fresh

After reading this book, you will never look at a 12 month calendar the same again. Great project ideas and layouts. Embracing the simple clean lines that Simple is known for. No matter what stage you are in of the scrapbooking journey - you will find this book inspirational. To tell stories that might not otherwise get told.

unique and creative

What a wonderfully unique book....not just more of the "same old- same old". While I might not use every single idea, there certainly are plenty from which to choose. This is not meant to be a blueprint but a springboard.....an inspiration. The contributors were well-chosen and their layouts were terrific. I look forward to using this well-formatted and creative book a lot.

loved it!

I have been really impressed with this book. I think the concept of the book is totally fresh and creative. I love the layouts that correspond to the days selected. There is inspiration for every type of scrapbooker whether you are just starting out, are a lover of patterned paper like me or prefer to work digitally. I keep picking it up again and again, it is a very fun book. The contributors also fit really well in this book. I think that it is a bargain considering you have a years worth of inspiration at your fingertips. The possibilities are endless, enjoy!

The Scrapbooker's Almanac

This book is GREAT. A must have for interesting project ideas for every month of the year. The layouts and projects are beautiful by the contributors and the writing is witty and inspiring. My favorite project is probably probably the Groundhog Day inspired (what day would you live over and over) but there are so many to choose from. I love that it follows the Simple philosophy so well and keeps things doable for even the beginner. As an added bonus the book is spiral bound so it stays open while you are working. This is definitely a must have for my scrap library!

Inspiration at every turn

What a fun book, what a well written book, what a beautiful book. I am still digesting every nuance. The great thing about this book is that there are layers of inspiration. The designs are inspirational. The words are inspirational. The special calendar dates/holidays/celebrations are inspirational. Inspiration is simply oozing out of the pages. Each page, each layout, each word, needs to be savored because they all contain golden nuggets of insight Lately scrapbooking books, while gorgeous to look at, have done little to motivate me to put glue to paper. I have already started projects based on the inspiration of this book and I've had it less than 24 hours. It's a great book. I think, long term, it will not only inspire me to scrapbook more, but to celebrate all the special events of my life, be they annual or not. :) Thanks Elizabeth and contributors for such a great book and all your hard work! :D
