It's clean. It's simple. It's pure Cathy.
And it's still totally cool. Cathy Zielske, creative director for Simple Scrapbooks magazine, is back with the sequel to her best-selling book, Clean and Simple Scrapbooking - the Sequel.
In her new book, she revisits the core tenets of the hobby: telling good stories, making well-designed pages, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and remembering to have a really good time while you're at it. She reminds us that scrapbooking isn't an obligation, but an opportunity to capture the bits and pieces that make up our lives.
From scrapbooking about her intense love of paper towels to her obsession with heavily-tattooed rock stars, Cathy throws open the window on her life and shares how she chooses to record it. You'll laugh, connect, and be inspired to record your own life with pictures, paper, adhesive and above all, authenticity.
Inside you'll find:
tons of real-life layout ideas
guilt-free scrapbooking philosophy
design, journaling and type tips
8 1/2 x 11 and 12 x 12 layout designs
nine theme album concepts
stuff that will make you smile
Scrapbooking makes me pay attention to the stuff in my life that matters. It never replaces living in the moment. It simply gives me the opportunity to reflect and record. And have fun in the process. And buy some scrapbooking stuff. Okay, buy a lot of scrapbooking stuff. It's all good.
