what do you hate about scrapping?

[Pammy jo]

In no particular order:

1. Putting refills in albums!!! It doesn't matter what type, they are all a pain the the *&*.

2. Feeling overwhelmed - like ya gotta get caught up and so you don't really enjoy your work.

3. When you have almost completed a page and you are missing one element, like you only have 3 red brads and you need 4. UGH!

I finally felt it was close enough to the time to have a ticker....any longer than this and it would just be depressing to me to be reminded almost daily that he wouldn't be home for months and months. So.....is it January yet?

For me I hate the mess and not being able to find what I need in the mess!

 

[TPCShauna]

I'm still fairly new so I hate that I have no way to organize my stuff yet. I'm working on it but I also have no space!

 

[Twigs]

Putting something down, then putting papers on top of that, and not finding the first thing for days!

Alice 28 you must be getting soo excited. How is the baby?

 

[scrapperjill]

Loosing things in the mess...then the clean up of the mess when I'm done. I also hate dragging things out...but that's mainly because what comes out must go back...so that goes along with the "cleaning up of the mess"

 

[msbegin]

That I don't have enough time to do it!

 

[Disneyland_emily]

Journaling

I hate it

 

[rsjj]

having to take "everything" out!! then, i feel like i need to do a marathon scrapping...since i've got everything out. and then, i get "overwhelmed".

 

[goofymom/pop]

filing away all the stuff I get out....scraps of paper etc.

not enough time or money to do it.

putting page protectors on my CM albums

when I do a page I couldn't wait to do and then I hate it when its done

I'm so with you on this!! So many times I have a great event/parade whatever to scrap and I'm so SURE that the pages will be phenomenal... and then they suck!! (Oops, can I say that?) I mean STINK. That is the most frustrating part of scrapping.... things not coming out the way I want them to. Second worst part is having severe scrappers block. I find this happens most when I have been doing LOTS of scrapping. I need to take a few days or even weeks off when this happens. Otherwise I just end up with a bunch of pages I hate...................P

 

[onedisneylover]

i have not been liking scrapping lately...

i have too much stuff and can't ever seem to get organized. with that in mind, i can't find anything. then when i have the time to scrap, i am out buying more stuff to scrap with...

then when i actually sit down to scrap...even if it is a scraplift, it takes me forever to do...i will sit there for days pushing stuff around the page before adhering it. i am a pathetically slow scrapper!!! on a weekend crop, i am lucky if i get 2 pages done!!!

1. The mess. I use mounting squares as adhesive so I especially hate the little blue squares all over the place when I'm done!

2. Even though I have a fairly large section of a room devoted to scrapbooking, there's still never enough room and it explodes all over the rest of the room.

3. My own crazy mentality about not wanting to waste anything. For example - when I want to reprint pictures, I don't want to print one 4 x 6 picture on an 8.5 x 11 page because then I'd be wasting the rest of the page. So then I agonize about which other pictures to print with it. The same thing can apply to cardstock or patterened pape. I go crazy sometimes!

4. Never having enough time!

 

[WDWMom]

Not enough money and not enough time.

The mess is a pain too.

Not having the perfect color of card stock and then having to wait to finish the page.

 

[Queenie]

The mess and making a page for a really special event/day/parade and having it look awful. I have actually cried over these in the past, silly hormones!!!!

 

[Grumpy's Gal]

being right in the middle of a great project and then hearing, "MAMA? Can you.........(fill in any number of things here.)"

Anyone with me on this? And of course, I stop scrapping and I'm pretty much not going to get back to it at that time............as I find a new, more enjoyable project waiting for me like gum in the hair..........

 

[becky7953]

Getting out all my stuff, just to start! This curbs alot of my scrapping. I just don't want to lug it out
