I feel like I am hitting a brick wall. Where do you go for inspiration for layouts. I need some ideas.. I am using October Afternoon products for a project (specifically 9 to 5) and I'm now keep coming across the same thing over and over again.

I don’t make layouts but for other crafty inspo I look at YouTube and Instagram. Neither are very good for finding older stuff or more specific ideas. They’ve both made their search results more random  Pinterest seems to be another place that might have some older product and blogs, but I’m not sure if the ability to search is any better. Google search or maybe image search might be just as good unless you can find someone with OA specific boards. I could be wrong about that though! |

Pinterest.
Facebook pages of favorite companies or scrapbookers.
Mostly, though, I get my inspiration from my photos and supplies in my stash. I have no LSS to go to anymore.

I don't typically look for specific product inspiration - more sketches or layouts (to use like sketches) - so I use Google Image search and that often brings me to either blogs or Pinterest

Pinterest for layouts, YouTube for "how-to" type questions.

Instagram. I have a separate Instagram account just for scrapbook stuff- tracy_scraps
My phone is full of screen shots I take of other people's scrapbook pages. I put them in their own album but I wish there was a way to get them off of the All Photos and just in the album. They litter my feed.
I follow a bunch of people but they have to people that scrapbook in a style I like (not necessarily my style), and 98% of their content has to be photos of layouts.
I occasionally will look on the internet, or watch a YouTube, but I just find it handier to have all of my inspiration stuff in one album.

Pinterest and IG, especially Pinterest if I want a specific search, like“2 4x6s on a page”.
And I think that’s how I found a YT video of someone filming a ‘layout share’ where they flip through a huge stack of lo’s. I screenshot and refer back to them for inspiration or scrap lift.
Like art babe, I haven’t found a great way to organize those though.

I've got a hack for this if you are using an iPhone (not sure about Android). Add all the photos to a Shared Album. I create a Shared Album called Layout Inspiration, I do not share it with anyone. I add my screen shots and then I can DELETE them from my camera roll and they are still in the Shared Album!!! Game changer for me. |

I’m wondering if this is a coding glitch related to family sharing. According to this help article deleting photos deletes them from shared albums. support.apple.com/guide/iphone/add-delete-photos-videos-a-shared-album-iph10caf6f49/ios#:~:text=Anything%20that%20gets%20deleted%20isEither way cool find! I’m just wondering if it will work for those who don’t have family sharing on. |

Instagram has been my go to for awhile now. I don't search the paper line but will search for 9x12 layout and then I start to see inspiration followed by creators that I like. So then I start to follow them and will see new inspiration that I like and I save it to my saved folder on IG.
I also get inspiration from YouTube creators that I follow.

I am using October Afternoon products for a project (specifically 9 to 5) and I'm now keep coming across the same thing over and over again. Me too! I actually came here today to see if someone else had asked this question recently. I was hoping there was something, someone, some site I was missing - I follow several scrappers on YouTube and Instagram and scroll Pinterest frequently. I also look at what's Trending on Scrapbook.com and also Search their site by topic. I'm just not finding pages lately that inspire me. So maybe if there aren't other sites for inspiration, who specifically inspires you on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, etc..... ? Adding...... Once upon a time it seemed Two Peas in a Bucket was the only site I needed for inspiration..... |

They litter my feed. This was bothering me too. My "hack" for this was to create a private pinterest board and just upload all the screenshots to that and then delete them from my phone. I organized them into subfolders on pinterest too for specific types of projects. That frees up the space on your phone + camera roll, but they're still easy to access via the pinterest app. |

Using the filters on the side, they have 400 entries tagged "layouts". octoberafternoon.typepad.com/october_afternoon/ |
