What are your go to ways to get the creativity flowing again? Do you go through those dry spells?
I browse through Jen Schow's you tube videos for ideas or browse through pinterest.

My mojo goes missing every once in a while, luckily not very often. I usually look for a sketch or a page on pinterest that I can scraplift.
If I am struggling with photos - I go to sketches, youtube, pinterest or the gallery here. For the most part, just going through my supplies gets me going

YouTube videos, sketches and ACOT Challenges work for me!
I used to clean or reorganize my scrap room. I usually found something to spark my interest.
Lately though, I have been hooked on watching Utube videos also!

Yes, this happens to me....thankfully not as often as before. When I am in a scrapping drought, I look at the challenges here, browse the gallery and Pinterest.... and of course, place an order to get some new scrappy supplies that often bring scrappy mojo with them!!

I've had assignments for the past few years to keep me going. Lately, I am physically so tired/drained that the idea of standing up and scrapping is more than I can handle. Hoping my hubby gets me that stool for my birthday! If I get going usually the papers are enough to make me happy and going again.
I go to my book of sketches, or browse the shop. Sometimes a certain embelly or paper will spark something.
OCD is not an adjective. It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized. It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son.
For me there’s nothing I can do. I’m best just doing something else non crafty and it returns when it’s ready. When I try to force it I get worse. I never go more than a week without it returning in some form.

I've done that a time or two, as well.

I will check out sketches or the gallery here or Pinterest for ideas. I also will work on journaling - looking up online info for a project or typing up journaling.

this is how I am generally....just have to let it pass
I have felt this way. For along time now. It has been very frustrating. I have several ideas but, I have had a hadrd time executing the plan and getting it done.

I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure.

I usually just look through my latest scrappy order and pick something fresh and new to work on.
