I need DETAILED help with scrapbooking please! Beginner with all the supplies just no creativity!?
I have never made a scrapbook before but I really want to start. I am very much a perfectionist so I am having some trouble. 
I want to start with a trip to Las Vegas. My husband and I went on vacation there. We took lots of pictures (I think I have it narrowed down to the ones I will use) and I have tickets, and some other random things (like a napkin and receipt from the restaurant we had our anniversary dinner at).
I have bought some plain paper and lots of paper that is Las Vegas and gambling themed. Lots of stickers and embellishments......just NO idea how to go from here! How should I use the themed paper with my pictures and such?
If anyone could help I would appreciate it! I wish I was more creative!
If anyone has some example pages they used with themed paper that would help too! Thanks!
I like to use what I call "recipe" books. These are how-to books that walk you through step by step, how many different papers to use, how to cut them, and how to assemble the page. The ones I use have sketches at the beginning that show each layout in outline, with the number of photos to use on each page. I see how many photos of a particular theme I want to put on a page, and pick the layout that goes with that number. Easy, peasy!
Scrapbooking can be overwhelming at first, but it's also addicting, and you will be a pro in no time. Check out my blog for examples and where you can get a how-to book. www.JenScraps.wordpress.com
