to keep hands busy and putting something together. Complete with photo at home. Anyways this my book-club page. One finished easy simple page.

Love your book club page.... your post made me smile... the boot full of stuff on the side of the road ! Yip I remember that like it was yesterday. I still haven't grown Up, I still card everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink to our crops here in the UK... Maybe I try your way, scap paper and card stock ... Oh and as for the lovely , lovely , lovely page with that devine tree , well that is just you... Love it... As I would say, it is beautiful...
I remember going to a class and arriving with NOTHING, not even a pair of scissors. I was so embarrassed! Since that day I always take everything with me, I will never forget the looks I got from all the other scrappers and the teacher(Who will remain un named, because she is quite famous!)... Oh my, the teacher's look, It almost put me off scrapping and on Prozac!
Now I try to avois classes like the plgue and just scrap with my buddies, lot less stress and a lot more fun!
