Starting Points: Creating Meaningful Scrapbook Layouts from Whatever Inspires You

Scrapbooking can be more than just a way of recording memories and family history. It can also be a creative outlet. Reasons for creating a page vary greatly - it can be inspired by a vacation photo, something a child said, new embellishments from the scrapbook store, or the pattern on a paper plate. In Starting Points, Linda Harrison explains that most scrapbook pages are a result of four basic starting points: photos, words, products and other inspirations. She teaches readers to recognize what inspires them to create a page as well as how to make a meaningful and attractive page from that starting point. Accompanying inspiration is shown with each layout so that readers can understand and apply the creative thinking process to their own pages.
