Scrapbook Layout Ideas - Finding Your Muse

[freda tilly]

Every scrapbooker has one of those days now and again when it's
impossible to create a decent page. As hard as you try, you can't get
the pictures to look good on the page. Another situation is finding
yourself in a rut. If every page starts looking then same, its time to
take a break and get over your scrapbooker's block'find some new
inspiration.
Inspiration for scrapbook layout ideas is all around in the world.
Turn on the television to check out your favorite celebrity's latest
fashion, and this may lead to a new color scheme for one of your
pages. Read a magazine and you may see a cute way of placing
photographs and text on the page together. Billboards, advertisements,
movie posters, and simply the scenes of your neighborhood can all
become sources of inspiration if you look at the world with a
scrapbooking eye.
Pictures are not the only things that can inspire a new page
idea'words have a way of working themselves into your pages as well. A
funny or moving quote can be used on a page as an embellishment, or
perhaps a catchy phrase can become the theme and title of your layout.
In any case, you may just need a break from the visual arts for
awhile. Some of my best page ideas come to me when I'm doing something
totally unrelated to scrapbook layout design, such as reading. Take a
break and walk away from your scrapbooking space. Perhaps a simple the
change of scenery will motivate you to get back into the groove of
creating original pages....
