    Mine is layering/clustering. I can't manage to put more than 2-3 elements together. I see all these gorgeously layered layouts and am :tantrum.

    What's your struggle when scrapping?

    I think the thing that takes me the longest is to pick out which kits/products I want to use when I'm doing random type pages that are themey. I sometimes spend more time looking for just the right kit/alpha than I do actually scrapping the page.

    This is me too. And choosing a background paper and sticking to it, I'm so indecisive about that for some reason.

    Lately mine would be even finding the time to do one LOL. Since the little peanut has become mobile life is a lot busier.

    Mine is using circles...when there is a template that has a lot of circle paper spots or a speed scrap that the host wants us to cut our paper into circles, I'm never quite happy with the end result.

    oh boy do circles get me too...
    I so enjoy the process of scrapping, it is beyond therapeutic for me. I get frustrated when what is in my head isn't working on the canvas.

    THAT is sooo me! I have to have a clear idea of what I'm doing, what my page probably will look like and which photos I'm using. But once all that is figured out, it's smooth sailing. :)

    I think it's a tie between clustering and finding new ways to use papers. I end up with a lot of "flat" pages - meaning just a background with elements on top and no stacked papers or anything.

    The title would be the most difficult part for me and maybe using circles too.

    Oh gosh yes...I have such problems with titles. I can fill a page with journaling but those three or four words I have the hardest time with. I always feel like my titles are super lame.

    I struggle with composition. Just when I first open up a page (when I'm not using a template), it takes me a while to figure out where I want everything to go. Sometimes it turns out great and other times I spend an hour and pitch it in the trash and start over LOL

    I struggle with -where- to put my journaling. I want all my pages to have the story on them- it's important to me. But a lot of the pages I like have NO journaling and they look so clean. Then trying to put my journaling on the page makes it look so messy :( Then the struggle of- do I put it on a tag/piece of cardstock/etc. or just on the background paper?

    TITLES!

    I hoard alphas, but hardly ever use them because I can never think of interesting or clever titles for my pages.
