Scrap or crap

I always thought that creativity is one of my strength, somehow 'installed'. However recently, I am beginning to think that my creativity is now much diluted. I am specially creative if I am motivated. Perhaps no motivation = minimal creativity (below mediocre level even!).

Perhaps I need 'competition' cos my competitiveness or rather 'kiasu'ness has been the strongest driving factor for most of my successes. Do notice that most of my links here are to scrappers' blogs & webs. Hmm.. I create these links in attempt to absorb their creativity. Ha.. ha..

I thought I could do scrapbooking without having to attend (at least the very basic) class. I was wrong!
My plan now is to first, sign up for the scrapbooking class. I need to do this once & for all!
I have spend lots of $$ buying scrapping stuffs, papers, brads, ribbons, stickers etc.. And I did attempt to create a book for my son.

See what I meant? Scrap or crap?! This WAS an ugly album but I did not want to just throw it away, so I used it for my scrapbooking exercise.. I am way out of the scrapbookers' league!
Nevertheles, I love pretty papers. In fact it is one of my childhood hobbies, to collect pretty papers... wrapping papers, candy wrappers, perfumed letter papers, even boxes! I own few books about papers & papercrafts.
My love of papers & papercrafts attract me to scrapbooking. So now I just need to sign up for the basic class 1st and soon!
