So irritated at this point.  I am trying to duplicate a wedding card that I made 2 years ago.  Easy right?  Wrong..this time around nothing is going right, I have had to recut my pieces at least twice, they are ripping when i'm trying to take off the excess adhesive.  I didn't have the rhinestones that i wanted (finally found something that i liked and used).  I've considered just going and buying a card at this point.

So what project has gotten the best of you lately???

actually I have 5 projects lying here that are partially done - none of them are just coming together the way I want - so I'll leave them for a while and see if inspiration strikes.

My latest addition to the gallery had a MAJOR oops even after 15 minutes of thinking about doing it or not.  I journaled straight onto the background and immediately hated it.  It's a kit paper and my ONLY sheet of it.  Panicked for a bit, but finally went digging for a complementary piece of cardstock, cut off the inch of paper that was 'damaged' and then a matching strip from the side and matted it.  Not the solution I wanted to go with, but I am at least happy with the final result rather than just 'dealing' with the damage.

Mojo has gotten the best of me lately. I have been so busy that when I finally do sit down to scrap, I just move things around aimlessly. Ugh...very frustrating. Hoping it comes back this week. I have a lot I want to do since it is spring break here!

The last Disney LO that I uploaded to the gallery ("The Star") had me tearing my hair out and mumbling choice words under my breath.  I think I have 12hrs of work in that LO. Ridiculous!  I moved things around, glued them down then tore them back off so many times that the finished product has many pieces of pp or embellies strategically placed to cover up spots where the paper tore. I am slightly OCD in that I cannot start another LO while one is still not finished. So, I had to keep at it-as frustrating as that was-  until it was finished. Sometimes the scrappy mojo just doesn't work.

So glad it isn't spring break here yet....as spring hasn't come! It's only 12 degrees out this morning!

After Carrie's post about rub ons, I've been trying to use some with not so successful results. 

Hello.  Just yesterday I was trying to cut out some stuff on my Cameo to make a St. Patrick's Day card for my son.  I tried three times and each time, something was wrong with the cut.  I finally gave up and tried something different!  I'm not new to the Cameo, but sometimes I have one of those days where nothing seems to cut right for me.

It's always good to know i'm not alone.
