I just got my latest issue of Scrapbooks Etc. I love this magazine! My favorite designers in it are Jamie Waters and Shannon Tidwell. As soon as my issue arrives I quickly scan it for any layouts by the two of them. I also receive Creating Keepsakes and Paper Crafts. I also used to subscribe to Simple Scrapbooks, but they stopped publishing it a few months ago. So sad.I can't believe how much I love this hobby and how quickly it has grown. Back in 2000 I was looking for ideas for Christmas gifts and figured I'd make something. I've always enjoyed crafts and thought handmade gifts were generally less expensive than store bought gifts. Plus, with kids now I thought everyone would love something that had photos of my kids all over them. I headed over to Michael's, bought some mini albums and proceeded to make scrapbooks for the grandparents. I was hooked! Flash forward to 2009 and I subcribe to all of the scrapbook magazines I know about, I currently receive the monthly kit from Studio Calico and my entire desk is packed with scrapbook supplies (as well as the cabinet under the t.v.)
Scrapbooking is so great because it gives me a creative outlet plus helps me record all of these great stories for my children that I wouldn't have otherwise. Does it get any better than that?
