I am.

I can doodle on a pad of paper while on the phone but do I want these scratching on my scrapbook page?  I think not!

BUT, I like how stylized doodles look on scrapbook pages.  You know the ones I am talking about?  The flourishes and swirls that are so popular in scrapbooking right now.  I love them but I am too afraid of ruining a page.  And the more nervous I am about ruining a page the more like I am to ruin it!  These type of doodles feel more like mini drawings to me and not really like doodles from the subconcious.

So what's a girl to do?

Well, this is what I do.  I use these.  They come in a variety of different patterns and are made from a sturdy plastic-like material which means you can use them over and over and over.

I love that they come in a 12"x12" size and offer lots of variety within one page.  You can rotate them and flip them so the variety of "doodles" goes on and on.

I find that they add just the right touch to a page.  See the page below.  Really simple in design but with the doodled circles the page looks complete.

Or another example.  This page below uses two different templates.

A flourish type doodle in white pen and the wavy lines for my journaling. (I did actually doodle the scalloped frame around the photo - that I can handle!)

I love them as embellishment for my pages - not something to take over the whole thing.

And you can use them for other purposes too.  You could trace and cut out the designs or even use them as a paint stencil.

That's it,  my PSA for the day.  Let me know if you try it.  I would love to see. :)
