In the scrapbooking world, they have what they call a 'scraplift' which is when you copy someone else's layout as much or as little as you'd like. I think this would be a good way for you to get your feet wet and to learn how to scrap. Choose someone in the gallery whose work you admire, and go for it! You can find hundreds of elements for free in our Elements gallery, so be sure to check there for duplicate or close-to-it elements to use in your scraplift.
While it's not necessary just for posting purposes, it's always nice to let the person you're scraplifting know that you have chosen to do so. Almost everyone is flattered by the compliment.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
