Lost my motivation...

Hi there fellow scrappers... I was just curious if any of you have ever lost your motivation to scrap and if so, how'd you get it back?

I used to scrap for hours up in my room when I lived at home (before I got married) but now that I am married, I just can't get into it.
Any suggestions on how to get my "flow" back? Has this ever happened to anyone?

All suggestions are welcome...

TIA,

Debra

Ohh yes...its happened to me!!

What I did to try and get my motivation back I would go throughmy scrapping stuff, pull out a few projects that i wanted to work on....and take it one step at a time. for me, if i have too many pictures or I feel like I have to work on one album (like our wedding album) its toomuch for me. So i break it down to one 2 page layout at a time. This way i can work on a variety of pictures and not get board with one theme!!

I also find going to crops helps me....even though I tend to talk all day!! but at least i get to see what others are working on.

HTH's

I go through phases of scrapping like a maniac to doing nothing at all. I mostly go with it since I want this to be an enjoyable hobby.

What helps me when I want to scrap is scraplifing (copying another layout) to suit my pictures, maybe do some cards or a different format. I was in a slump in the spring but knocked out a small 6x6 album for DH in a weekend.

I do..I used to do it a lot, now I love to buy the stuff, just cant get back into it..I find myself bored or not wanting to do it before I
even get the stuff all out and ready...

Thanks Ladies!

I am like that too.. I bought all the stuff I just can't get into it. I think I have too many projects ready to go just I don't know where to start. But I am going to work on it this weekend and see if I can get back into the groove.

Good Luck to all of you.... and hopefully I'll be posting that I got my groove back.. LOL

Thanks again.. you are all so wonderful!

Please post what you come up with!! :D

I have two projects that I HAVE to get done this week and I struggled for 5 hours with one of them last night and I really don't have much to show for it. I hope I can make some real progress tonigh since the week is half over.

I'm still waiting for any motivation...I love the idea of scrapbooking...love Michael's and can spend tons of $$ in there...but everything just sits in the bags never to be used. Hopefully one of these days...

its happened to me twice, then once I start I scrap from like 7pm-3am
lol

I did a real quick gift album last month but other then that I have not scrapbooked in months. I have been adding to my supplies and reorganizing them but that's about it. It's stupid too since I want to and have nothing to do most nights.
