Okay, I'm a brand new scrapbooker working through my first scrapbook for my son. I'm doing the "Waiting for Jonah" book which will chronicle the time between referral and bringing him home. It includes all of his reports, pictures each month, pictures from our visit and pickup trip and a timeline of our whole process.
My question is about general scrapbooking. I love to look at mags and books on techniques, but sometimes I'm overwhemled by the sheer "busyness" of a page. I think embellishments are wonderful, but I find myself making very simple pages that are focused mostly on the photos/journal. Is it because I'm scared to try more difficult things, or just because I'm most focused on the story/photos?
Insight?
