What you ought to do is go to the local Barnes and Noble and look through and the one that really appeals to YOU would be the one to get....
HOWEVER that being said, LOL If you are going to subscribe, you may want to check out Amazon.com and see if they have a subscription you can buy that would be cheaper than just a reg sub price.... Papercrafts, Creating Keepsakes and Simply Scrapbooks are all lower than the reg price of a sub....normally...
I get zillions of mags either subscription or from the store:
RubberStamper
Stampers Sampler
PaperCrafts
Creating Keepsakes
Simple Scrapbooks
Stamp It
Scrap and Stamp Arts (which used to be called something else, but I can't remember)
Legacy
If I had to only pick two, one for stamping & one for scrapping, I'd pick Stamper's Sampler for stamping because they have a ton of samples in an nice easy format every issue and Creating Keepsakes for scrapping because they seem to be up on the latest stuff for scrapbooking.
Spend some time in B&N and see if any appeal to you more than others. I love looking through mags for ideas. Unfortunately, sometimes I spend more time reading about stamping/scrapping than I do for actually stamping/scrapping! :rolleyes:
nadine that's my problems too I spend moe money on magazines and ideas.and looking at SCS,that I never get around to doing my own layouts.I can spend half the day just looking at ideas.and spending money on stamp sets and accessories alone than working on my pages.

yes I am already subscribed to th edirty dozen and I love to go into scs gallery for ideas.since that is the best place for me when I need to decide on what stamp sets to buy.since you can't get any better than the ideas here.
I've even bought stamps sets after I said I wouldn't buy that set because I didn't really care for it.then end up buying it after all the cool things people do with sets like the frog set Unfrogettable.I didn't really care for that at first now it's going to be 1 set I have to have this month.so it just go to show how good these ladies here are at scs.
Going back to magazines I have to have something for scrapbooking and stamping so I can keep up with the lastest techniques and tools.so even know we have lots of techniques here I still need more all the time.and yes I do subscribe to pat huntoons newsletter too.that's a must have.for any ones library.
I just like to have something new at my fingertips all the time.can never have enough magazines.

My upline and I were talking and she had told me she bought Creative Keepsakes on E-bay...I looked into it and found a one year subscription for 12.99...I did not find any card/stamping magazines except Card Maker...never heard of this. But they have TONS of magazines there for CHEAP!!! Just go to e-bay and in the search field type magazine subscriptions..

I love Better Homes & Garden's Scrapbooks etc. It is very good for all levels of scrapbookers. They also throw in ideas to use for your scraps, making cool cards and tags with the remnants.
They are offering buy 1 year get one free on their website.
I also subscribe to Creating Keepsakes. I like ot, but sometimes they go over the top. NIce to look at as well, but some LO seem impractical for my tastes.
I also like Paper Crafts magazine for cards, but really think SCS is a terrific source for cards, etc.
STAMPING
Amen! Dirty Dozen is a great "subscription". I find more useful info (templates and instructions) there than in mags like PaperCrafts and Stamp It. That said my pics would be The Rubber Stamper and Stamper's Sampler.
SCRAPBOOKING
Not much into that yet, so I don't have many good ideas there.

My favorite for stamping is Vamp Stamp News -it is put out by one woman-has reviews of products-how to use them-examples-cards by subscribers-www.vampstampnews.com - For scrapbooking I just subscribed to Scrapbook Answers-includes a CD showing how to do projects in book; fonts & pages you can download-it is a little pricey-scrapbookanswers.com
I have been getting the Rubber Stamper for the last year and its good. I may take a look at Stamp It because I haven't heard of it. It is time to renew so I may try something new. Creating Keepsakes is my favorite scrapbooking mag.
what is the best stamping and scrapbooking magazines to buy.
