Each Thursday I review a book or blog related to scrapbooking.
Finally, a blog review and not a book review! I’ll try to do better a mixing it up a bit more. I think there were just a lot of books that came out in just in time for Christmas. I still have a stack of books to review, but wanted to do a blog review.
Why Simple Scrapper?
I chose to review Simple Scrapper this week for a couple of reasons. First, I am already regularly linking to Simple Scrapper because Jennifer Wilson produces great content. Second, she’s also from Central Illinois. I’ve never met her personally and did not realize that she actually is based about 45 miles from where I live until I joined Twitter and started following Simple Scrapper.
The Review
I reviewed Simple Scrapper from December 12, 2010 to January 18, 2011. Now, Simpler Scrapper took a break from Dec 12-31, so my review time frame is shorter than what I typically like. Oh well.
Purpose
Simple Scrapper is about embracing simplicity and scrapbooking education. You will rarely see layouts posted in this site. I love this! I know this isn’t for everyone, but there are enough blogs out there that do not do much more than publish layouts that this is refreshing.
Content
There are posts most days of the week. Mondays begin with “Celebrate Monday,” a weekly photography exercise. Ooh, I like that–exercise, not challenge. There is a difference. Friday is “Weekly Reading,” which is a collection of links to posts around the web that might be of interest to readers. These links vary. Some are directly related to scrapbooking, while others are more focused on simplicity or minimalism.
Two Thumbs Up!
I highly recommend Simple Scrapper. The posts are informative and there is something for everyone–from beginning scrapbookers to more experienced scrapbookers.
