Find Inspiration for Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking inspiration doesn’t have to be a revelation or a light that comes on inside your mind. There is inspiration all around you, and ways to capture prompts to help you creative scrapbooking juices flow when you do sit down to scrap.

  • Keep a notebook - Make it part of your daily routine to write down one thing during your day that happened which could trigger inspiration for you later.
  • Take lots of pictures of lots of things - Pictures can be a great inspiration later on.
  • Play music - Sound is a great inspiration sparker.
  • Read updated media - Browse scrapbook magazines, trade news, blogs, hobby sites, any media you can grab that’s fresh.
  • People watch - the tiniest thing can inspire you do something with a color scheme or pattern.
  • Reminisce - Past memories can inspire journaling, stored away keepsakes might be used for layout embellishments.
  • Art. Don’t worry about understanding it or interpreting it, just look at it and think whatever you think.

Inspiration for scrapbooking is everywhere you look. You are really only limited by your own imagination. ;)
