If you are new to scrapbooking you can get a lot of creative scrapbooking ideas online, many of which are free. An important thing to remember is that most scrapbooks are built around photographs. Before you attempt to figure out the layout of your entire scrapbook you will want to choose which pictures you will feature in the book. Once you do this, you can choose the paper, layout, and embellishments that you want to use to dress up your project.
