Maybe you just can’t decide what papers to use or which embellishments. Here are a few tips to help you overcome your scrapbooking burnout.
1. Learning a new scrapbooking technique can cure your burnout. Just try a new technique on one page layout today.
2. Is your photograph backlog keeping you from starting to scrapbook? Just choose a single photograph to be your focal point on a page layout. Just starting can get rid of scrapbookers’ burnout.
3. Give yourself permission to throw out poor quality photographs. Your backlog will start to shrink and just looking through your photos may inspire you.
