41-50: Stinkin' Thinkin' Level- 5 of 5 Uh-oh, you're scoring at the top of the "stinkin' thinkin'" scale, but you have some options!
In general, a score at this level indicates that you fit one or more of these descriptions:
to you, the 3 Lies are not lies but dearly loved truth.
you are influenced heavily by all 3 of the Scrapbooking Lies, and they are informing all of your decisions regarding your photos.
you are someone who loves the crafty, artsy approach to scrapbooking and may even take photos just so you can decorate pages around them! Craft-driven scrapbooking soothes your soul, and it's okay that you don't have much writing, if any, on your pages.
you do your scrapbooks for you. Doesn't really matter if anyone else is interested in them!
you wouldn't dream of putting your own handwriting in your albums or would put the least amount possible on your pages, if you did write... your handwriting would ruin the look of the pages.
short captions are just right for your album pages.
writing stories could impact your decorative options by taking up valuable real estate on your pages.
you'd actually like to have your family be more interested in your finished pages on an ongoing basis but the thought of taking time to add the stories after spending so much time decorating the pages... just too much to even think about.
you are a former active crafty scrapbooker who doesn't do it anymore for lack of time... if you don't have time to decorate pages, why bother?
you are someone who would like to do something with your photos/digital images, but, because of your beliefs, you can't even get started.
the thought of using your photos as a tool in your parenting/relationships is intriguing, but how would you ever have time for all of the page decorating you'd need to do to do it right?!
If numbers 2 through 7 describe you, you aren't buying into the 3 Lies, because they are truly the definition of scrapbooking for YOU. Run free and continue your craft-driven scrapbooking process.Yet, and I'll say this as gently as I can, while you feel heart-full as you are creating your pages, without enough words and stories to give your photos/pages context and allow your pages to come alive independent of you standing right there telling the viewer about them, your pages are ART, and are missing the ability to tap into the untapped advantages they could be for the people you love.
If numbers 8 through 11 describe you, your photos are being held hostage by false thoughts/beliefs based on the 3 Lies, and you are missing the perk of tapping into so many advantages your photos/stories could be for you with those whom you love. You have bought into the scrapbook market brainwashing! You believe that you must make your pages/albums works of art, therefore overwhelming you with time demands and dramatically limiting the amount of HEART you have in your albums and the advantages they can give you.You'd probably be VERY surprised to hear that your photos have superpowers and can make a huge impact on the people you care about just by adding words.
If:
your desire to create art projects is keeping you from getting the photos you care about into albums,
you'd like to have more stories on your pages but there's just no time,
there's little ongoing interest in your albums from your family,
you'd like to break free of the shackles scrapbook brainwashing has on you,
Your Stinkin' Thinkin' Prognosis: You have 2 choices: if you are genuinely happy with your process and results, I wish you much joy and happiness, OR, if you'd like to continue your emphasis on craft-driven scrapbooking but would like to know how to get more story into your books, I can help!
