The second part of this article will be having a look at the harder parts of cheap scrapbooking. Its not always going to be fun and success, and is the reason why its crucial 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 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'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 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 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!
