Heather,

When I came up with the idea to create this site, I was still a traditional scrapbooker. I had some fantastic books and magazines (mostly by Creating Keepsakes), and I loved trying some new techniques I learned through those publications, but what they didn't have a lot of was Disney specific content (just a page or two here and there). I had a major creative block when I tried to do a page for Journey Into Imagination. It seemed like it should be colorful and fun, but I just had zero ideas where to start. I googled so many different search terms hoping to find an organized collection of Disney layouts somewhere, but I just couldn't find anything. So I created this site. It was never really created with the intention of discussing techniques (since I feel others do a better job of that)... Just sharing ideas in an organized way. Personally I switched to digital because my pace was better thru that route, but I'm not here to sell you on digital. Along the way we've added a number of activities that both paper and digi scrappers can do, though I acknowledge that many of them are more conducive to digital. And several tutorials have popped up related to digital (though not a lot compared to other sites). But the core strength of this site, I believe, is the organized layouts which I think anyone whether traditional or digi can easily draw inspiration from... Whether it is a color scheme or arrangement or photo ideas, etc. There are a number of paper layout in our gallery (even I have some), but they are a bit buried in the 25,000 photos we have.

That said, there is a forum geared toward traditional. You can find it here: http://mousescrappers.com/forums/for...lay.php?f=9713. If you look at the galleries of some of the others who have posted in that forum, you'll be able to find the paper layouts a little easier... Maybe they will give you more ideas than the digital.
