Scrap Blogs

I started to surf scrapblogs rather frequently after I took up scrapbooking 1 year ago. These scrapblogs are not only a sense of inspiration for me, they also give me very interesting tips and techniques relating to the scrapping world.









I must say I scrap in isolation. No crop parties, crop buddies, no time to attend classes (I would love to if I have more time). I pick up scrapbooking techniques through youtube and all the scrap blogs that I surfed.









One thing that I notice is all the different scrappers that I chanced upon, knew exactly where their supplies came from, such as the brand name, which collection etc. I am amazed. I never really notice which paper did I use, which brand they come from. I only knew the paper match layout.









I am just wondering: is it important to know which brand, which collection the paper or products are from? Would I take note of all the supplies that I use? I realise that on most of the layouts, I handmade a number of the embellishments (to save costs), probably that is the reason why I never take notice of all the supplies I use.









Just some random thoughts about scrapbooking.
