Ali Edwards intimiates the heck out of me
So against my better judgment and the constraints on my day I have spent HOURS at Ali's blog. Yes . HOURS. Poring over albums, pages, stories, examples,etc and wondering how in the world is she even HUMAN? I admire her so much but frankly I am totally intimidated, lol. I want to try some of her projects, like the week in the life and the daily december one but my stuff is NOTHING like hers or even any of the other examples from other scrappers...I just feel like I'm not on par with her, but she is just so dang creative. There are digi scrappers that make me feel this way too.... so totally inadequate, lol. Do you ever feel that way? I know I know...just be yourself...blah blah blah...but sometimes I just wonder how some people get alllllllllllll that creativity and then others like me are just left scratching their heads, lol.

I used to but not so much anymore. I like my own style and abilities and I try to not compare to what other people are capable of. I know there are things I was blessed with and others are not so I am thankful for what I do have and I am able to do and what I dont have/cant do I just try to learn/improve from those who do/can.

Woman, you better get your butt off that pity party train!!
If you want to do the albums, then DO THEM! Who said it has to look or be like ANYTHING that Ali posted? You've got the basic ideas, now make it your own!

it just occured to me the main thing that bugs me about her...I hit the nail on the head. It's like she LIVES more and deeper than me. Like her life is richer and I'm just skimming the surface and missing so much..small moments, stories happening and not even being noticed. That kind of thing. so it's not even JUST her creativity but just her LIFE in general I guess.
I can't imagine being Dani's best friend, lol. that would SERIOUSLY be intimidating. I get intimidated just being a sugar babe, and being on Shawna and Kay's individual teams. I wonder a lot of the time, how in the world did I ever get here ?

All the time.
Ali is totally amazing - which is why I subscribe to her newsletter and have nearly every one of her books, just in the slightest hope that some of her influence might rub off on me. I took her class (A Week in the Life) several years ago, and it was hard work, but she was totally down to earth and very relaxed in the class. I totally loved what I came away with. But you're right about her seeming to be more observant about her life and the small things. Other paper scrappers that amaze me are Jennifer McGuire (she always comes up with new ways to do things), Emily Falconbridge and C.D. Muckosky (their sense of play and creativity). And yes, there are some hybrid and digi-scrappers that just amaze the heck out of me, some (OK, most) of them right here. They leave me wondering either - how did they make that page look so good, or - where did they come up with the idea to do that? But intimidation - no. It makes me want to scrapbook more, to get closer to that natural creativity they have. I know I will never be any of them, but I still like what I create and at least I can learn from them....
