Hi Crystal

I just wondered, what has been your toughest scrapbooking challenge?

Hmm, good question. 

I think the hardest challenge is overcoming my inner critic.  It is so easy to get bogged down with what I can't do or am not doing that it hinders my creativity.  I actually have little imaginary conversations with myself as I am scrapping - sort of like a pep talk with myself.:)  

With actual techniques and scrapbooking I would say right now it is double pages.  I used to do them all the time but slowly I have got into the habit of single pages (and I do still love them) that I find it a bit of challenge when I want to do a double pager.  I am starting to do them more again and feeling a bit more comfortable but I still not completely there.  I think whatever is your stumbling block (and it will change from time to time) just needs practice.  Basically the more you do whatever challenges you the more comfortable you feel.  Plus I love a good challenge - something to push me to figure it out. :)
