Paralyzed by Possibibilities - Scrapbooking

I love Scrapbooking. I think I am addicted. I have been doing this for a bit over 1 year now and absolutely love it. I guess like many people I came to this craft after the birth of my son and I was looking at ways of persevering photos and memories that went beyond just putting photos into a album. I find it is a great creative outlet and a very personal way to capture and share my little family's history.

My problem though is sometimes I am paralyzed by possibilities. Sometimes I sit down with all of my equipment, photos printed and ready, papers and embellishments ordered and sorted and I freeze. I find that I become paralyzed by the possibilities of what I can do ... and as a result just come to a halt. I just find that sometimes making that first few steps is the hardest on beginning a page or off the page project. Once I have started it is all steam ahead.

If you find yourself doing the same ... a couple of things that I have found handy in overcoming this paralysis are

• Reading and using as a reference Layout Guide Books - I use Best of Becky Higgins Sketches for Scrapbooking. I have found this book indispensable for overcoming paralysis
  
• Reading Magazines (and accompanying websites - I personally subscribe to Scrapbooking Memories and Creating Keepsakes. I find both of them (and their accompanying websites really useful)
• Reading Blogs - Some of my favourite Scrapbooking blogs I have listed on the right include Scrapwitch's Book fo Shawdows, Srap the Boys and Memoirs of Michelle
