who's in a creative slump? :(

say aye!

it's the most frustrating thing. i went through my scrapbooks etc mag, looked through galleries, used templates but nothing is looking good. coupled with my laptop deciding to make life harder and shutdown unexpectedly doesn't help either. i'm also trying the challenges but only produced 1 so far. i can't seem to get out of it!:mad:
 
Meeeeee!! I've done 1 LO in the past 2 weeks. And even that one took me the whole weekend to do!
 
I keep opening and giving it a try (even going thru the challenges and starting them) but nothing sparks. You know, like when you turn the key in your car and ...... nothing!!! LOL so, I'm trying to do a few projects here and there which seem to be flowing right along. I think the lack of photos is stiffling me. Anyone have some they want scrapped??

Poor Sara - I've been in a real slump with her designs lately but I'm a working on a lil sumpin sumpin...
 
Glad I am not the only one!!!! I am all up the for challenges (FINALLY!!!) and I can't seem to get any done. I did the last Cookie and that is it so far!!!!
 
i've been doing a few pages at a time. i start one, get stuck then start another hoping the bulb inside my head would light up, but lately it's such a struggle. i feel like whatever i do has been done before. i guess i'm trying to be original again but i'm not too good at it. i use a lot of clustering and i'm looking at cleaner pages. i just love the beauty of being minimal and clean, but i end up adding more and more. mostly because of ct work, i try to use as much of the kit to show the potential of the product. myabe i should just stick to my own style - whatever that is.
 
i am struggling big time! my last LO took days today and was the 4th version.

I've been looking at the challenges and just feel creatively paralyzed. :thumbdown:

I'm trying to focus on other things and free up my mind. or something.
 
I am trying to get out of a slump that has been hanging on all summer! I started with a Cookie and I amd hoping I can get the other one done and by then maybe my creativity will get a jump start! Only time will tell.
 
*raising hand* things have been crazy and it kept me away from the computer, sick kid, injured nan, miserable husband, being ill etc etc, when I got computer time back in my day I had such a huge pile of stuff that needed doing I just didn't know where to start. Now I still have a pile of stuff to do, absolutely no desire to do it and I am actually making excuses to avoid the computer altogether. I can't ever remember feeling like this before. *sigh* someone tell me everyone goes through this and it gets better please. Hugs Crystal xxx
 
Big hugs girlies!!! I swear the "creation" of the neapolitan challenge is my saving grace!!! I love to scrap lift but even that can feel so confining sometimes....sine discovering the concept of taking bits and pieces from 2 or 3 (or 4 or 5 or 6) LO's I can usually push right on through a sump!!!

Give it a try girlies it might help!!! :thumbup:
 
I've been sick and so I was in a slump yesterday bad....I saw my ideas in my head...and it just wasnt happening when I tried to do it. I redid one of my layouts three times. It wasnt pretty I was getting very cranky!
 
Oh and I started weeding through my scrapping supplies and man oh man it was not pretty!! I have so many freebies that its just plain awful (not the freebies but the fact that they are just wasting space on my hard drive) well some of them are pretty bad. I am also deleting any kits I paid for that just do not mesh with my style. I am getting a little more realistic about what I will use and what I wont use so that I have less to go through when I am trying to do a layout. I think that is effecting my scrapping. It is kinda depressing to see all the stuff never used and probably never will
 
Adding me to the list ladies! I think I just entered mine last night. Nothing seems to be coming together. I sure hope it doesn't stay for long! Big Bummer!

yikes! i don't even wanna think about it, but you're not alone there. i just don't have the heart to look through my stash right now and feel all guilty that all i did was unzip the files and never did a thing with them.
 
One thing I refuse to do is feel guilty for buying things but not using them. If I did that my mojo would probably never ever return.
 
It's hard not to add all those things up in your head. I've been restricting myself to $1 items so I don't feel bad. Labod Day weekend was a treat though, so many sales, so many choices to make. I had NO control over the spending. So here I am with plenty of awesome stuff but not sure what to do with them. :unsure:
