craftgrrl | Huge lack of creativity (Reply)

I was just wondering if anyone felt like I do.. I feel like i'm supposed to be an artist but am not. I have all of this creative energy and the want to make all these different things, and I feel that something is just stopping me. For example, I really want to make a scrapbook for my boyfriend for our 2 year anniversary but I feel like it won't come out nice so I'm holding off on it. I see all of these other projects that are beautifully illustrated and decorated and I know whatever I do won't be as good, but I feel like it should be. In the past I've made soap, chocolate lollipops, photo albums, collages, photo frames, and more but these were all projects that came with instructions. I can do anything as long as instructions are involved but I feel that I should just have my own visions in my head of what to do sometimes.

I've basically felt like this my whole life, so am I going to just continue to feel like this or is there some way I can move past this? I know I'll never be able to draw or become an artist because I don't think that's something that can be learned, but I have to be able to improve somehow right?
