Scrapbooking has evolved from basic pages with few embellishments and many photos to elaborate pages full of die cuts, stickers, flowers, metal, and more. Sometimes it’s difficult to create the perfect layout for your photos. In the scrapbooking community, using other’s work for inspiration is generally well accepted.
Page sketches are a fun way to get an idea and still be creative. They are black and white drawings of a layout with the placement for photos and embellishments. You can alter the layout, of course, but it gives a good starting point for your page.
Many scrapbooking sites have gallerys where members upload their scrapbooking pages for others to see. These galleries are normally separated by theme, technique, or embellishment used. This is a wonderful way to get inspiration for your own scrapbooking. As time 
allows, search through the gallery and save photos of layouts you like. Then when you are ready to scrapbook you can look at the layouts and use them for inspiration.
Ads from magazines are a great source for scrapbooking layout ideas. Ads use the latest fashionable color trends and can give a composition to use for your scrapbook page. You will have to modify it to fit your photos, but it can be a good starting point.
When scrapbooking, having the most beautiful or more elaborate page isn’t what’s important. Having fun and preserving memories are the most important reasons to scrapbook. Sometimes coming up with a layout idea for a certain photo or theme is difficult, so these ideas for inspiration can really help you overcome your artist’s block.
Great tips and ideas, I love scrapbooking but ideas sometimes come slow.
