ACOT Message Board

so I haven't scrapped since the national scrapbook day crop in may. but I have placed two big orders here for paper, and gotten my monthly kits. so I have four "kits" sitting on my desk but no mojo. seriously I even printed out pictures to do some of the challenges here but I just can't bring myself to do anything.

so for those who have some mojo, please PLEASE send me some.

I think your mojo went on vacation with mine!!!

I have mojo but lack of time! So busy getting ready for vacation, gone for 11 days, 298 photos I've been editing & posting on FB, and looking for/buying supplies to scrap them at an all-day crop on the 22nd. I did get a little scrapping in yesterday but didn't finish the page.

Gosh...I hate when that happens. Hopefully all the awesom ACOT challenges for June will kick start that mojo!!!

Ugh - that's the worst! Happens to me frequently so I can relate! I wish I knew a way to snap out of it.

well I hope our mojos are having a good time.

I've lost my mojo and I even checked with the lost and found department. LOL No one has turned it in. Will somebody help me find it? I haven't done one challenge yet this month and if I don't find it soon this month will be over.

I had my mojo when the MM challenges were posted by Laura, but I lost it in the middle of the first layout I was doing, er... am still doing. I sure hope we all get our mojo back.

I'm right there with you . I can't seem to get going, even though my MoJo is always with me. (My dogs name is MoJo and he's always by my side).

Maybe start by looking at the new challenges and do one that looks "super easy" to you, or really exciting. And don't try to make it an "all out" page, just put some pics on a page and go from there. Starting is the hardest part sometimes, so if you just start, I bet the rest will follow. Maybe just make a simple page, like especially if you have a 8x10 or something to scrap, just go with it.

A browse in the gallery usually helps me too

Maybe Tinkerbell can help with your mojo! I got to admit I have no time right now - the business of summer has set in - YUCK!!

What a great photo!!!!!

I'm so sorry...I hate when that happened. I have two suggestions: 1. Maybe go to a crop night or scrap with friends. Sometimes that helps. 2. Last time it happened to me I used a sketch and that helped me to do the first page. After that my mojo came back!

Good luck

ugh! I hate that! So sorry!!

I usually browse online. Sometimes checking out the manufacturers' blogs or the gallery here. Often I just pull some papers and a sketch and go at it!

maybe we should start a club, mines AWOL too!! with DD moving to TN I've just lost all motivation. even though i moved into her room and have lots more space for my scrappy stuff. i just can't seem to get things going
*Jill that a beautiful side kick you have!!

Jill, your Mojo is so adorable!!!

it is difficult to get back in the swing of things! I know when we have so much else going on in our lives that diverts out attention away and makes us feel a bit guilty about taking the time to scrap too (like this time of the year is the kids getting out of school, graduations, vacation plans, etc) - maybe we just have to go with the flow and not have such high expectations of ourselves, things will get there when the mood and timing is right! you are heading in the right direction though, being prepared! good luck!

Check Bibi's "Good Morning" thread for today - I posted what I was "taught" and in turn teach to my classes. HTH!!!
