But I run out of ideas after a while...... It seems like I do the same basic layout all the time, just with different photos, embellishments and journaling....I've even torn pages out of magazines trying to help, but I never seem to have the stuff needed to do the page I find!! DRATS!

I know how you feel! Whenever I get into a rut I go find an OLD magazine rather than a new one. Sometimes seeing a layout that doesn't use all the latest and greatest products can spark some creativity. Also, try finding pages that show the "sketch"-Scrapbooks, Etc is a great magazine for this. That way you aren't distracted by the products, and you can just focus on the shape of the page. Another great way of getting out of a rut is to have a friend look at your pictures and do a basic layout for you. Even if you don't use their layout, it's a great way to get a new perspective on your work. Hope this helps and good luck!

As a suggestion, I have heard that when you start to "catch up" on your scrapbooking start with the most recent pictures first. They are the most fresh in your mind & then you can go back & get the older ones as time allows :)

I have Cherish and my friends have the other books...they are life savers!!! Even if you don't copy the whole layout, I like to use them as springboards and adapt the rest of the page to my taste or whatever materials I have. My fave of the three though is the original book, Cherish!
