I read too many scrapbooking books in a row! I liked this one because it had a great section on scrapbooking a memory when you don't have a photo! This is something that I know people struggle with and I have some great ideas about. Eventually I would like to do a video or blog about this so it was interesting to this in a book.

This book (though a little dated) has so many fabulous ideas and tips to make an amazing scrapbook.
If you do physical scrapbooking, this book will have ideas you can use.
My favourite pages were the 100 creative journaling ideas pages.
My recommendation is to head down to your local library and borrow a copy. You will be inspired and may just have to buy yourself a copy as well.

This is a book filled with articles, tips, tricks and ideas from past magazines, probably from 2006-2009. Nice to go back and look at these ideas, but I am glad I was able to borrow it from the library.

This would be a great one to add to the resource library.

I thought it was going to be packed with a lot of useful tips and stocked with layouts I could have gotten ideas from, but I only got a couple tips here and there from it. Dissappointing.
