Chicken Soup for the Scrapbooker's Soul: Stories to Remember
"If you love someone, put their name in a circle, not a heart, because a heart can be broken, but a circle goes on forever."
- Author:Brian Littrell
I recently read “Chicken Soup for the Scrapbooker's Soul: Stories to Remember . . . by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Allison Connors and Debbie Haas
If you have read any of the “Chicken Soup” series of books, you will love this book.
I found it inspiring, you laugh one moment and cry the next. It is beautifully illustrated, it will motivate you and explain why we scrapbook.
Allison Connor's blog is Allisonswonderland.
Here are some of Allison's layouts.
Have you read the book and if so, what did you think ?

I found the book "Painted Scrapbook Pages" by Mylinda van Zee very inspiring.
She also has a motivating Blog and website.
I found some interesting ideas to make background papers and clever hints.
The book is easy to read and well illustrated. The materials used are mostly inexpensive.
I tried the design concept " magic of three", painted some card-stock and it worked well.

I love how she distresses her edges.

The book has envelopes with little scribbled notes and removable tags to use for planning.
One of the messages from the book is, not to be overwhelmed by all the photos you have, but to choose a memory and illustrate it.
There is also a good chapter on creativity.
