This is one of my “tub staples” - a go-to when I need some really nice graphically oriented inspiration. There is a lot of information here as well, about grid-based design. Perfect for digi scrappers. :)

This is a great book on the process of creativity to achieve a targeted outcome. Perfect for graphic designers, and also perfect for scrapbookers looking to improve visual communication and design skills.

My first scrapbook idea book, and still one of my favorites. Cathy, who is a graphic designer, shook up the scrapbooking world with her clean, contemporary, minimalist designs, which focus on the photos and the story she’s telling. This book never fails to inspire me.

Ali Edwards’ first book. She provides great techniques and inspiration in her layouts, and subtle, important design lessons throughout the text. One of my favorite scrapbook idea books.

Ali’s second book simply rocks. She includes ideas for scrapbooking with all styles of patterned paper, and includes sketches of her layouts.
