Fellow scrapbookers, let's chat for a moment. Do you have a huge stack of photos just waiting to be turned into a layout? I know I do. I went to my scraproom the other night to "just do a quick layout" and 40 minutes later, I was still trying to sort through the piles of photos I had sitting there. After I put my eyeballs back in their sockets, I figured I would just start with the photos from the farthest back. I'm backed up all the way to February, people. Anyone else behind??
Anyway, I grabbed a few photos from our trip to the Circus in February and got cracking. 30 frustrating minutes later, I threw the photos, the scraps of pattered paper, and cardstock on the floor in a huff. The photos just weren't "doing it for me." I couldn't envision a design for this page and all the cuts I had made didn't get me anywhere.
Do you ever have this problem - where you try to scrap a set of photos only to find you can't? How do you approach your scrapbooking? I try to put my albums together in chronological order, but clearly I cannot create layouts that way. I ultimately changed direction and grabbed photos from our photo shoot in March and I had this layout finished in no time.
I guess I just needed the right stuff! Jenn's photos clearly tickle my scrapbooking bone!
