Scrapbook inspirations?

I wonder whose will arrive first!

[gillyp]

Deekay, guess what?

[Deekay]

Gilly, mine's here and now I have to go off to work so no time to look at it
Hope your arrives soon.

Our posties must have arrived at the same time.

Mine is here too and I must admit I was a little trepidatious (if there is such a word) looking through it following others thoughts.

My initial thoughts are:

I love the clean layout of the pages

I love most of what I've seen from a quick flick through

Would I buy it again? Probably.

[Deekay]

Had a quick flick through and looks interesting but not sure it's worth £9.99 and I certainly wouldn't pre-order again.

I've had a chance to really look through and I've enjoyed it. It's the first time in a long time that I have actually read every page of a scrapping mag without being disinterested or just skimming through. It reminds me of a modern Creating Keepsakes without all the adverts. I'm not exactly overstruck on the price but for once a quarter I would definitely buy it again.

The problem with it being quarterly is £10 is a quarter's worth of magazine spending but you don't get a quarter's worth of magazine reading.

I agree entirely! Its a really lovely magazine but far too expensive.

Absolutely - it is so well presented, far nicer than SBM and even ST, but def. overpriced. I still haven't persuaded myself to part with a tenner for it, though did have a very good look through a copy in the shops. Maybe for £7.99, or definitely for £5.99, but really can't justify £9.99 for it

Mine arrived this morning, I was going to give it to a friend for a birthday pressie but it arrived too late. Quite frankly it wouldn't have looked much of a birthday present anyway, I was expecting a much thicker book. The contents are great but next month I will be using Smiths as a library cos I just can't justify the price to myself.

Well done to Shimelle for putting a great magazine together, I have really missed my monthly SI. Perhaps with enough UKS comments they will rethink the price? I am always the optimist!

I saw it yesterday when I was in Hobbycrafts, I was suprised at how thin it was for the price, not much more than I would have expected for a monthly magazine. The copy at the front of the pile was very very well thumbed which suggests a lot of people have thought the same.

I decided not to buy it..... however, having flicked through it I decided that there were a lot of layouts that would be of use to me at the moment so I decided to treat myself to cheer myself up after a bad day.

Unfortunately, I then spent my motorway drive home thinking about what stash I could have bought for £9.99!.

Not sure if I will buy one again, I will have to see how much I "use" it over the next month or so.
