Default Do you ever feel like...

You hit a rut and all your layouts start to look the same?

I almost feel like I'm recreating the same layout over and over again... like I've found a formula that I like and I'm beating it to death!

I need to break free... LOL!

LOL, all the time. I've been using templates lately, hoping I'd get out of my rut. I also did a page recently based on an ad on TLC for Jon and Kate Plus 8. I'm looking for inspiration everywhere because I was sick of everything I was doing.

Oh definitely. And I'm still new to scrapping. LOL! I'm also victim of the I-think-I-like-a-layout-and-then-look-at-it-the-next-day-and-hate-it syndrome.

I've been in a major creative block! And thennn yesterday, trying to BREAK it, I browsed the galleries and it only made it worse because then I realized how awful my work was by comparison to like EVERYONE HERE! I need new chee (or whatever word it is??) That's why my messenger status said I needed to do yoga or something and find inner peace earlier...

All the time! I definitely have to use the galleries as inspiration just to get new ideas to use as a starting point.

Yup - me too... but when you scrap with the same designers (and I stick to the Sweet Shoppe mostly now!) you are given much of the same kinds of materials to work with too...so I'm trying to branch out a bit. Oh, the challenges help but all my layouts still look like me.

This happens to me all the time.........I end up restarting the LO over. Especially with single photo LOs, not so much with multiphoto ones!
