Sometimes for me, the DT stuff took a lot of fun out of scrapping, so I didn't feel like it when I went to do it for fun again.Heather Landryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367757402071557434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896773952053562495.post-28971683937378891272013-06-04T04:19:54.697-07:002013-06-04T04:19:54.697-07:00First let me say - love the layouts! :) I go thro...First let me say - love the layouts! :) I go through many periods of lost mojo, but I don't think I'd ever be able to just give up scrapbooking. It is too much of who I am, and such a creative release for me. I know it's been hard for you, too. Many dropping a DT or not having as many commitments weighing you down will help.<br /><br />I am also going through a period where I haven't been totally in love with some of my layouts lately. But I keep at it. My motto is that they can't ALL be winners, LOL. I've been doing my PL too, lots of birthday/anniversary/mom day/dad day/grad cards to get done this time of year as well ... and since I'm a chronological scrapper, I keep a list of layouts to do. Sometimes I'm just not feeling the next one. But I challenge myself to get it done so I can go to one I am feeling. It is what works for me, and I know it isn't for everyone.<br /><br />No matter what, I consider you a friend. I've opened up to you, and I hope you know that you can ALWAYS open up to me. I'm in your corner, and will send as many ((hugs)) as you need, OK?!? xoxoTanya Hamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02709395824407749371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896773952053562495.post-55832644703905557772013-06-03T21:21:46.543-07:002013-06-03T21:21:46.543-07:00These are fabulous!

Like you, I completed what I HAD to get done and that was it. And then BAM I got June's Scrapbook Circle kit and had an absolute blast with it. You know how writers say that sometimes after coming out of writers block the words literally flow out of the pen onto the page? That's is how I felt. Creating easily and joyfully and happy with the results. I think those blocks force you to take breaks and then you try something new or go back to something you liked the results of before and reconnect to what about scrapbooking makes you happy.

I almost always prefer flat over lumpy, no matter what the item.<br /><br />I think all of us go through periods where we don't love our LOs, aren't feeling the passion, etc. but that's no reason to give up. It's not black and white- you can have a break (short or long) without going so far as to say you're quitting. For a lot of people, dropping DT or other obligations can bring back the joy. I'm not recommending you do that (your DT stuff always looks fab!) but it's something to consider.Cindy deRosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548172713029101167noreply@blogger.com
