Earlier this month I wanted to make something... but felt totally overwhelmed. Layouts --12 by 12 or 8.5 by 11 -- weekly journals, art journals, mini albums, day in the life stuff. There are so many options and ways to scrapbook our memories now! Sometimes I spend so much time thinking about the *perfect* way to document moments and memories, I don't actually get anything done!
What happens if we choose the wrong thing, the wrong size, the wrong format?
I decided to just start making something. What would be the worst that could happen? I wouldn't like it? Maybe. But there's really no way it could be *wrong*. It did take me several days to convince myself of this, though.
Printed photos from the first weekend in June, that I had posted on Instagram. I made stuff. I typed. It's not done, but it's getting there. But, I'm glad I got started.
When in doubt.... make things. Just make it.
What do you do when you get stuck?
Do you ever just make it?
If you're on Instagram, share your projects in progress -- use #justmakeit !
To see more photos of albums and projects in progress...

It's funny how we work sometimes isn't it? Good for you on just getting going and I agree, any excuse to use washi tape IS a good one! lol
"When in doubt...make things." You are a scrappy guru. :)
