Ok I need to start scrapping

[Spinning]

I started the year out with a bang! Then came Feb...did just a few pages, March ZIP! I am now very behind! I also know the end of the year is coming and I have 2 teacher books to complete!
HELP! I need motivation once again!
I do sign up for the monthly challenge but...it doesn't seem to be helping...
I have set aside today to scrap and do laundry inbetween......Maybe tomorrow too since it is suppose to rain all day!

That is exactly me! In January and February I did two year's worth and now I can't seem to get motivated to even start my Christmas in Disney album. I even bought the cute Disney paper clips and other Disney stuff! Maybe we all need a kick in the pants!

I'm with ya! I started making some progress a few weeks ago, but I do not have the motivation to get started again.

I start and then stop. Haven't finished a full layout since my retreat. Maybe this weekend I can get some done.

I'm with you. I did two pages in March, nothing in February. I've done lots of swaps and cards, but my pictures are just piling up. This weekend for sure. How about a weekend page challenge? It wouldn't have to be for # of pages, just get something done?

Spinning... in your defense.... sometimes you just need a creative break from scrapping. When you do pick it up again, you will probably be more inspired than ever! I find if I push for MONTHS trying to get a certain project done, there are times when I SWEAR I will never have another creative moment again! I had something like that happen in December or January. I had finished several pages and when I went back to look at them, I HATED them. I swore I would never be able to scrap again. But I put the whole mess down, walked away for a few weeks, and then when the desire hit me strong again, I picked it up and was able to jump back in with renewed enthusiasm! Don't think of this time away from scrapping as "lost" or a "failure" ... just think of it as time to RENEW YOUR CREATIVE JUICES!! ...............P

pjlla Good point and I know that is so true....I think for me right now so many other things are also getting in the way of scrapping...
Yesterday things once again went all nuts and I didn't have the time I planned to scrap! But did finish 2 pages! and have another layout simi done.
Hopefully today with this rain I will sit and scrap!

I know exactly where you guys are coming from. I have a TON of albums I want to do but no time to get it done and then when I get focused on something, I hit a wall and run out of ideas. I have to say going to the Creative Keepsakes Convention a few weeks ago in NAshville helped me alot but I'm still very far behind. A couple of months ago I was so bored w/working on my Disney album I had to quit and do something else. Worked on a few Christmas pages and now back to the vacation album better than ever. Try a different topic and see if that helps.
Another thing that helps me is getting new paper or stickers. I just love doing new layouts w/new stuff.
HAVE FUN!!

I always have such good intentions...but, never get anything accomplished. I get into grooves where I can get about 10 pages done. Then I don't get back to it for such a long time. What I don't have problems with is buying supplies.
