SPAM – A Treasure of
Scrapbooking Ideas for Scrapbookers

Y

ou look in your inbox everyday to discover an annoyance the size of a traffic jam.

What is this problem?

SPAM

For most of us there’s a quick solution. Scan the emails we want to keep, then delete the others into oblivion.

But, you may find that you’re missing out on a real “treasure”, for scrapbookers, lurking inside some of those SPAM messages.

Now, don’t get me wrong.

I am definitely NOT telling you to open up every SPAM email you get, just so you can see the ads you have been missing.

But, I am suggesting that you find ways to check some of them out…

   …whether that’s at your work email, at your spouse’s email, or through a friend’s work email

– ANYWHERE.

Hear me out – and I’ll show you some examples a little later …

Here are 9 Surprising Reasons Scrapbookers should use SPAM for Scrapbook Ideas .

Here they are and why you should care:

1. Color ideas and inspirations
There are so many different color options out there. This is a great way to gather new ideas on color, and using colors together

.

2. Huge Variety of Scrapbook Layout Ideas
You have your choice of Landscape or Portrait orientations. These can be easily changed to match your album needs and your layout ideas. Copy and use these advertising layout ideas to your hearts content.
There is enough variety to conceive lots of layouts. You will be inspired to create small layout elements or whole layout designs.

3. Scrapbook Sketch Templates
You will discover that there are TONS of scrapbook sketches you can get from SPAM ads. Have your pick of multi-photo sketches, no photos at all, simple catalog styles, and complex layered designs to sketch..

4. Shape and Theme Design Inspirations
One of the great things about advertisements is seeing the mountains of creative shapes, themes, and motions that the designers use. This, by far, could be one of the best new design aspects you bring into your scrapbooking layouts.

5. Different Photo Size Options to Use in Your Scrapbooking Layouts
Although somewhat advanced, enlarging and cropping your photos is a fantastic way to spice up your designs. Ads give tons of ideas for resizing photos, laying them out in new ways, and cropping them to complement your layouts.

6. They’re free
Free is a FANTASTIC price for great scrapbook layout ideas.
Unlike scrapbook idea books, advertisements don’t cost $10-$30. Fortunately, for all of us (or maybe unfortunately), you will be seeing them even if you don’t want to. This is a classic case of taking lemons, and turning them into lemonade.

7. They’re Everywhere –
Just like Elvis, ads are everywhere. So you shouldn’t have any problems finding new, creative advertisements for scrapbooking inspiration. Your biggest problem is going to be shutting off the flow of scrapbook ideas you DO get from ads. But, that can be a good problem to have. Right?

8. Lots of Scrapbook Journaling Ideas
You are about to discover thousands of scrapbooking journaling ideas and layout examples. You will also catch a vision for booklet and hidden journaling ideas and options.

9. Advanced Scrapbooking Techniques
Although you won’t actually learn new techniques, you will see new uses and ideas for advanced scrapbook ideas. That includes paint backgrounds, photo resizing digitally and at a processor, hand cut titles, and photo background trimming, to name a few.
