If you're still scrambling for gift ideas, look no further. Handmade gifts are the most meaningful and they don't have to be challenging or time consuming. In fact simple can be fun, so don't miss our Gift Ideas and Holiday Albums articles. If neither of those float your boat, head over to the magazine for plenty of ideas from this month's issue or check the archives for a wealth of cheerful projects. Happy hunting!

 Tip of the Week Featured Product Layout Contest
tip of the week product contest

A great way to get started on a layout is to spread out all the photos for a particular layout in front of you. From there, start weeding out the not-so-good photos, the blurry shots or the ones without the best composition. Have similar shots of the same thing? Sort through them to find the best one.

Pageframe Designs is introducing a cutting edge line of clear albums. They are made from flexible acrylic which allows for holes to be punched without breaking or cracking. This material can even be embossed. The award winning Cutting Edge Clear Album has been described as "the best new product on the market in years".

Birthdays come for everyone - like it or not. Each year that passes can be commemorated through a scrapbook page. Children’s parties or quiet celebrations will make excellent topics for your next project. Submit the results here for a chance to win great prizes from top manufacturers.

 Gift Ideas
article 1

 Consider this, you can fight your way through a department store to buy a really impersonal gift or you can take a leisurely walk through a scrapbook store, buy the paper and embellishments you love, and make a personal gift for all your friends. With all of the decisions you have to make everyday, this one is a no-brainer.

 Holiday Albums
Article 2 image

One of the best parts of the holidays is the all of the photo opportunities. Even if you don’t like being in photos, you can’t resist a quick smile while the resident photo taker (my mom holds that title in our family) snaps away. With today’s technology there’s really no excuse to not share these candid family moments. Instead of just sending an email full of photos this year make mini holiday albums full of colorful paper, printed photos, and memories.
