Even though you do digital scrapbooking do you still my scrapbooking magazines?

I do, i buy a new one at least every day for inspiration. I like to look at all the layouts people have done and get ideas..
Some good magazines i like are:
Scrapbooking Memories
For Keeps Creative Scrapbooking
and Scrapbook Creations.

I also get all the paper crafts books for papers to scan and use in my digital layours..

Hi, yes I buy them also, I use to belong to a magazine called Scrapbook Answers, it came with a CD filled with stuff to do, learn and they had all kinds of fonts every month, plus different layouts to download, then they had a section of software to try, some were free others were trial periods.Thats is how I was introduced to here, they had the 30 day trial download and I have been hooked ever since!!! Then I renew my subscription only to find out they are out of business!!! I wasnt a happy camper, but what can I do! LOL
I too get many inspirations from them. I love doing cards too so I get the Card Creations too.
You buy one everyday! Man that is expensive, a magazine here runs about 7 bucks! some are higher! :eek: :eek:

I have a subscription to Paper Crafts Cards Creations magazine. I just love it and I wait impatiently for it every month.

I used to buy them as often as possible but now I only buy one once in awhile because there's so much inspiration on the web! I, too, got introduced to Scrapbook Max! from Scrapbook Answers. It was the best magazine until it went out of business! When I do buy one it's usually Simple Scrapbooks or Better Homes & Gardens Scrapbooking.

I just found a new magazine (Premiere issue) of Digital Scrapbooking magazine. It's awesome. There are LOTS of LO's, and some have instructions on how they were made. The best part is that the designers and their websites are listed so if I really like a certain paper or element, I know where I can find it. Here's their website (www.digitalscrapbooking.com) so you can go there & look around. :D

I buy Scrapook Inspirations, it's just the storage of them. I can't bring myself to throw them away.

I too was getting Scrapbook Answers. It was an awesome magazine! I couldn't believe they went out of business--it broke my heart. I had already renewed my subscription so they are sending a different magazine in place of Answers. But I have kept every issue! Now I'm going to go checkout the new one nnorcott left info on!

I agree, just about anything you can do with paper you can do with digiscrapping. And much faster and easier and cheaper:) !
