Scrapbook Layout Ideas  Getting Started   by Sheryl Sabinski I'm guessing since you are reading this that you've drawn a creative blank and are looking for some creative scrapbook layout ideas? I have been scrapbooking for over 20 years so I know how it feels to look down at an empty sheet for an hour and come up with nothing. Sometimes all it takes is a little push in the right direction. Try some of these tips and ideas. Where Do I Get My Scrapbook Layout Ideas? For some of the best scrapbook layout ideas, I've found Google to be a HUGE help! The simplest way to see creative ideas is to go to google.com, type in "Scrapbook Layout Ideas" and click Images link at the top left side of the page. Last time I did this, I found hundreds of interesting layouts that helped get me started on my own designs. I've found when I'm stuck (writers block? no, scrapbookers block) sometimes I just need to see a few other ideas to get me moving in my own direction. Instead of looking at scrapbook images as previously mentioned, doing a Google search on "Scrapbook Layout Ideas" can also turn up some pretty interesting and fun websites. Thankfully there are tons of people out there with a similar interest and have created some fantastic websites with tons of ideas to share with you. Join a group. If you live in a decent size city there's a good chance that there are a few hobby groups that get together once or more times a month. A good place to find out if there is a group in your city is to go to a local craft store and inquire there. Quite often the groups are held or sponsored by big craft stores like Michael's. Lastly, one other great source for layout ideas is Ezine Articles. Since you are reading this article, Ezine has already proved to you that they are a great source for ideas and information, and on many subjects. Scrapbooking Tips Don't be afraid to try new things. I've found after years of scrapbooking that I have gone through waves of different styles, and you can almost guess what year I did certain scrapbooks by how similar they look. Sometimes it helps to take your scrapbook templates and either throw them away or put them away in a drawer and forget about them for a while. If you find you usually start a page with placing a picture squarely in the top left corner, try starting at the bottom of the page and see where this leads you. Don't be afraid of colors. Some of the coolest scrapbook pages I've seen had strong or bold colors that livened it up. Most importantly, have fun! What good is a hobby if it stresses you out. About the Author Sheryl has been scrapbooking for over 20 years and often blogs her ideas on her Scrapbook Layout Ideas website. Her recent scrapbooking passion has been Wedding Scrapbook Ideas.
