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 overcome this, begin by making an album that you think to fail. If it develops into anything better than a failure, you're going to be in for a happy surprise!
The hardest part of this advice is to acknowledge that once in a while you will fail and it may hurt, but at the end of the day, it all leads to learning the things which do and do not work in the cheap scrapbooking process.
Getting Results
Leading in from failure is getting results. Now there's a good slogan I use when talking about cheap scrapbooking which I learned from second hand car 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 always going to turn out better than the other - its just man's 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 you do more with less and how your own creativity can beat a large 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!
