Scrapping in general is outside my box. I started yet another overhaul and can't seem to get anything put away and clear a spot to work onFor me, sewing and inking are actually on another planet, not just out side of my box

* Layering patterned papers....I love the look, but I just can't get it to look "right enough" to put permanently on the page.* Cutting the pattern part out of big patterned papersThere are plenty more, but those two I really struggle with....

Inking, distressing, I haven't really tried either of them. Kinda scares me! hahaha!

I HATE cutting patterned paper to get a design out of it...Tearing paper too..can't to do itAnd I am so bad at mixing and matching pattern paper...Sometimes I don't know if it goes together...even if they are in the same line!~

Hmmm, there's alot I won't do, just because it's time consuming! Lately, outside the box for me is fabric flowers ( I have a TON of them!) and stamping. Stamping will always be outside my box, I'm afraid! Paint is a stretch too!

Wow, a lot of these are tough for me but I would say cutting patterns out of paper is something I have never done.

Scrapping actual PICTURES. (although if you check the gallery, I have posted a few in the past couple of days!!)Using the REALLY prime embellies (I won't have them in the future!)Mixing Manufacturers

layering dfferent pattern papers and altering chipboard mini books - I have bought many plain chipboard books and love the ones I have seen, but am afraid to attempt one - I'm so afraid I won't like it!

Using sticker and rubon images. I have no problem using the alphas, but I have so many images and rarely manage to get them on a page.Or grouping my embellishments - I think it's a really cool effect to put a lot of different embellishments together to spice up the page, but I'm not very good at actually doing it.

Doodling and sewing (actual sewing, not stitches from rubons or stamps).Mixing manufacturers is a good one - I don't do that much - esp. if it's different papers and not just embellishments.Another would be using stamps for things other than titles and swirls. Jenna

Inking would be the first, the doodling
