			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It happens to every scrapbooker.  No matter how long you&#8217;ve been scrapbooking, you&#8217;re going to face scrapbooking burnout at some time.  There can be so many reasons for it.  Maybe you just can&#8217;t decide what papers to use or which embellishments.  Here are a few tips to help you overcome your scrapbooking burnout.</p>
<p> 1.  Learning a new scrapbooking technique can cure your burnout.  Just try a new technique on one page layout today.</p>
<p> 2.  Don&#8217;t think you have to get through your entire photograph backlog.  Just pick one photo today, and showcase it on a page.  Just getting started may be just what you need. </p>
<p> 3. Clean out your photos. Why are you hanging onto blurred or poor quality photos?  Give yourself permission to toss them, and watch your backlog shrink.</p>
<p> 4. Your supply stash can bring inspiration.  Organize your supplies, and see if you are inspired to mix embellishments or papers in a new way.</p>
<p> 5. Flip through scrapbooking magazines for inspiration.  They are filled with great page ideas, techniques to try and information on the latest products. </p>
<p> 6.  Sign up for a scrapbooking class.  The excitement of a class is a terrific boost to motivate you to get more pages done.</p>
<p> 7. Gather your friends together for a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.intoscrapbooking.com/scrapbooking-crops/finding-scrapbooking-crops-online.html">scrapbooking crop</a>.  There&#8217;s inspiration and motivation in numbers.  If you prefer not to set up a party of your own, check out your local scrapbooking store for a group crop.</p>
<p> 8.  A trip to your local scrapbooking store to see all the new products can also inspire you to start creating scrapbooking pages.  </p>
<p> 9. Stop trying to be perfect. Thinking every page you create must be a work of art only stops you before you ever get started.  Give yourself permission to make a less than perfect page layout. </p>
<p> 10.  Scale down your <a target="_blank" href="http://www.intoscrapbooking.com/scrapstore/">scrapbooking supplies</a>.  Give away or sell some of your stash and cure supply overload. </p>
<p> 11.  Don&#8217;t try to take on too much.  Are you trying to create a whole album in one night?  Try to scrapbook just one page at a time.  </p>
<p> 12.  Join a scrapbooking community online challenge.  You can find these on message boards and forums.  Competing with others may jump start your motivation.</p>
<p> 13.  Join the digital scrapbooking craze.  It&#8217;s a lot less messy than traditional scrapbooking.</p>
<p> 14.  Join a scrapbooking community online and read their message boards and forums. Most of these communities have galleries where members upload their scrapbooking pages for others to see and make comments.  </p>
<p> 15.  Let others see your scrapbooks.  Show your pages to your friends and family.  Seeing how others react to your albums can motivate you to create more albums.  </p>
<p> Just a few of these <a target="_blank" href="http:///www.intoscrapbooking.com">scrapbooking ideas</a> will chase your scrapbooking burnout away.</p>
