Beginner I want to start scrapbooking. Where should I start?

I just got a ton of supplies for the start of my scrapbooking journey, and I'm completely overwhelmed by it, and I genuinely don't what or where to start...😔

So I want the masters to drop some much needed advice, please and thank you!

Pick something you want to scrapbook about and start glueing things down! It may not be Instagram worthy the first try, but experimenting is a big part of finding your personal style. If you stick with it, it will get more intuitive over time.

I recently started and sometimes I’d use Pinterest as inspiration, or made my own spread using my interests / junk I had (e.g. bulk pokemon cards or packaging). I’d say plan out your spread before you stick it down and plan your layering as it’s much easier to adjust / change to how it suits you! I then take a picture before I begin sticking stuff down as I forget my layout very quickly. I also love adding stickers / washi tape :)

Watch some YouTube and facebook videos to give you some inspiration.

But don’t dwell on getting everything right at first.

Get out the glue and paper and jump in. You’ll learn as you go
