It's why I still haven't printed my 2018 album, even though it's 99% finished. I also put off scrapping photos that are really meaningful because it's so hard for me to find the "right" products to use for something I love so much.

Yup--special photos are the other part of my problem. Some of the pages are trips where I'm drowning in photos, but there's also a nice photo of my parents the last time we saw them pre-Covid, a photo of my middle son's last Halloween dressing up, and a first day of school photo for my oldest who usually resists having his photo taken. I put them off until I feel like I can do them justice, and it never seems to be that time!

Another thing I do is delete a few photo spots or replace a few smaller photos with a big photo. (Or not, because then I'd be pushing Kellie to scrap pages she is putting off, and I don't want to be responsible for that, LOL!)

Many times I won't even keep track of what items were used, so that I don't post it! I scrap these pages mostly for me and figure once it's done, it's done and I don't have to worry about it at all!

That's how I handle pages that are harder for me to scrap, too. It's never a bad thing to take some of the pressure off, but sometimes it helps and sometimes my block is more stubborn than I am.
