What's new

Since MOC is all about challenges ...

Printing (I don't scrap chronologically and need to get pages printed not books ... just haven't figured out best place for printing in the UK).
Taking photos (lost my camera September 2013 and haven't replaced it - my phone camera is useless so I don't even try).

Wow, unlike so many fellow scrappers, I LOVE to journal, and my passion is photography. I have plenty of supplies for both paper and digi. So what's the problem? My own hang-up. I feel I need to complete each page in order, and complete each album before starting the next. Such an illness! Call it OCD, perfectionism, whatnot. It's a REAL problem!! Any suggestions? Going to jump in and try MOC - maybe that will help.
 
My biggest challenge was getting used to my new computer (a MacBook) and learning the new PS. I'm doing ok in it now, so I really want to do more with my shadows. I need to take the time to watch videos and tutorials and try to take it to the next level!!
 
finding time/balancing scrapping with other hobbies. Which is why MOC is so awesome - the challenges make me find time.
 
Catching up, printing, spending more time organizing than scrapping, ugh...I need scrapbook rehab to get me back on track!
 
Definitely printing... and completing a year to print! I tend to jump around with various years depending on what I am in the mood to scrap right then, which can make it a challenge to put together an album to print.
 
deleting anything from the stash even though it is getting ridiculous! I also tend to want to go back and re-do pages because I learn a new technique or buy a new product, but since I print books and not single LO's I feel I can only create a re-do if I haven't printed yet.

My biggest scrap challenge is journaling, and locating my digital stash.

There are some great threads and blog posts about digi organizing. Let me see if I can pull some up
 
I think lately it's been mojo. Tough end to 2014, and when that strikes, I can't scrap well, or I don't like my pages at all. After that, just the funds to get ALL THE PAGES PRINTED! lol!!! Kids and their activities and needs suck up my money. :)
 
LOL Angie!!!!!!

mine would be going for minimalistic-
I can make them ...but they never look like yours (Julie) Ana Paula, Ashley, Soco, Farah and so on ....mine just look empty and like I didnt make the effort :( from time to time I "get it" but not too often!!!
 
journaling and minimalistic....I know what I want to say in my head but when I actually go to write it I end up with an essay....:giggle. I just can't get it down to a few sentences...so then I just go find a quote that fits.

As for minimalistic....I just want to keep adding elements. I figure I want to use as much of a kit as I possibly can. I love what other scrappers do but I really struggle and never think my layouts are complete without lots of clustering.
 
I would say taking photos and printing. Time and a digi stash that isn't quite as organized as I'd like, and moving to Mac from PC and still getting things "transitioned".

It took me a LONG time to get comfortable with a minimal style, and even now I tend to describe my style as "embellished" minimalistic - clean and simple, but with clusters of elements.
 
Finishing pages. I probably have 50 pages in my In Progress folder. I stop when I don't like them and it takes a while to go back. On a happy note, I have several finished books (vacations). I may never actually complete a year book.
 
Definitely printing out my pages...Anne totally had me convinced...but then I was a little tight on the moolah, and never got around to doing it :whistle but don't tell Anne!!

I was going to say clustering, but when I read printing - that must really be it. I have yet to get one page printed in three years. I'm sworn to get the pages from 2014 to Blurb before the end of the month. But clustering is a challenge for me too.

Here is a clustering tutorial I did on the blog forever ago...

Molly, and all of you others... Print your Layouts, hehe. Don't worry about perfection. Just get started and you will never.ever.stop.

I upload my layouts to PP every quarter (doing it now for Oct/Nov/Dec in fact) and I buy print credits at each of their semi-annual sales. I print every 3 months as well using those credits.

I have found a system where I UL to PP into monthly folders (mimicking my HD folders), then I edit the folder with a "P" once they are printed. I have SO.MANY.ALBUMS. filled with pages in my home. Sometimes I cringe at pages b/c they are old or out of style or imperfect, but I love them all!
 
I'm in the same boat as many others.....getting the layouts printed for albums or into books. I have printed off about 150 pages from last year but have so many more. I need to get huge batches printed when persnickety has their sales, to keep it affordable.
