Is "Simple" what you want?
I posted this Scrapbooking layout in my gallery at UK Scrappers a while ago (I am a team member there).
It is an incredibly simple layout designed for use at a workshop for complete beginners.
As a member of UK Scrappers, I am able to see (due to some site changes, not all of which are welcome!!) who has left a comment and/or who has added any of my Layouts to their "favourites" folder on their profile.
I have to say that this layout is rapidly becoming the most "saved in favourites" by far! Over and above all those layouts I have slaved over for hours!
Is it the cute photo of Inde perhaps?
Is it that we look at this Layout and say to ourselves "I can do that!" ?
Or is it that we are all crying out for a little simplicity in our Scrapbooking?
I am actually hoping it is the latter because it will mean that my next ebook - Easy Scrapbooking for Beginners - will be welcomed by those looking for that simplicity.
This is another reason why I have set up SimplyScrapbookingNow.com... to Keep it Simple.
I have seen too many ticking, flashing and wurring websites that shout at you and confuse the eyeballs! Do you stay on sites like that? I don't, I can't be bothered! I'd like to think that my website and newsletter will become welcome symbols of calm and serenity... a Scrapbooking Oasis in a world wide web of noise and dazzling colours.

Hi sunday, I've just signed up for the newsletter too. And in answer to your question, Yes, simple is what I prefer - I see scrapbooking as a creative way to save my photos with journalling that will mean something in the future, it doesn't need too much embellishment, sometimes too much can take away from the memory??
I too am looking forward to your monthly newsletter, and will keep an eye on your blog, as I always do.
Regards,
Dawn
Thanks Dawn, I certainly want to keep things simple, as I think a lot of people feel like you! (and me) Many are too overwhelmed with all the stuff out there!
