I have noticed that one thing i love to do, (usually while enjoying my morning cup of Joe) is reading NEW books on Scrapbooking, or basicly anything that contains NEW Innovative "tips & tricks". Some people might find this a bit funny, but i believe it is crucial to my craft, I have to feed my knowledge in this medium if i am to grow. Not to mention the sheer thrill and excitement of looking over new layouts & ideas i can take and incorporate in my own unique ways.
I sometimes feel as if my mind is this bubbly stew of creativity and my new reading material is like the "secrete ingredient" i'm adding in last to finish it off. LOL! (Ok, so mabye i'm also a bit of a "foodie" too.) but, it is a lot like that for me...soaking in all the little details here and there, learning about new products and tools or seeing layouts with beautiful eye catching embelishments and pops of color and beautiful paper. (sigh) I can read through a 100 page book in a matter of hours.
I have a few favs and I'd like to share them, in case any one of you out there is in need of some super helpful and "meaty" reading materials to help spur your "creative juice stew"! :)
Leisure Arts Creating Keepsakes- Books 1 & 2-"Scrapbook Tips & Techniques"
I believe there is also a 3rd book out and one on "Wedding Layouts"
Scrapbook Trends Magazine-published monthly
Memory Makers Books-"Scrapbook Page Maps"-Wonderful for layouts, esp if you get stuck, overwhelmed, or are running low on creative juice.
Hope you enjoy! :)
Apie~
