It’s the ancient fight between traditional and digital scrappers (or at least as old as the art of digiscrapping). I remember last year coming across a thread in the forum over at Scrapbook.com where some traditional scrappers were doing a pretty hateful campaign against the digital scrapbooking community. More than anything, I was stunned by the offensiveness of their comments as they were raging on about how digital scrapbooking is just a knock-off of the real thing, a poor imitation, and I kept thinking to myself: Traditional and digital scrapbooking are two completely different pairs of shoes, so why can’t we just exist peacefully next to each other, share the galleries, and respect and appreciate the different skills each branch of art requires? Well, today I’m going to make my contribution for tolerance, and provide you with some inspiration that comes from the side of traditional scrapbooking.

Recently, I came across a website called “Pencil Lines” which provides sketches for scrapbooking, and some pretty awesome inspiration that comes with that. Ever since then I’ve scoured their posts, finding some great layouts and ideas for my own scrapping:

For example, I took the page above and turned it into this layout below:
