Examples of scrapbook page templates/odeas

[Hulababy]

Where can I get ideas from?

Having seen what others have been up to witht heir scrapbooking, I'd like to give it a go. I have already collected together a few bits and pieces, and I get some more stuff for my birthday at the weekend. I also recieved a big pack of my photos for this first project.

I am not that artistic so for the first few ages, would love to have some ideas of where to start and how to get going.

I have a couple of things, and a magazine, that includes some ideas for pages but not much.

Are there some good websites out there with examples and ideas of what others have done or of templates to use as a basis for pages?

Or if I do need to get some magazines - which are best for a beginner?

TIA!

there are loads and loads on here Hula
you will be lost amongst them for weeks!

Oooh - just remembered YG - you are bringing me a bag of goodies too aren't you? Excited even more again!!! Some magazines to borrow would be fab too

Thanks for the links - going to explore!

Hula, I use scrap-maps a lot to help me plan how to lay the photos out on the page, so that they look right!

I have found it really useful as like you, I don't think of myself as naturally creative. Now I've done a few though it is starting to flow.

If anything it is getting the right colour of card/papers to match with the photos that is taking a lot of time now. It amazes me how subtle changes of matting papers/cards and background colours really make the way the photo look so different.

Like the others I mine the gallery on UK scrappers for ideas too. I like a relatively 'clean' look - nothing to fussy, but you do eventually find some posters who have a look that you like

Check out Two Peas In A Bucket for mostly paper scrapping (which it sounds like is what you're after), or Scrapbook-Bytes for digital scrapping (although each can inspire the other).
