creativity

In a previous post I covered the big idea myths that may be affecting you as a scrapbooker. Today, I'm going to look at some of the smaller ideas that may be holding you back just as much as some of those bigger ideas.

Thanks to everyone who posted their ideas here! Especially Rachel who created a lot of this list.

I love scrapbooking and I have a singular obsession with it. I am somewhat amazed that for the many years I've been doing it (over ten years digital scrapbooking and basically my whole life paper scrapbooking) I have not yet tired of it. In fact I think I love it even more today than I have in the past. Part of the reason for this is that in the last few years I've really been able to focus in on what I love and do more of it. What's helped me make this breakthrough was identifying certain myths that were informing what I thought I should be doing.

Is one of your goals for the new year to get organized? We have a thread in our forums dedicated to organizing digital supplies, and it's such a popular topic that we've stuck it to the top of the forum and the moderators and I are always referring people to it. What's a digital scrapbooker to do with so much stuff? For some of you DigitalScrapbook.com is not really helping the situation, so I'm here today to let you in on a secret and the key to my success at actually finishing layouts.

Yesterday I was browsing through folders of my old work when I realized that I have a whole year's worth of work that I've been ignoring and that needs to be updated and uploaded to the site (a lot of it is here, but you can't easily tell that it's related). So you can except a lot of mini kits and their assets to be appearing here.
