JOURNALING for sure. I dont always journal because I cant think of what I want to say.

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.![Very Happy :-D](./images/smilies/smile_lol_16.png)

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".
I used to be a "celebrity cherry", but now I'm in re-hab...... Holy Carp!
Re: Okay what are your trouble spots- in scrapbooking?
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!Grandma Flowers wrote: My biggest problem is just sitting down and doing it.

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!
Re: Okay what are your trouble spots- in scrapbooking?
Yep this is me and I am still not great with journaling either (more from laziness LOL)Ladybug11 wrote:My biggest issue is getting started....I always seem to have a slow start becuase I am usually trying too hard to make it absolutely perfect...I should just go with it and have confidence that it will come out great in the end!
