I know I often focus on my weaknesses. So I started thinking about what I do well.
For me it is putting together the basic layout. I generally am quite happy with picture placement and papers.
I am also getting pretty good at hiding my mistakes. Yes, I still somehow manage to drip glue where I don't want it. However, I am now quite adept at embellishing over it.

I love that you say you're good at covering up your mistakes.  I'm good at starting pages. I'm good at coming up with ideas. I'm good at being messy.  |

I'm good at matching colors. I have a good memory for color as well and can shop for specific colors easily.

Laying things out and weeding through a stack of 20 pictures narrow it down to just the best to scrap.

I thought shopping too! Color coordinating would be my second strength.

Journalling! I love writing stories on my pages.
Also, I think I'm good at embellishment clusters. Although I would love to have clean and simple pages.

I am good at the design of the layout. Also I tend to be very good at mixing all kinds of patterned papers together. Also journaling.

For me that is a huge part of scrapbooking, to tell the story of the photo. I hope someone appreciates it in the future. |

Shopping for sure followed by journaling. I wish it were paper layering but unfortunately I can't quite get the hang of that!

I can design a page fairly well, I like most of my recent pages although some have taken longer to "gel" than others. I go in spurts, using sketches then branching out on my own thinking about design principles of color theory, drawing the eye through the layout, groupings, etc. It is like a fun puzzle!
I also do well at incorporating my extensive stash and using things that are "old" and new together.
Great thread BTW darkchami!

My DD wanted to contribute that she is great at fold out mini-albums! My strength is color combinations and layout design and mixing pattern papers.

My scrappy strength is my ability to scrap nice pages quickly. I am a really fast scrapper and I love coming home from a crop with a stack of pages ready to go in the album.

Shopping? THIS!!! LOL. Seriously though, I excel at designing paper piecings and digital diecuts and I have a decent color memory. Which comes in handy for shopping.  |

Mini-albums. I want to be a great layout designer but I am always uber-critical of my layouts. Every once in a while I love them. I do think I'm a great journaler. |

Shopping. Definitely shopping. Then organizing everything. My weakness is getting started. It seems I have to dink around with the photos forever before I can come up with a design.

Definitely color coordinating for me.
Maybe journaling but I also struggle with it too.
