creating keepsakes has a new special issue out. have you seen it? 101+ creative ways to use your scrapbook supplies.

Cover101 

101 creative ways to use your scrapbook supplies, by jennifer mcquire, is an all time favorite idea book of mine. it's actually one that still sits in my pile of magazines, on the end table in the family room. even though it came out years ago. so i was very excited to hear that there was another take on this coming out. and that book is 101+ creative ways to use your scrapbook supplies, featuring the amazingly talented jennifer, along with a team of contributing designers.

this book is full of ideas for all those supplies you already have on hand. fun techniques for using our products in new ways. ideas for using our scraps and leftovers. creative ways to give products a whole new look. tons of ideas to make the most of the products we have and love.

    My favorite product lately has to be patterned paper…I have been using less and less embellishments, because the patterned papers are so great on their own!

    Seriously, I love everything that you and Jennifer make so I’d totally use this book if I won it. Thanks for the opportunity!
    If I had to choose a favorite item, it would have to be ribbon, no it’s buttons, no it’s chipboard, no it’s brads. Oh heck, who am I kidding? I love them all. No embellishment discrimination in this scrapper’s house!
