Hey,
I've been doing it for years, though not having as much free time I've been doing a lot more cardmaking and smaller pieces using everything I've learnt.

So much fun.

I find it really hard to think of ideas for layouts, I have looked at some sites www.scrapbook.com, but i seem to not have a very creative mind so i get stuck and fairly fustrated

It doesn't seem to be a very big craft here in Ireland???

I think it's popular enough, my mother and aunt used to attend small workshops - they'd bring a photo based on a theme - say flowers and then they'd be given tips for laying out items.

I've gotten a few books and magazines (when they've been on sale) they're pretty good for giving you ideas on different layouts - like working with circles, splitting photo's into segments.

Do you have something particular you want to put together? I might be able to help with ideas.

I meet with a scrapbooking group once a month in dublin. They also meet another night a month but I dont personally always make it to that one.

I can highly recommmend checking out scrapbooking.ie - you will find details of crops and the shop is great.
