"Stick and go" or no?

I do a bit of both. When I have a clear idea of what I want the page to look like I just cut and stick but if I'm not so sure then I'll cut and lay papers down and move embellishments around until something gels and then I'll stick everything down and finish the page. I use a repositionable adhesive because I am terrible at sticking things down then wishing I'd added other layers further underneath than my adhesive will allow me to squeeze in.

I like Victoria Marie a lot. Once in a while I fast forward through her talking at the beginning. Shh, don't tell her! It was mostly her Christmas story telling videos, because she read her journaling and it was long.

  When I'm using a sketch I definitely stick and go. Sometimes it takes longer without a sketch, but I try to not over-think things. Sometimes picking out paper can take a while. I love Shimelle's videos and in one she talked about using the first acceptable thing you find instead of pondering all your options. Really good for hurrying things along.

I have to start with photos and then a sketch. Then I'm a stick and go girl. I am not creative. I scrapbook for the crafty aspect; cutting and gluing things and preserving some memories in the process. Otherwise, I'd be a dilly dally girl and very frustrated because I don't like to take a long time on my pages.

In my family, we used the term "fiddle fart around". 

Back to the original question, I'm happiest with the end result when I can just stick and go.  The more I play around with a layout, the less I like it. Once it starts going in a bad direction, I seem helpless to bring it back regardless of how much fiddle farting I do to it.
