Do You Suffer From One of These Cheap Scrapbooking Problems? (Part 2)

The second part of this discussion will be taking a look at the harder parts of cheap scrapbooking. It's not always going to be exciting times and success, which is why its important 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 most difficult problem facing folk new to cheap scrapbooking is the dread of failure. No-one likes to fail, myself included. Nonetheless if it wasn't for failure, I would not be the scrapper I am today - some of my biggest learning experiences came from failure.

To beat this, start out by making an album that you plan to fail. If it turns out anything better than a failure, you're going to be happily surprised!

The hardest part of this guide is to acknowledge that sometimes you will fail and it might hurt, but at the end, 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 a few people the exact same materials and the same quantity of time to make a scrapbook one is inevitably going to turn out better than the other - its just the way things happen.

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 information appears like a bit of a downer, but with each accomplishment comes trial and error. Even great artists had to go through their own trials to get where they are right now - so take heart!
