More... Smackdown    

Smackdown

by Heidi Myers

I love this Easter layout because it shows the sassy (read: normal) side of my kids. The journaling says, "Easter Egg Smackdown. Easter Bunny, you've been served!" The simplicity of the layout allows the photo to shine and the colors are just perfect for springtime. Plus, I got to use up a good bit of my ribbon and trim stash which is always a bonus.  

More... The Bird    

The Bird

by Christy Butters

I did this layout for a challenge. It's not my normal style but I wanted to showcase the pictures and focus more on the story. I laugh out loud still thinking of my daughter's reaction when the bird bit her camera.  

More... Glee    

Glee

by Dana Tatar

I love to use elements cut from patterned paper as embellishments on my layouts. Butterflies and flowers are my favorite. I added one green puffy butterfly for texture and a fun pop of color.  

More... Completely Happy    

Completely Happy

by Christy Strickler

The photo I used for this page is not the best quality. It's from one of those Chuck E Cheese picture machines. The vibrant happiness in the photo is what makes me love this page so much, regardless of the photo's quality.  

More... You Are My Light    

You Are My Light

by Jill Blanchard

This is one of my favorite quotes from Harry Potter. My family is my 'light' and I wanted to make a layout with it. I love this extreme close up of my daughter while waiting in line at Ollivander's Wand Shop at Universal Orlando.  

More... Love Family Tree    

Love Family Tree

by Joni Parker

I really had fun with this layout. I stamped & embossed the huge tree, then just sat the layout aside on my table and every few days as I was scrapping other projects, I added a little bit more to this one. It just kept growing into this layout that is busier than my normal style, but was tons of fun to put together and to watch it evolve.

Inspiration Piece - April 17

Written by Kate Koch
  • Print

They say all you have to do is look at the world around you to find inspiration. And there are certainly a plethora of images and ideas to satisfy our needs for creative inspiration, but sometimes it's spending time inside our own heads that provides all the muse we need.

I paused when I came across this picture on the internet and as my eyes drank it all in, I felt a sudden peace I hadn't felt in awhile. A pleasant feeling considering my life has been utter chaos lately. Although I had another inspiration piece selected for this week, I knew I wanted to share this one.

The depth of emotion, the calm, soothing color palette and the imagery (implied and otherwise) all lend well to finding that creative spark that will jumpstart your next paper crafting project. How will you use it?

It's been awhile since we've shared Inspiration Pieces with you and to kick this off right, I've started a group on our site, complete with discussion board and a gallery. Every Tuesday, we'll post an inspiration piece for you to draw inspiration from and you can put your projects inside the group's gallery. Some of the SNR staffers will also be participating and adding their own artwork. Fun, right?

Join us here.

Staffer of the Week Artists From Around the World

 

Christy Strickler

Get to Know
Someone Special
Scrapbooking
Location: The Bahamas

I'm a homeschool mom, wife, and avid scrapbooker. I love spending time playing video games with my husband and son. My scrapbooking style is a bit eclectic. Lately, it's been a bit more on the artsy, playful side. I love to explore new techniques. When I start using my scrapbook stash, I'm like a little girl playing in her mom's makeup. I might make a mess with a little paint and mist, but I always get my story on the page.

Proud to Recognize

It's not always easy to find talented artists, but it's always easy to show gratitude for a job well done. Here at Scrapbook News and Review Magazine, we look for people who are persistent, professional and passionate about the paper crafting industry, and we're fortunate to have a group of 30+ clever crafters to help us make SNR one of the most impressive, widely received and largest online art magazines on the planet.

One of the things we love most about our team is that it’s comprised of staffers who have been a part of SNR Magazine for years – some from the very beginning – and we’re looking forward to developing long-term relationships with newer staffers as well.

Yet it doesn’t matter how long our staffers have been on staff, their dedication and attention to detail is steadfast and strong. As the editors of SNR, we’re thankful for their impact on the magazine and pleased to give credit where credit is due - for their significant contributions to the magazine are the reasons why Scrapbook News and Review Magazine is the remarkable publication it is today.
