There are some helpful books and magazines available to help those artistic juices to begin to flow. The following are a few books and magazines that assist me when I'm in a mental block.
A must have book for all scrapbookers is Becky Higgins Creative Sketches. It is jam-packed with layout sketches and ideas to explain them. It is organized by amount of photos you want to use so it's really easy to navigate through. I use this so frequently that the pages are beginning to fall apart! You may simply use the sketches and layouts as inspiration or you can copy them exactly.
Creating Keepsakes Magazine is a great magazine for the intermediate to advanced scrapper. It focuses on several different techniques and has lots of articles to inspire you. It also features a lot of layouts from other scrappers all around the world. It concentrates on extravagant layouts.
If you are a beginner or you just want to create simpler layouts Simple Scrapbooks Magazine would be perfect for you. It has the same structure as Creating Keepsakes for they are sister magazines. It has layouts and articles in it. It also has ideas for miniature albums.
Many helpful and creative ideas can be found in the media. Every book or magazine provides different ideas. In order to find a book you would really use often, you have to look at your own techniques and determine what your focus is.
