What's hard for you to scrap?

[Stephanie]

I thought this would be neat to so see that others dread doing certain pages.

For me, I HATE doing Christmas pages. I don't' know why. I've got a Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Christmas Morning, and Family pics for Christmas to scrap and I am pulling teeth to get them done! I've got two done already, but those four are screaming at me! I'd much rather do random shots, or candids.

So what do you dread scrapping? :rolleyes:

The hardest thing for me to scrap is a layout about me. I hate it!!! Unfortunately , when I was on the studio crew at SBG's that was what the challenges were.:eek: Man I struggled and I hate pics of me- so that made it harder. Once I took a stock photo of a girl and put it into the layout instead of me! LOL

THat is too funny.

I think right now the hardest for me to scrap are the Reflections pages (being the new year and everything) because last year was not something I really want to reflect on - and then the Be My Valentine type pages that a lot of challenges on other sites are starting to promote.

I don't like LOs about myself much either - there are so few photos that I find "bearable" of me that I would much rather just skip over that. However, since it is important that my presence with the children is in the baby books as much as any others I am working on getting over that one!

Other than that I go through phases. I often find that in challenges I come up against something I find difficult ... maybe a kit that isn't all that inspiring at the time, a subject I have nothing much to say/scrap about right then, a photo that seems important but isn't getting the creative juices flowing. However I find that overcoming the "finding it difficult to do" can produce some of the best LOs!

I have NO problem whatsoever with doing pages about myself simply because I just don't do them! LOL

But, seriously, the pages I have the hardest time doing are the ones I feel I HAVE to do. It's hard for me to find inspiration when I'm trying to "force" it. I do much better just looking through a bunch of pictures until I find one that inspires me on its own. Or, sometimes, if there's a kit, BG, or element that I REALLY like then I am inspired enough with that and then finding a photo that will partner with it is much easier.

I think you nailed it...I have a hard time with those "have to pages" too. Like I have a whole bunch of photos from New Years that I want to get scrapped...but none of them are inspiring me - so I keep putting it off. When I paper scrapped, I only did pages like that - chronological albums and stuff - now that I'm digi, I like to do random stuff instead! My chronological albums have all but disappeared!

close but no cigar donna! and Sue, you are right. It's all about have to pages. And I am an chronological freak. BUT I still paper scrap mini albums that i don't want to digi scrap.
For me, Digi scappin is for everyday, paper scrappin is for special events.
Selah will have a first birthday album (6x6 or 8x8) that will be paper scrapped. I can get the album done nicely in about 2-3 hours.

I just realized that certain colors are hard for me to scrap too. Like Lime green, neon green, neon pink ... well neon anything really lol and so on. There are lots of kits that have colors that I am not all that fond of, but it still works for me in a kit, and then there are some colors that just kill any kind of inspiration on my part.

[mommysmemories]

For me, it would be layouts that are about anything BUT my kids! I just find journaling really hard, unless it's something that's been on my mind for quite a while. :o

[boobearsmama1]

I totally agree with christie. It is very hard and stressful to do the "have to" type pages. I have always enjoyed scrapping from the heart. Whatever I felt like scrapping that day, I did. I like scrapping for myself. My layouts tend to turn out so much better.

I havent found any particular subject hard to do. I guess..maybe other peoples' kids.

I have such a hard time doing LO's of my son. Pictures from when he was younger are easy to do, but now that he is 15 it's sooo hard. I really want the LO to reflect HIM, and it is so hard to find kits that I like to make the LO really show who he is! I usually end up doing a montage or a very simple LO, and I'm still never really happy with it.

[Sandersmr]

Kryss - Sounds like you need to create a kit just for him!

[kellyshults]

Lately, I have been having a hard time scrapping anything, because I don't like my pictures! Isn't that sad! I am dissatisified with the quality of photos I get from my HP, which makes it hard to get inspired to scrap. :(

[Stephanie]

Kelly, It's hard for me to scrap photos that aren't good quality. But lately i've just set my camera on auto b/c well with a almost 1 year old its hard to adjust your settings and still get those priceless candids. So some of my photos have poor lighting. So yeah, it stinks.
