s/o Are there prompts/challenges you want to do but don't

There are a ton of classes or challenges that I would love to participate in, but get around to a very small portion of them. Sometimes, I'm just good with supporting someone that put together a class, even though I don't get fully into it. Maybe there are supplies or digital content that make it well worth my while anyway Anything prolonged that I need to follow along with rarely works for me. Prompts/challenges tend to be a little free range for me when I have my PL to catch up on and decent quantity of pictures kitted and ready to go. I like classes that I can do on my own time and I avoid most things with a deadline (my exception is the card swaps I participate in). I do attend a couple of crops a year and love that time since the long weekend is fully blocked out for scrapping and "me" time. Crops are also when I plow through the kits I have.

For me, it always comes back to lack of time and the quantity of what is available. I also do both card making and scrapbooking (12x12, DD & PL plus not opposed to mini albums for a trip, etc.) so it's even hard to split my time between all of that, so I usually stick to what's already in progress. And I'm slowww and don't tend to copy ideas, I generally am looking for inspiration, and neither help the use of my time. Even through my kids are grown and just about completely flown, it hasn't freed up as much time as I expected. Eventual retirement may or may not help, we'll see!

Sketch challenges. I tend to to more 8.5x11 pages and a lot of times I can't see how a 12x12 could work. Definitely don't want to do WITL. My life is very routine.

I love possibilities. So I collect scrapping supplies and tools so I can have the option of using them.

I like creative ideas. I sign up for courses because I love the idea of trying something new. I watch the classes and often download the printables. I don't finish many of the projects. But I DO try many of the techniques or design ideas as I am doing my own thing.

I have lots of photos to scrap and stories to tell, a list of cards I plan to create and send, and I like challenges and classes that help me do that without my feeling forced to create a card I won't send or a page I won't put in my album.

I subscribe to LOAD, am inspired by the samples and all the takes on each challenge, and often incorporate their challenges into what I am scrapping. But I very seldom complete it, because it requires one page done every day. Some days I make a bunch of pages. And then there are stretches when I have no time or no energy or something else has my attention.

For all the reasons you said, linda I rarely take time to do any challenges. Sometimes I have a layout that fits POTW that I share.

I also used to do the team challenges but I got overwhelmed. I just finished an album for dgd2 first month and while I see most pages are so similar it makes me wince, it is DONE!

So, I see challenges as a distraction from my desire to get pages done and not a motivator.

I like projects and classes, but challenges just don’t motivate me. I have my own list of things I want to work on, not something someone else tells me!
