Scrapbook Magazines: Moving On, Moving Out

Part of the current stash

  Over the years, i've had several different Creative Memories consultants, as well as learning from non-consultant friends and printed materials, not to mention previous art training.
  i've accumulated a LOT of scrapbook magazines and books over the past 25 years.
  i am trying to be  "recovering" in my hoarding.
  This the
second culling of the herd - what, you think they came in & went out the same month? No, when they come in, i flipped through them briefly, then returned to read another time more thoroughly.  Ones i especially liked got pored over for months to come, and maybe returned to.
  There's a lot of good art skills teaching in them, especially the oldest ones.  Newer ones are more on the order of, here's a simple plan; cut like this, paste, & be done.
  Here's some things i've noticed as i read through them this time:

• Page ideas which i've used.  This is maybe the best part, seeing forgotten pages and recognizing how i've used them.
• Great teaching articles. As i said, the earlier ones are better at this.  How to use color & pattern paper effectively, Getting the most bang for your buckwith the supplies you purchase. How to journal your pages (simplest advice: ask yourself what you'd say to someone sitting beside you looking at your pages.)
• Humorous articles. Yes, again, in the earlier ones.  My favoried was "Mr. Becky" showing us some examples of moments we shouldn't scrapbook.  (and yes, one was alluded to only.)
• The changing styles of page ideas.  My magazines cover the period of 1996-about 2015 or so.  The early ones showed a lot of cutout photos, stickers, and paper dolls.  The paper dolls and shaped photos disappeared early on, and the sticker arrangements grew more skilled in locating as time went on.
• Lovely photos. i realized that, when culling previously, i had saved a LOT of magazines because of the gorgeous photos, especially blue ones, in the magazines.  Not a reason to keep, unfortunately.
• Creative Memories' Lasting Moments magazine would be the best for giving to kids to cut and paste. 
  
•  Memory Makers has the most, and i think best, heritage ideas.  i love, love love the four-page section in the 2000 ones with images reminiscient of the various decades of the 20th century.
• Most of the educational articles i've already benefitted from.  Unless i were going to use these as a resource to teach scrapbooking, and i don't think there's much if any demand for that now, there's no point to having them.

   So most of them are going out. A few i'm recycling. A larger, carefully curated number of them are going to a friend. i think Goodwill is going to have most of them - HalfPrice books offers me pennies before tossing them.

  And some are making the cut THIS time to stay.  Mostly they're heritage ideas.  

  But it is kinda sad to know that no one is going to want those educational ones.  Unless any of you want them, or have other ideas?
