One of the things I love about scrapbooking is cutting out shapes by hand with scissors. When I saw the work of Helen Musselwhite , I was briefly ashamed at my lack of talent, then inspired to create beautiful things. Look at what this UK resident does with paper/scissors/glue
And my personal favorite
At her website you can browse through eight galleries of her work. She also has a gallery of her work that is mounted and on the wall. If you want to find out how big her works are, you'll have to convert from metric to US measurments, which you can do here. And you don't need colored paper. Look at what she does with plain white paper
Looking at her work is making me take a second look at how I cut paper. Maybe with many, many years of practice I can be half as good as Helen is. I better get started cutting!
