Blog of the Week:


Amy Coon: "I use my blog as a personal journal of my paperlife for others to read what I am doing or creating at the moment. I have a passion for this hobby and want to share my love for it through my blog. I think everyone should have their own "paperlives" that they nurture, create, and celebrate and my blog helps me to do just that."

It’s officially fall and time to start thinking about what to wear for Halloween. Since this is my favorite “holiday”, I love to decorate, plan parties and of course come up with an elaborate costume. Maybe you could use a few ideas for your own celebrations, if so, you’ve come to the right place. Our October issue is filled with spooky goodness that won’t scare your wallet. For inspiration from invitations to table decorations, check out our video demo for step-by-step directions on how to be the craftiest hostess on the block! Aymee Gandy, Leslie Prinkki and Suzanne Sergi round out the party planning committee and our theme ladies of the layouts can be found right here.

  Tip of the Week

   Featured Product

Layout Contest 

product contest

"Pumpkin Patches are the perfect location for photos. Being outside, all the colors, the children running and laughing and, of course, the bright orange pumpkins. Don't forget to check that your film speed is made for sunshiny days."

Adornit Wood Storybooks from Carolee's Creations are extra-large scrapbook albums cut out of 1/8" wood and include a matching paper die cut and four page protectors. These albums can be uniquely decorated and are perfect for holiday gift giving.

The time of year has come when we’re reminded to look around and think about all of the things we’re grateful for. Take this opportunity to scrap the blessings of your life and share them with Scrapbooking.com Magazine readers. Click here for how to enter. . .

"Halloween is a holiday that I love, but at the same time seem to have a very hard time scrapping. This usually stems from loving all of the very cool Halloween themed products out there, but having kids who pick costumes that just don't 'go'. My solution for this layout was to focus on my son’s fascination with the glowing Jack-o'-Lantern. It reflects the feeling of Halloween, without focusing on the costumes. Best of all, it only took about 5 minutes!"

Survivor Crop 2009
Article 2 image

"Did you know that one in seven women are affected by breast cancer? Every three minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Look around the coffee shop you’re in tomorrow morning and figure that statistic out for yourself. Don’t want to keep hoping for a cure? Then do something for the good of your fellow human beings and get involved in finding the cure! A super fun way to do just that is to join Ever After Scrapbook’s SURVIVOR CROP 2009 taking place on October 17-18, 2009."
