What's new

So frustrated!!

I'm with everybody else - your pages ROCK. I always just love them. But I agree that maybe being overwhelmed with the sheer number of scrapping projects makes me feel extremely uncreative as well. I never know where to start. The good news is that there are no rules - just scrap what makes you happy!

You're pages rock, Rebecca. Sometimes, I just feel like I need to get stuff done - instead of worrying about what looks super cool or trendy, especially this time of year when I want to finish pages for Christmas gift books. Some of those pages might not be my faves, but I know the fam will still love them.

YES, THIS EXACTLY! I SO want to get a gift album done for Christmas for our parents, but I would basically just have to plop photos on a page and move on. Blech.

This made me laugh! My husband once referred to scrapping as "that photo witchcraft you do" :giggle

photo witchcraft!! :giggle

my husband has some jacked up idea of my photoshop skills. he is always telling other people that i can just magically fix them and insert people and blah blah blah... and i sort of want to tell him to stop talking before he commits me to attempting the impossible. :giggle

I think we might need to start this--my husband just informed me that he thinks I need to not scrap for 3 days because he thinks I might be addicted--I think I will do that just to prove that I am not--but really am!!!

:( I truly understand.. as I am going through the same spiral at the moment.. I don't do templates... I don't scrap lift... so what do I do?

I just got in the same boat Li Li... Not feeling it that is why I did not do any of the November challenges this month... just didn't feel it.
 
We are our own worst enemy! I think we tend to judge ourselves way to harshly & compare ourselves to others. I agree that you should take a deep breath, walk away for awhile & look again. I suspect you'll like your pages more! Good luck!

So sweet that he has such confidence in your skills! Good man.

So, it's been a few weeks, how are you feeling - mojo back? I am now feeling exactly what you were expressing. I just finished a book for my in-laws of our family vacation this summer. I don't know if it was the pressure of getting it done for Christmas, or what, but I am SO not happy with it. Guess I will have to believe that the important thing is getting it done. Think I will be doing a lot of scrap lifting in the next couple weeks!!
 
you know, i guess my mojo has made an appearance here & there. i've done a handful of pages that i've rather liked in the end.... much more than i could say a few weeks ago!
