While other scrapbooking magazines devote the majority of their pages to simply showing scrapbook layouts, Scrapbooking & Beyond™ provides both seasoned pros and newcomers with the inspiration to create the page and the education to make the page. Let us be your guide for learning, creating, and sharing.
Inside the Current Issue — Winter 2009
Scrapbooking is a passionate endeavor, but it can serve a much higher purpose than preserving one’s photos and memories. It can be a useful and therapeutic tool in allowing us to express our deepest feelings and to work through our grief. The Healing Power of Scrapbooking – Coping with Loss is a personal look at how three women have taken the difficult, but necessary steps in dealing with loss. And yes…the struggle was hard, paralyzing for some. In each instance, they began by looking back. Now, they are looking ahead, and all because of scrapbooking.
Perhaps you know someone who needs a helping hand. This holiday season, take a bold step and reach out. Ask if they’d like to attend your next scrapper’s club get-together and donate some supplies to help get them started. It might just be the most perfect gift you can give.
Peace to all…
