The beauty of making things by hand is that they don't need to be perfect.    Relax and let yourself have fun.  Remember -- we aren't striving for the perfect scrapbook page, mini-book or paper craft project, but to enjoy the journey.
True enough, there are design principles that may be followed, but in truth there is no right or wrong "way" to work on your own project.   This is a hobby that can have meaning for people, resulting in a memorable finished product and personal satisfaction.  You don't have to possess great artistic skills for this hobby -- that's why we "scraplift"!
Taking the time to do something for yourself is one of the most important things you can do.  It's even therapeutic.    Enjoy it!
