There is one surety in scrapbooking and that is the need for inspiration. In this industry there is no shortage of ideas. Not only are there wonderful idea books and websites, but there are some great magazines too.
There are five scrapbooking magazines currently on the market. Each has its own style and information. Following is a brief description of each one and what they can offer you. Be sure to check out each one. "Creating Keepsakes" is considered the "bible" of scrapbookers. It was one of the first magazines on the scrapbooking scene. It has become such a success that the founding editor, Lisa Bearnson, now sells scrapbooking supplies on QVC. It has also spawned a sister publication (more on that one later). This magazine is loaded with layouts and articles. It's good for a beginner, but better for the advanced scrapbooker. A lot of the layouts are very complicated. Some of its past themes/articles dealt with baby pictures, Mother's Day and design tips for better layouts. "Creating Keepsakes" is published 12 times a year and subscription rate is $24.97 for a year. Their website is www.creatingkeepsakes.com. "Simple Scrapbooks" is the sister publication to "Creating Keepsakes." It's the newest scrapbooking magazine on the market. This magazine is excellent for the beginner because it focuses on simple layouts. The advanced scrapbooker can find the layouts inspirational as well.
