Funny this topic comes up. Just this weekend I'm scrapping a scrappy. Had so many fabric going on that it completely obliterated the star pattern. Not enough uniformity in the background fabric. Figured I'm out about 12 hours of my time but nothing in materials. It's all in a zip lock bag and if I don't use it in a year's time, out it goes. First time in 30+ I've completely bailed on a project. Life is too short to hate what you're doing. I do that enough for 40 hours at my job!
