Scrapbook pages are full of magic as they document life, and I am reminded of that every month as we gather ideas for Scrapbook Trends. A sense of wonder at the beautiful layouts, cards, mini albums and projects is what motivates us to bring you the very best in each issue. You will find wonderful layouts and cards, stunning photography, new ideas, helpful tips and techniques, columns and informative articles to support you in your efforts to express your creativity and document your life.
The foundation of Scrapbook Trends is layouts created by our readers – scrapbookers like you who want to capture their memories and preserve them for those they care about. We love the variety of styles that these talented scrappers are willing to share as we put together the very best collection of layout ideas available.
In addition to our layout sections, Scrapbook Trends also brings you fresh article ideas to add to your scrapbooking experience. Here’s a preview of a few of our features:

Stories to Tell
Journaling is one of the most meaningful parts of scrapbooking and Jen Gallacher is here to make it easier, more fun and extra expressive! We are excited to have Jen share her expertise in getting your thoughts and feelings into your layouts. She will provide the inspiration and tips to make your stories a wonderful addition to the layouts you create. We believe it is the story behind the photos that make them even more meaningful.

Real Life
