Today, I got myself a couple of copies of UK printed 'Paper Craft inspirations' magazines. Though not the latest issues but discovered the magazine - in addtion to the free card embellishments that was packaged with the magazine, 'Paper Craft Inspirations' also included templates and free patterned papers that can be used for making cards or scrap pages and (this is the best part) can be downloaded (and printed out as many copies your heart's desires!) for FREE from their allocated webiste.
I thought the free downloads were pretty ...

That's the difference between the American Scrapbook magazines and the UK versions. The British tend to focus more on not only the beautiful 'end products' but also the 'how to ...' - giving readers a step by step pictorial account on achieving such effects.
Admittedly, the British scrap pages that are featured in magazines tend to be a little less flamboyant and fancy compared to the American versions. But for beginners like me who is in want for lots of instructions and education ( on the different tools, accents, effects) that is unfortunately non-existent in my part of the world, these magazines (and of course reference books) are God-sent!
Also there's scrapbookscrapbook.com (that was emailed to me from Jasmine) where you can get quite a few things to download for FREE!
