Ethnic Scrapbooking

Top Scrapbooking Innovation in 2007

Check this out!  Ethnic Scrapbooking is named one of the TOP INNOVATIONS in Scrapbooking News for 2007.

CLICK HERE to see the complete list.  If you want to know the inside scoop about the scrapbooking industry, Angie Pedersen is the person to go to...noone knows the industry better than she does.  I'm not saying that because I made her list, I'm saying that because she was the first author to write an idea book on how to scrapbook about yourself and it remained the only one on the market until recently...she coined the term "The Book of Me"...which I proudly do each and every year about myself.

I Love New York!

Here's a bit of history behind some of the layouts in Ethnic Scrapbooking.  You will find this layout on page 86 of the book and one I'm sure many can relate too.

I'm just back from a mini-excursion to New York City where I got a huge dose of cultural diversity, but this trip was a bit different because I was with my globe-trekking sister, this was our first time experiencing Manhattan together.

The bit of history/trivia about this layout is that those are actual bottle caps on the bottom of the page (which makes it very heavy and lumpy) which is not a good thing for scrapbooks, so use them very sparingly. When my husband saw me making this page, he finally said, "Well, you've got entirely too much scrapbooking stuff!"  To which I replied, "Just like that entire garage full of stuff you have!"

ON SALE NOW!

The book has arrived...the whole shipment is about the size of our Volvo in the garage ( and weighs the same too).  The Buy Now link is up and running, it's set up for a one item purchase, if you'd like to order more than one copy, e-mail me privately at lisa@ethnicscrapbooking.com and I'll take care of your request. 

It's been a long road, but it's finally here, I didn't realize what an accomplishment it was until I heard my three year old tell my father-in-law yesterday in a real excited voice, "Mommy's book came today!"

A special thanks to all of you who encouraged me and waited so patiently.  I'll be running some contests and challenges in the near future, hopefully in November as we settle in for some winter scrappin.

If you are in D.C. or Maryland, I'll be vending at Simpson-Hamline's Women's retreat this Saturday from 9 am - 1 pm on 16th Street, NW Washington, D.C.  Stop by, you'll get a little goodie from me as well as a savings on the shipping...it's a heavy, I mean thick and juicy book.
