Take up your scrapbooking in a whole new
state of mind—and spirit.
When I scrapbook, I feel empowered and
connected and hopeful. I feel grateful and content and
stimulated. In the process of scrapbooking, I feel the closest
to my essential self, and to God.
—from the Introduction
In this imaginative, creative resource,
award-winning scrapbook designer Cory Richardson-Lauve leads
you on a celebration of the divine connection you can
experience through scrapbooking. Weaving her own insights,
techniques and artwork with the reflections and layouts of
other professional scrapbookers and the wisdom of spiritual
thinkers, Richardson-Lauve reveals how this innovative and
dynamic craft can become a practice used to deepen and shape
your life.
Each chapter includes an original
scrapbooking project with dozens of variations—for both
cut-and-paste and digital artists, beginning scrapbookers and
published designers alike—that helps you explore a
theme essential to both your designs and your spirituality.
