    You're page isn't working out exactly the way you planned? Do you scrap it (excuse the pun) and start again, or do you work with it the way it is and just change your game plan?

    I usually keep going and just modify my original idea. In the end, I'm usually happy with it but not always.

    I usuallly put it aside for a little while. Seems like when I come back to it I have a new perspective and I can make it work.

    I seldom trash a piece of work. I usually set it aside on my table so I can continue to see and think about it. When I come up with another idea, I give it a try. Sometimes there are layouts that I'm not happy with but put them in the book anyway.

    I either take apart what I can (I like to use repositional adhesive) and/or put it on the side for a while and try again later

    I usually show it to someone, usually my DH, and he usually likes it way better than I do. Then, I start to see it with new eyes, feel better about it, and sometimes they even have a suggestion to solve the thing I don't like. As in, "maybe take off that thing" or "try adding some blue" or whatever. If I really don't like it, I just try to finish it as fast as possible and get it put away in the album so I don't have to look at it any more.

    I usually keep working it and even if I end up with it not being a favorite page, I know that it is a page done.
