Scrapbooking beginner

[evansmummy]

Can anyone recommend a good book to get me started? One with lots of ideas and examples. I'm desparate to give it a go, but really don't know where to start. I've looked at some of the websites that were linked from here a while ago, but would like something concrete. Does anyone have links to examples of their own stuff, btw?

There are few that scrapbook here and Im a newbie to it.
Have you had a look here?

All I will say is JM for a newbie, your pages don't look like it. Your pages are lovely and extremely professional looking. I think you have to have a bit of an arty streak for scrapbooking though. I am capable of making something that I have seen somewhere else but struggle to come up with ideas that are original. Funnily enough when I come up with something original, I look through a card site or shop and it's already been done. Only so many things you can put on a card I spose.

IMHO, books are not a particularly good investment - you can get so much more for free on the internet ! One of my LOs is here .

Thank you for the compliments - can I just say that you have excellent taste?

I think he's gorgeous enough to eat, but I think I might be slightly biased!

I forgot to say that the journalling is in the pocket and you pull it out by the tab.

Have you got anymore to show us??
Im always looking for some much needed inspiration and it might help evansmummy with some ideas?
