- Discover The Treasures in your ShoeBox -

Why keep your photos stuffed in a shoebox or stuffed in an envelope when they could be made into something to treasure? Personal scrapbooking can make a world of difference as to how you see or value what you already have and the people at PersonalScrapbooking.com have developed so many ways to help you.

"We can make you that gift that will make the recipient cry...from joy and personal emotion.", announces scrapbook creator Ann-Marie, "In this day and age people are so busy, rushing here and there, and there is never enough time to make a personal effort. So we do that for you.".

Their scrapbooking company offers a couple different ways to buy the products, such as making you a scrapbook with the photos you send them, or making you a scrapbook blank stuffed with sayings and embellishments, and you just put the pictures in yourself.

With thousands of different papers, stickers, charms, rub ons, borders, fabric embellishments, paper tags, fabric tags, stamps, inks, sprays, glows, etc, you are sure to end up with a unique and beautiful creation.

PersonalScrapbooking.com has also recently introduced a new product line of their own vintage card kits. Each kit has everything you need to make 5 cards, and all you will need is scissors and glue.

"Scrapbooking is a craze thats popping up worldwide and now and you can get so many different variations", says Ann-Marie, "I am an established Scrapbook maker and have 8 years experience so your memories are safe in my hands.".

- Dreams Alive Magazine Updates and Opportunities -

See what's new, what's exciting and what's coming up in the issues yet to come.

Updates:

• New Improved Magazine Format and Distribution
  With a 2 to 3 month span between the release of each issue of Dreams Alive Magazine, there is a substantial curve of interest in the magazine that is at a high point when an issue first releases and then gradually fades off to a much smaller, but steady rate of interest afterwards, with guaranteed spikes in interest as seasons return each year. We have made significant changes over the past five years to improve the look, feel and navigation of the magazine, and now, we have created an entirely new system of distributing the magazine.
   
  Issues will now be released in tandem with our RSS Home and Garden Articles Feeds. To ensure we get the greatest effect from this, an issue will now be released with a small series of base articles and then additional articles will be released within that issue as the weeks go by. Each article release will also be submitted through our RSS Home and Garden Articles Feed.
   
  In a nutshell, instead of releasing the entire issue all at once, each issue will now grow gradually over the term and season of the issue, taking advantage of RSS and Newsletters to help our readers focus and find items of interest. The issue will conclude with all articles intact as though presented that way in the first place, but we believe our article contributors and advertisers will gain a tremendous increase in attention and interest since each primary article will be presented on a plate for you, our readers to enjoy.
   
  We desire that Dreams Alive Magazine becomes a part of your week, not just a part of your season. It may take us an issue or two to work out some of the smaller details, but our overall goal of eliminating the time lapse between issues, will have been accomplished.
• Articles Are Easier To Find Than Ever!
  We have just concluded the creation of our Article and Author Database. Now, in addition to looking through each issue for articles, you can look at all articles from all issues that are associated with a specific category. You are bound to find many articles of interest that have been here all along...but you just couldn't find them.
   
  Another great feature is sorting the articles by Author. Now you can easily find all the articles ever written by your favorite authors...and for those of you with website content needs, the article reprint rights are clearly specified as to whether you can freely place the articles on your website as well.
   
  Visit our Articles sorted by Category.

Opportunities:

• One aspect of our magazine that often includes massive searching and time consuming modifications, is the selection and creation of our magazine cover. Since the cover is a large image, many of the images submitted to us along with articles, cannot be considered.
• We would like to encourage artists and photographers to select or create images that would be great for use as our cover and send them to us for review. Each approved and used image would include an acknowledgement and link back to the authors website or e-mail address. Since our magazine is released seasonally, we generally search for indoor, outdoor or creative abstracts of each season. You will be welcome to send as many selections as you desire, providing they follow the guidelines below
  • The image must be at least 750 pixels wide and 900 pixels tall, without having been stretched to that size. Clarity is important.
  • Since our magazine title and main topics exist on the left side of the cover, it's best if that area is not "busy" to the point where it is difficult to read. If you look at most of our cover images, you will see what we mean.
  • For images that are of different dimensions, your images will be cropped, not stretched to fit. Also, for images that are much larger than needed, we will proportionally resize them to the proper size and then crop as necessary.
  • Send all submissions in jpg, bmp, psp or tif format. If you do use JPG, do not compress more than 15%.
