A print magazine dedicated to digital scrapbooking and only digital scrapbooking. I received a subscription as a Christmas gift, which I asked for, and WOW am I impressed! The magazine is jam packed with great informative tips, techniques, and inspiration! One of the best parts is the reader tutorials, in which regular digi-scrappers, like you and me, submit their favorite easy techniques. Each issue will teach you something new.

The only downside to this magazine is it only comes out 6 times a year, I want one every month. Digital Scrapbooking magazine is well worth the small investment if you really want to master digital scrapbooking and have a constant source of layout inspiration.
