I just discovered a new scrapbooking blog CropChic. Carolyn Wheeler, the Dean of The Scrapbook School had an interesting thought about scrapbooking magazines.
She says:
Is it me or has anyone else been noticing that the layouts featured on the cover of Creating Keepsakes (CK) magazine seem to becoming simpler? [read the rest of her post here]
I honestly haven’t noticed the cover of CK getting simpler because I think that pretty much all of the CK layouts are way too complicated. I much prefer the simpler layouts that get more pages done rather than spending hours making your own embellishments.
What do you think?

I agree. Scrapbooking is about the pictures not the embellishments. So many of the layouts in the general public magazines are so complicated you have to search for the single picture on the page. I don’t know about you but I have way to many good pictures that tell a story about life that using just one per page would create way to many books. Display your picutres and journal to fill in the blanks.
