How to scrap! It's so annoying too last night I stayed up late to work on a layout and it looks horrible I can't even scrap lift nicely!

So what do you do when everything you try looks like crap? I need help!! LOL

Templates don't help when I feel like this, but sometimes looking at a page map does. Usually though my only answer is to just push through. I've been known to start over from almost the beginning on a layout and keep reworking it until I am finally happy. You are a phenomenal scrapper, so I doubt this will last for long.

Templates help me. Or I just take a few days off until I start feeling it again.

I know... my mojo has gone flat, too... darn vacation - you would think with the 1300+ photos, I would have plenty to scrap and I'm just staring at the screen... sometimes going through my photo folders helps inspires me... maybe that will help this them...

I am having the same issue! I got so frustrated and annoyed earlier that I decided just to take a nap instead!

You know, something I tried once when I was in a funk is scraplifting yourself. Dig waaay back in your old pages (something not using a template) and pick one to lift. It's pretty fun! My page turned out nothing like the original but it was a great way to get me creative again. Not sure if it will work for you, but it's worth a try!
