Each Thursday I review a book or blog related to scrapbooking.
Today, I am reviewing Scrapbooking the Everyday by Elizabeth Dillow and Tina Cockburn from Ella Publishing Co..
Scrapbooking the Everyday contains 12 challenges to inspire you to scrapbook the everyday.
Though the challenges are to inspire you to scrapbook the everyday instead of the extraordinary (e.g., holidays, celebrations, travel), these challenges could definitely be used for extraordinary topics, too.
Not surprisingly, the title is somewhat misleading. The subtitle says “34 fresh new ways to celebrate your daily life.” I’m not sure where the 34 comes from. There are 12 challenges and each author provides their take on the challenge. That equals 24. There are also bonus tips for each layout. Maybe that adds up to 34. Perhaps this is me being super-picky, but I want the title to accurately reflect the content of the book because this is an e-book. I can’t flip through it before purchasing to see if I am getting what is promised.
Regardless, I did like this e-book. I think that this was $5.99 well spent. If you are wanting to test the waters of scrapbooking the everyday or you already are an everyday scrapbooker but need some inspiration, be sure to check out Scrapbooking the Everyday from Ella Publishing Co..
