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 hardest problem facing people new to cheap scrapbooking is the fear of failure. Nobody likes to fail, myself included. Nevertheless if it was not for failing, I wouldn't be the scrapper I'm today - some of my most important 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 is a good slogan I use when covering cheap scrapbooking which I learned from 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 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!
