Biggest fear?

My biggest fear has lessen since I started Art Journaling. "My pages are not good enough." Strolling through the galley has helped also.
 
I think those of us that use Paint Shop Pro are the minority ... I have thought about changing software, but am so comfortable ...

Jill, some of us use Craft Artist Professional by Serif- does all PSE does but easier to use-

Now, I wouldn't call it "fear"- I scrap for memory keeping, therapy emotionally and for FUN, so I would try always not to use the word fear...but I'm kinda worried about not being able to follow the MOC when Sarita has the operation...still, I think I will ... (that's why I wont start the CTs until February)
 
Oooh! I forgot! My greatest fear isn't AJ, it is Hybrid! That truly leaves me quaking. I stink at cutting, paper and glue.
 
mine is usually the photo-less page...it just feels so empty without a picture to me!!
 
I haven't ever heard of Craft Artist Professional, but am going to check it out right now!!

OK, I have to say that this thread actually made me giggle a bit :giggle

I can remember being scared to use curly ribbon or string on a page... I just couldn't get it right! Then I went through what I like to call me "dimensional" phase, when I conquered that fear and stuck EVERY element in a kit on a page.. it was amazing really, LOL.

I've been through the C&S phase, but that didn't last long.

I do love pocket scrapping now, but it's quite busy pocket scrapping if not dimensional. And my AJ has always been totally stinky... until I discovered different sizes. I still cannot scrap a 12x12 AJ page for some reason, but LOVE it in a rectangular shape... and love it even more if I can print it out right then and stick it in an altered book.

MOC is awesome to get us out of our comfort zones. Just be sure to have fun with it! You never know what you end up loving. And honestly, if you don't love your page, you can always put it in your handy dandy recycle bin once you UL it. I don't recommend that, however, b/c it's fun to see these pages in the future and realize they were pretty coolio after all :)
 
Great advice Jen! I agree MOC is exciting for all the reasons above. Getting out of my box is scary but fun and sometimes the results far exceed my expectations. It is ok to not love your page too! Recycle it or walk away from it for awhile.
 
My biggest is those one colour layouts.... Hands down ! I love colours too much!

me too :)

In fact, I am pretty sure in past years my double page layout challenge has totally stressed people out. I love how MOC makes me stretch beyond my comfort zone. I did some pages last year, that were hard for me because they were so different than my normal and now I really do love them.

And bonus for me today was that when I was working on today's challenge, I wanted my background paper to look a little different and I just layered and blended like Heather taught us in Day 2 and I LOVED how it turned out. I wouldn't have thought to do that before!!
 
My biggest fear is that I'll draw a blank on one of the challenges. I'm talking blinky eyed, staring at my computer without a clue. Yep, it's going to happen...I just know it.
 
My fear is waking up to find my mojo has disappeared with three days to go.
 
OMG, I can agree with each and every one of you and I'm starting to be afraid of all those things too... :scaredUntil now my biggest fear was always multi-photo layouts. To use 2 is ok, but having to use 3-4-5 photos and I could cry from frustration, I can never make the page look right...
 
Y'all, Are funny! I love to experiment so none of this scares me. I am more afraid to miss something, like a LO I would totally love or a technique I could really dig. I am on here way too much ( is there a too much), at the moment.
