Have you ever........

funny thing about speed scraps vs. slow scraps.... If I am doing a slow scrap my page will be done in record time, less than an hour usually 20 mins..... now..... if it's a speed scrap there is no way I can finish it in an hour, NO WAY!!!!

 

Oh, 100%. I get that.

I recently heard a saying--maybe you've heard of it--that said "Perfectionists don't stop when something is perfect. Perfectionists can't ever reach perfection." I was like "YESSSSS."

 

When I could scrap with my sister it would drive her insane that I start taping everything down (paper scrapping) with my regular tape. She places stuff and then moves it and then moves it and then she tapes it with removable table and then keeps changing stuff while she adds stuff and AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT then she uses her permanent tape. I think I am almost the same way with digi. I do have a few pages that they just don't seem right and I will struggle and sometimes start but mostly start hiding layers to see if it "will survive" the trash box. LOL!!!!

 

I understand, I just loose interest fast, so I have to finish before it's not interesting anymore. LOL!!! SQUIRREL!!!!!

 

OMG, I need to start using that! Love it... plot twist!

 

LOL! totally me too Dalis! Often when I have been working on a layout for a while and it's just not grabbing me I do what you do Dalis and turn off all the layers and then just start turning layers back on........ the ones that don't work get chucked! But Cheryl, like everyone has said, we all do have those layouts that we are not especially happy with and like a lot of other people I don't print those ones out, but I don't have the heart to delete them either! LOL!

 

Yes. This usually happens at least once or twice during MOC.

I have zero problems or guilt with deleting a layout I don't love so I do that and move on.

 

It's pretty rare that I call a page finishes until I like it, but during a speed scrap or MOC it has happened. I either don't include it in my photobook when I print or I will go back and change it to my liking if I called it finished to meet a challenge requirement.

 

this happens to me very very often, I am not too confident , I mean, I think of me a a bit of miss & hit...every 10 pages of mine,7 are miss and 3 maybe hits.... sometimes I don't like it before I post so I struggle for year trying to fix it, but now time is of essence.... sometimes I just leave them as it is.... funny is, the ones I liked the less are the ones the world likes more

 

Sometimes I make a layout for a challenge I don't like. Sometimes changing something that was there specifically for the challenge but the layout would work netter with something else fixes it. I rarely have the tie to redo, and just leave the layout if it's not an easy fix.
