8. Do you struggle to create some layouts because they are too important, too special, too valuable, or too precious? In Episode 8 we'll examine the vortex, quagmire, snowballing pit of despair that is caused by perfectionism.

We'll get real about WHY it's so important NOT to put off scrapbooking our really important photos, layouts, projects and albums.

We'll talk about the imperfection and unreliability of memory... with a crazy real life example... or two!

PROMPT: Make a layout about a special moment or event that you've been avoiding, or saving, to make it "just right". 

TIP: Take time to plan the page. You want this to be successful, so consider your design and write your journaling on scratch paper first.

Are you a photo-driven or story-driven scrapbooker? 

Do YOU use a photo more than once? 

PROMPT: Create a layout that is a 'best of collection'. A 'Top 5 Photos of August' layout is the perfect way to use a photo more than once in your scrapbooks.

TIP: Try it! Use a photo more than once, especially if it's a photo you love!

2. Why Do You Scrapbook?
Alice Boll from ScrapHappy.org encourages you to examine your scrapbooking why.

Answers are as diverse as scrapbookers themselves but often fall into these 3 categories:

• A. To preserve photos.
• B. Artistic pursuit.
• C. Storytelling and family history/legacy.

Actually… many scrapbookers have an answer that reflects all three! (Pick D… all of the above!) 

5 scrapbookers from the ScrapHappy membership shared their scrapbook ‘why’ with us. Thank you so much Heather DuBarry, Libby Wiers, Tina Campbell, Wynell Keel and Misty Murphy. No matter what your why is, I hope you’ll consider it. It may help put you on the path to creating the scrapbooks you’ve always wanted.

Prompt: Create a layout about something that helps you find the positives in your life.
Tip: Ask yourself, “Why do I scrapbook?”
