The second part of this guide will be looking at the harder parts of cheap scrapbooking. It isn't always going to be thrills and success, which is why its necessary to cover this part. Last article covered cheap scrapbooking supplies, so now we're moving on to success and failure.
So brace yourself:
Fear of Failure
The biggest problem facing folks new to cheap scrapbooking is the phobia of failure. Nobody likes to fail, myself included. However , if it was not for failing, I wouldn't be the scrapper I'm today - some of my largest learning experiences came from failure.
To conquer this, start by making an album that you expect to fail. If it becomes anything better than a failure, you are going to be pleasantly surprised!
The toughest part of this information is to accept that occasionally you will fail and it will hurt, but in the end, it all leads to learning the things that do and don't work in the cheap scrapbooking process.
Getting Results
Leading in from failure is getting results. Now there is a good slogan I use when discussing cheap scrapbooking which I learned from auto dealers, and that is: 'mileage may vary'.
If you give two people the same materials and the same amount of time to make a scrapbook one is undoubtably going to turn out better than the other - its just human nature.
While we've all got our good days and bad, the true difference comes with experience. With all materials being even, the person with more experience with cheap scrapbooking is almost always going to turn out a better album more frequently.
Its these experiences that brings results, learning how to do more with less and how creativeness can triumph over a good number of issues.
I know this info might come across as a bit of a downer, but with each accomplishment comes trial and error. Even great artists had to go through their own personal battles to get where they are now - so take heart!
