Dear All! We are going to try and teach each other new tricks and dust up the old ones to help each other improve the photo skills, and acquire the new ones! I am hoping you will be active in sharing with the others the things you already know and find useful! We will try out some of the advice by the professional photographers, and some of the challenges will give you a theme to work on rather than a tip! I will also attempt to dig out everything I can about things that we can use in creating papers and elements for our scrapping needs, and again I would like to underline how important it is for us to share our resourses to evolve as photographers. I am not aiming to turn the amateur photographers into professionals, for one I am an amateur myself, but to make sure we all have a better chance to have an occasional WOW shot! Please feel free at any time to share your thoughts, criticism, suggestions, tips here... I am really relying on you! Look down to number 6!

This week starting 20-th of September and finishing when we run out of the ideas I'd like to see some of the texture photos that you have taken over the years, and that can be used to create Paper for Scrappers, if you feel like sharing the paper you have created with it, please feel free! I want to feel the textures, be it fur, or brambles, plastic or brick wall! We want them all!

Here is mine.

Oooh great idea - I love photos of textures. Can't wait to get home (shhh, I'm supposed to be working) and download some.

This is a fun challenge - I may have to go take some more pics. I've just started playing with pictures as brushes to make my own papers and I can't wait to see everyone's ideas to inspire me.
Here is my texture, and the paper from it.

Let's try another one! Have you got a photo that you love to bits but can't scrap for whatever reason. Share with us here (a link to it) and see if we can come up with suggestions, or quote, or a sketch, or even a kit, What shall we call it?! It all starts with a photo! I am very exicted to see if you are interested. Please, share your view whether you have a photo or not! Thanks.
