If you’re like many of us you may have found yourself struggling to find ideas for your next scrapbook. You may even be a bit frustrated because you just can’t come up with a really fresh idea.

There are many sources you can look to for that brilliant new idea for your new scrapbook. Some you may have already heard of and others you may be totally unaware of.

The most common source for hobby information is probably magazines and books. Just about every hobby out there has its own magazines and books.

There are also newsletters published for hobbies and hobbyists. In the era of the internet resources are abundant and just a click away. A simple search of the World Wide Web can return you an endless list from which you can draw inspiration.

One of the most popular gathering places for people on the internet today is the forum. There are forums, also known as chat boards or message boards, for just about every subject and some of the most visited are for hobbies.

A forum is set up for users to post messages and receive responses from other users, a great way to exchange ideas. Many forums even allow pictures or other digital images to be posted as well.

Another source for ideas is the newsletters I mentioned earlier. Newsletters now come via e-mail from many web sites. Sites that produce newsletters often ask you to register as a member or provide your e-mail address to sign up to receive their newsletter.

Generally they’re loaded with tips and tricks, hot topics, sales specials and much more.

Many of the web sites that sell scrapbooking supplies also have pre-made layouts available on their sites that you can browse through for ideas or purchase and use.
