It happens to every scrapbooker. No matter how long you've been scrapbooking, you're going to face scrapbooking burnout at some time. There can be so many reasons for it. Maybe you just can't decide what papers to use or which embellishments. Here are a few tips to help you overcome your scrapbooking burnout.

1. Learning a new scrapbooking technique can cure your burnout. Just try a new technique on one page layout today.

2. Don'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.

3. Give yourself permission to throw out poor quality photographs. Your backlog will start to shrink and just looking through your photos may inspire you.

4. Go through and organize your scrapbooking supplies. Can you use your materials in a new way? Or can you create new color combinations?

5. Flip through scrapbooking magazines for inspiration. They are filled with great page ideas, techniques to try and information on the latest products.

6. Sign up for a scrapbooking class. The excitement of a class is a terrific boost to motivate you to get more pages done.

7. Plan a scrapbooking crop for your friends. If you don't want to plan one yourself, attend a crop at your local scrapbooking store.

8. A trip to your local scrapbooking store to see all the new products can also inspire you to start creating scrapbooking pages.

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.

10. Scale down your scrapbooking supplies. Give away or sell some of your stash and cure supply overload.

11. Try it page by page. Don't set a goal of creating a scrapbooking album a night.

13. Try digital scrapbooking. Learning how to creative scrapbook albums on your computer can be inspiring.

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.
