June 2007 Issue

5/15/2007 10:14:23 AM (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-04:00)

Hey everyone,

Just a quick note that the June 2007 issue is on sale today!

A few fun highlights:

*I like Executive Editor Beth Williams' "Top Ten Corner" about her summer favorites. (Page 2) Number eight also is a favorite of mine: late-afternoon thundershowers. It's so lovely to be inside with a good book and listen to the rain and thunder. Being a list person, I love this idea as a prompt. I'm thinking of adapting Beth's list for a scrapbook page about my own summer favorites. What are yours? Have you ever made a page about them?

*In honor of Father's Day, check out the June Come Together column about one man's appreciation for scrapbooking. (Page 34) Then, see if you can set a scrapping date with one of the men in your life. Think you could convince your hubby, boyfriend or brother to scrap with you? Let us know if you do.

*Looking for tips to photography your furry friends? Check out Focus on Images column by Audrey Neal. (Page 36) I love Audrey's "Time for a Catnap." Photographing the cat lazily lounging in the leaves is a wonderful way to show what Audrey's journaling explains: "This cat can relax anywhere." And don't forget about the Web exclusive. You'll find even more pet-friendly photography tips, including how to photograph fish and birds.

*The June True Colors column by Kari Hansen is sure to put you in a vacation mindset. (Page 44) What tropical-inspired color palette appeals to you most? I'm especially drawn to the Caribbean Cruise palette. Kari writes: "As the home of some of the best snorkeling and diving in the Western Hemisphere, the inspiration for the hot brights of the Caribbean palette starts with the dazzling blue sea and its kaleidoscope of stunning tropical fish. Go ashore to extend the color scheme to its lush jungle vegetation, exotic fruits, sunny skies and beautiful beaches." Yum.

*Interested in entering the 2008 Memory Makers Masters contest? Read "Winning Pages" for tips from the 2007 Memory Makers Masters on creating memorable layouts sure to catch the judges' eyes. (Page 64) Contest rules appear on page 22, or you can view them on the Web here: http://memorymakersmagazine.com/2008MastersContest/

*Because I'm thrilled that summer weather is finally here, I love Kitty Foster's "Celebrate Summer" layout in this month's Reader Idea Gallery. It perfectly captures the excitement of the beginning of summer. (Page 91)

We hope you enjoy the issue, and as always, please let us know what you think!

WOohoo! I really liked the June issue-the true color article was great, and Debbie Hodge's 4x6 article really showcased how to use "real" everyday photos about real life. good luck to all the scrappers who submit to this year's master's contest. And if you're on the fence, get off ! :)
