Happy Haunting by Cassandra Cy; Creating Keepsakes Sept/Oct 2013
The September/October issue each year is designated as the “Top 10″ issue. This year we’re bringing you a variety of top 10 items including the Top 10 Tools feature with a layout and product on each page of the feature, PLUS a chance to win each of the tools. Would you love to win this prize?
Well you can, just hop on over to the Creating Keepsakes Contests page and enter each of the 10 giveaways.
Also in the Top 10 arena we’re looking at inspiration from the decades in Decades Deja Vu starting with the 1920s and ending with 1980. The inspiration from these stunning layouts and how they incorporate aspects of the decade’s photo is amazing.

You Pick by Kelly Goree; Creating Keepsakes September/October 2013
Moving away from the Top 10 portions of the magazine (of which there are still more) another feature that is sure to speak to most scrapbookers is Title Techniques. This feature has creative ways to make your title shine by using extra photos for letters, die cutting an oversize word, hand stitching the words, and much more. And if you’re not quite sure how a title was created, we’ve included a few step-by-step sections to walk you through recreating the technique.
