I'm going to make this post a bit more personal.
While my discovery of the online scrapbooking world has generally been a good thing, there is one really big downside--now I have an audience, and can end up basing my work on what other people think.
This has highs and lows--there's something amazing about seeing all those happy comments for your layout. But I just posted 3 layouts and there has been no response--not one--and it sucks. And while I get that in the end I have the pages and I have to like them, it doesn't always make me feel better.
I'll try to update later today (after I've baked challah, mini apple pies, and cooked a lot of other stuff:) ) when I'm sure I'll be in a better mood.
Meanwhile, any thoughts about navigating your own style + the industry?
Hey! Just found your blog through SC.
ReplyDeleteIt is totally easy to get wound up in what people think of your work. I used to get really concerned with the number of comments I got and how many people "knew" my stuff. But when it comes down to it, in 20 years, you won't remember the comments people left, you'll have a collection of awesome pages to remember your life by.
Just keep scrapping for you. If you haven't found your "style," just give it some time - it'll come when you least expect it.
As far as the industry goes...sheesh, we could talk for hours on that ;)
Thanks for this reminder, Stephanie--I need to remind myself sometimes that I have love it and that's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteWhenever you want to talk about the industry, I'm game:)
