Biggest challenge?
What is your biggest challenge as a digital scrapper? Mine is not finding enough time. I wish I could quit my job and scrap all day. I love the weekends for that reason.

Yep, time! and stamina. I like to create a LO and then get up and do something and then come back to my laptop, repeat.

Stamina
I can relate to the stamina issue. (She says as her back hurts)

Besides the obvious time/not enough hours in the day/have to go to work but would rather stay home & scrap - my obstacle is kids growing up & not wanting their photos taken as often. I try to respect their wishes- and I have tons of old pics to get through, but I can see at SOME point- all my layouts are going to be of our dogs! lol!

I'm chuckling. My thought was "life" getting in the way of my scrapping time. But...it's that "life" that I'm scrapping about.

Distractions. I'm already a slow scrapper, but I have to have YouTube or music or something playing on my 2nd screen while I scrap. Then I get distracted and it takes twice as long

As my daughter got older, the biggest obstacle has been having her make a decent face for photos. I swear when she is much older she is going to regret all the faces she has made. LOL.

photos of something other than my dog, lol. I need to get out and about with my camera again. Finding inspiration of things I want to photograph.

Same reasons here. By the time I'm done with work I don't have the mental energy to scrap. (Some days I have time and some I don't, but even when I do I need something mindless like crochet.) My kids are 15, 18, and 20. They rarely want their photos taken, and their stories aren't mine to tell in the same way as when they were young. My 3rd obstacle is overload. I take photos less often, but when I do it's usually an event and I have so many to sort though! Same for when I take screenshots of news stories to help give context to our lives. I love having those current events pages in our albums, but I hate sorting all the screenshots and picking which ones to use.

Yes, time! Like people said before, by the time I get home from work, my energy level is zero. Oh how I wish I could take picture and scrap all day.

Printing albums, but I have come up with a plan to just print pages as they are finished, rather than waiting until a full year is scrapped to print it.

My dog barking at anything and everything. She usually won't stop unless I go to see what she is barking at!
For those of you that say more time... I am retired and I thought the same thing. That I would have all the time in the world to scrap. Hasn't worked out that way at all! Many people told me that I would be busier when I retired than I was when I worked and I didn't believe them! They were right. My life only slowed down when health issues got in the way but then I was going for testing and doctors appointments quite often. And, I didn't have the stamina to scrap for long periods of time. |

Now that I'm retired, I can find plenty of time to scrap (but that's what happens when you are OLD - lol). My biggest struggle sometimes is mojo - seems I run in spurts - I can scrap, scrap, scrap and then feel burned out for weeks.

The internet restrictions in this country. It really pulled me out from how much I really want to scrap, e.g., I cannot access dropbox, which designers used to host their products before they go live in the shoppe.

that's why you get a lot of photoless pages, quotes, poetry, or repeats of photos from me lately.

Time is an issue and deciding which photos to use. Sometimes I swear I take more time going through photos and picking the ones to scrap with than actually making the page,

Deciding what to scrap and what not to scrap.
And being consistent, I'm bad to do hundreds of pages over a couple months and then take months and months away because I burned myself out. |
