What's new

Biggest fear?

I fear not having the right product. Since my EHD died, I have very little to work with. I was thrown for a loop yesterday during the speed scrap. It called for a bright striped paper. I didn't have one. I ended up turning & enlarging a chevron paper until I had horizontal stripes. I was a bit panicked until I figured it out.
 
My biggest fear is when I have to start with a blank slate... that is absolutely TERRIFYING - staring at a white 12x12 square on the computer screen - no template, no clue what picture(s) to use, no "mojo flowing" to direct me to a specific kit - having to CREATE my own layout!? My own CLUSTERS??? What if they look ridiculous? This is why I love templates - everything is laid out for me already - all I have to do is make it my own.
So, there's my fear :) When I open the new day and see that it's a formula that no template I own will work with, my tummy clenches and my brain goes to mush - sometimes I even see a bright shining light........

Do you favorite LOs in the gallery? Or pin them, or in any other way collect them? When I'm totally blanking, I look through LOs I love for inspiration. Maybe you could lift one instead of use a template. You can doooo it! :cheer
 
I'm not really a journaling person on mu page, so that's my biggest fear....to lost for words....think pictures often says it all!
 
My biggest fear ... is when I decided to finished scrapping a page. I can't stop me and I think " if I change this element, this paper, and this photo ... "
 
Now that I'm back at work, my biggest fear is going to be getting all the challenges done on time. I'm a slow scrapper. So far, I've managed, but worried that it will be difficult to keep up

I hear you. I went back to work today and there's not much time left to scrap when you get home, have fed the masses and so on...

The funny thing to me, is when you try something a bit different...sometimes (not always) it winds up being a favorite. I love all styles...I admit that a clean minimal scares me and I do it, but.......................will fill it with journaling before printing!

Okay, so, um, I'm glad I'm not the only one who saves one version to post but changes it to save for printing. Whew. I felt a TEENY bit duplicitous, but at the same time it helps me take advantage of the work I've put in to LOs that just aren't "me."
 
the photo-less layout prompt is my biggest fear - it haunts me like Jaws when i go to the beach, i'm pretty sure we did one last year and i'm all about the photos so i'm quite lost without them
 
Most of the fears in this thread have been scrapped this far. Have you all survived?

Lorry... you were right. QPs are stupid and not at all fun to use!
 
I'm glad to get that over with! I like my page but it's so much more work to make it look that way than it should be! Yours was gorgeous too. Now we can relax! :giggle
 
No relaxation here... I have some new fears.

PL... I don't get them at all.
Masks... haven't used them for a hundred years and can't remember how to do it.

And... I remember when I did ADSR one year a long time ago, we had to use a specific mini kit and only that kit. That was a real struggle and a challenge I don't need to experience again. Once was enough.

There are lots of days left of MOC for all of the above...
 
My biggest fear... Getting behind! I've lived my fear. I'm currently 4 layouts behind. Going to try to get one of those done tonight - maybe two of them, but we'll see.
 
bhaaa ha to QPs, I never understood them, and then I had 24 hours to make pages for a book for a memorial. I fell in love with them that night!

I have been saying AL DAY that I dread that quick page thing...... I m still on the detailed template , and is taking me longer than I thought!!!! need to catch up !!!
 
I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder so when I read the question I expected to have a pretty long list. But after thinking about it for the last few minutes, I am surprised to discover that I don't really have any anxiety about these challenges. Some have been difficult for me (Puppet Warp and OOB) but none have turned me into a nervous wreck. I think it is because most of the LOs that I do are never seen outside of the galleries I post them in.
 
Mollyscraps... I had to look that up and I understand now why MOC could have been an issue. I'm glad that it isn't!
