How To Get Great New Ideas For Your Scrapbook Layouts
Today is just one of those days where I just can’t get focused on my scrapbook project. Do you ever have days that you just want to sit back and take a look at the scrapbooks that other people have created? Looking at the scrapbook layouts created by others just seems to help me get more creative. I guess you could call it scrappers block for a writer, they call it writers block. Some times I will try to think of a creative new layout and I just find myself moving things all over the paper and I don’t like anything that I come up with. Today was one of those days for me. I just could not find a layout that I was happy with and I was ready to just give up and work on something else. I felt like giving up for the day and putting everything away.
You may already know how to search Google images but I will tell you how just in case you have never tried this option. If you want to look at scrapbook pages and different scrapbook layouts from all over the World, you can do this directly from Google. Just go to the Google search page and enter Scrapbook Layouts or just Scrapbook. You may even want to enter the type of scrapbook layout you are searching for such as Spring Scrapbook Page. After you enter your search, click on the link at the top of the page that says images. Google will return images of scrapbook pages or layouts that are similar to what you are searching in thumbnail size images. When you have found a layout that looks good to you, simply click on the image and you will open up the full size image. There are also options to search for small, medium and large images. When I search, I always look for medium or large images because this usually pulls the best quality pictures.
The search page for Google also has a link that says Videos. This link is at the top of the Google search page as well. After searching for Scrapbook Events, you will find many videos that will provide you with scrapbook tips and tricks. Today while I was searching for layout ideas on Google, I clicked on the Video link. I found a video that took me to a website that lists Scrapbook Events from all over the country and I thought that I would share this with you on my blog. The site is Scrapbook Crops and they allow you to post events at no charge. I found a scrapbook weekend retreat that is only a couple of hours from my home. I talked to some of my girlfriends and we are going to register if the event is not sold out. Since I am not working on my scrapbook right now, I thought I would share with you on my blog. With this site being free, I expect to find many scrapbook events posted. So, if you know of an event in your area, you can post the event even if you are not the organizer of the event.
Well it is just about time for me to leave to pick up the kids from school. If I have time, I will give you an update tomorrow and I will definitely let you know how the retreat goes.
