It's the quality that counts every time!! Rather one great one that 100 just OK's!! Today we have so many targets in life we have to meet, so scrapping should be something we do for us, as a way to remember and also as fun and relaxation...not with added pressure.

I felt so bad for not scrapbooking a zillion layouts in a month :p Like Hannah I can only enter challenges, if the subject really interests me (that's why I had a hard time at NKOTB). Creating something when it's a must, takes the fun *and* creativity out of things and I certainly don't want that to happen! Oh bless you!

The scrapbooking industry has grown so large it's easy to lose sight of why we got involved in the first place. Great to hear that we’re all on the same page girls.

About time someone spoke about this~~hehe wish I'd have thought to blog that myself! I'm a notoriously sloow scrapper! Not that it takes me days to actually work on 1 page but that I HAVE to pretty much be in the mood. Want to scrap. I'm not in this for speed and never have been. Never have I been one to complete hundreds of pages a year or upload daily to galleries. I have felt a little "weird" or maybe forgotten about in the digi community because of this sometimes. lol~that's OK:) Great post Karen! Well it’s about time!

I never start the year off saying I want to do so many layouts. It puts pressure on me and I find I can't do it. For me its all about the story. The memories - the good and bad and sad and happy. For me its about those moments, the everyday as well as the special. I am like Hannah. I never start the year off saying I want to do so many layouts. It puts pressure on me and I find I can’t do it.

Maybe I should write that up on a slip and post it to my monitor so I will remember.... :) Karen, thanks for noting my post! :) I wrote the post mainly to remind myself of WHY I do this – as you can see in my example – I often get so busy & motivated to crank out layouts that I forget – the heartfelt memories will be what my children treasure… Maybe I should write that up on a slip and post it to my monitor so I will remember…. :)
