Have you ever lost your scrapping mojo?

**Stitch** · 09-06-2006, 12:49 PM

I've lost mine....don't know how or why....but it is gone. I completely ripped up a layout last night because I hated it. Tried to work on another one this morning and I'm not liking it either.

Has this ever happened to any of you?

Haven't started my scrapping yet but had a very similar experience with cross stitch once! It will come back. Leave it awhile and do something different. Good luck!

Maybe it decided to take a vacation to WDW? LOL

This is probably why I have so many little projects half finished...lol I jump from hobby to hobby sometimes so I dont get too burnt out doing the same thing. Try knitting for a few days and you will be happy to get back to scrapping. Have you ever tried to knit...yeesh , all those knit 1's and pearl 2's. Hmm..maybe because it involves too much math is why I gave up on it...lol

Um, have you looked at the Animal Kingdom Show thread lately? Yeah, that happened to me on Monday. And as soon as I get the pictures developed I'm going to post the new and improved version.

Funny thing...that's the challenge I'm fighting with. I think it's because I am doing Tarzan rocks and the pictures are very green and yellow and not so good.

I guess if I do it to get it done than maybe the next layout will be better. I guess they all can't be works of art.

I really, really like what I did for Tarzan. It is so different (for me anyway). But the pictures really stink. I never took good pictures because I have it on video (thanks to Mr. iwannabeminnie). Now it's closed and I'll never get the opportunity to take better ones. Mr. iwannabeminnie thinks we might be able to get still prints off of the videos somewhere, but I haven't looked into it yet.

April, I go through this ALL of the time. What I do is just leave everything alone and within a week or so, I begin to get excited again about scrapping and the juices start to flow.

If the video was done on digital you can easily save "frames"to then get printed off... that is what I did for the night show LO. I had a short video of the fireworks and I put in on my computer and used the software that comes with Windows XP...Windows movie maker and when you play the video and there's a little camera button and click it when you want to save the picture!! then I put it on a cd or whatever and off to walmart for photo finishing....
