A lull after the frenzy

The first two weeks of January saw me complete 29 pages during my stash diet. It was really insane to do that many that quickly, as I then hit a wall. I went 5 days without touching my pages, as I just couldn't get motivated, and had no inspiration. But then yesterday, I finally had ideas again.

I was experimenting with some new methods, thinking those would help me execute my ideas better, but they really didn't. I think I'll stick to my old ways of looking at the pictures and letting them plan the page instead of trying to fit pictures into a pre-conceived layout.

Maybe the reason I wasn't having much success was that the pictures I was working with were ones that I could not figure out how to use before. So if I don't like the pictures, I probably won't like the page. I am one of those scrappers that thinks the pictures are more important than the paper and embellishments.

I completed four more pages, bringing my total to 33 done, 17 to complete.
