Posted by Nick Niesen on November 1st, 2010

Are you an avid scrapper always looking for new scrapbooking ideas? Are you bored with your current layout ideas and you need some serious inspiration to make the next book and the next page look better than the rest? This is something that a lot of individuals who are into scrapbooking struggle with from time to time. It?s easy when scrapping to fall into a rut and continue to use the same layouts and decorative touches over and over again. If you need a bit of inspiration you can find it in a variety of places including the library, the bookstore, scrapping classes, and even on the Internet.

There are a lot of scrapbooking ideas out there that can help you change things up a bit. Perhaps you just need some new layout ideas, or you need to start using stamps, stickers, colored pens, templates, colored paper, or fun scissors. A lot of the time you can just visit your local scrapbooking store and you?ll come up with some new methods that will change your approach to scrapping altogether. Just one little change in method can make scrapping fun for you again or at least make your books more interesting to look at!

The Internet is a great place to look for new methods to employ when you are scrapping, but you have to keep skill level in mind. If you are just starting out, you need to be careful that you build your skills slowly and that you do not try to jump ahead or you may get frustrated. A lot of the direction you will find on the Internet is geared toward those with more experience, so it can be difficult to discover good tips online if you are a beginner. Scrapbooking ideas are a dime a dozen, you just have to be sure that you keep in line with your skill level and simply try new things when you have mastered other methods. Remember to have fun with it, and not to be too rigid or hard on yourself, as you may find that you are naturally good at some designs while not so great at others in the beginning.
