 First - Layering & making them not just look like I put pieces of paper over top of each other
Second - Titles
Third - Journaling & committing to a photo - there are so many awesome layouts that I see, I'll create the layout & wait for the perfect picture, then won't commit to putting it on the page - because a better one could come around.

So it looks like I have a lot of trouble spots. :-D

 For paper scrapping it is definitelyh adhesives.  Whichever kind I pick, it doesn't stick and I have to get another.  and another.  and sometimes still another.

digi scrapping it is knowing when to quit.

Placement. I like sketches but than I think that it's not "original" so I always try to make myself come up with my own idea. Than, going through my mountain of patterned paper looking for "just the right one".

 All of the above!    Plus .... selecting the papers that will co-ordinate with one another.     Sometimes that is a great challenge for me.

 I would say journalling.  I always feel guilty when I put something that isn't "fun and cutesy"  Sometimes there are real feelings that aren't so fluffy at the time and I don't want to put something that will somehow in some way come back and bite me later.

 ME TOO!  I love journaling and putting layouts together, but for some reason, I just can't get myself motivated sometimes to sit down and get stuff DONE!

 Laziness!  More often that not I'm just too lazy to think harder about what might make a layout look better, or I've gotten tired of working on one so I pretty much stick it all down and just quit.  Definitely laziness.  Although, journaling is a close second!

Yep this is me and I am still not great with journaling either (more from laziness LOL)
