Another author has stepped up to provide Scrapbook Update readers with the chance to win some scrapbook-themed mystery reading! If you’ve been around scrapbooking for awhile in the U.S, you may remember Joanna Campbell Slan. She’s written for Memory Makers and Creating Keepsakes, and had books published about scrapbooking, before moving to the U.K. and starting a scrapbooking contest there.
Now Joanna has started writing a series of scrapbook-themed mysteries. The first one – Paper, Scissors, Death – is already available. The second book – Cut, Crop & Die
– will be out this summer and is already available for pre-order at Amazon. (I love those titles! Paper, Scissors, Death – that’s what happens at my house if my husband says anything bad about my scrapbook pages!)
The heroine of the books is Kiki Lowenstein, a mom who scrapbooks. Her life gets turned upside down in the first book when her husband is found dead…and after his college girlfriend is found dead she becomes the prime suspect.
So, if you’d like the chance to win one of two copies of Paper, Scissors, Death to read, just follow the usual rules: Make a post in the comment section of this post before Midnight eastern time next Wednesday night (March 11th). To make sure you don’t miss being notified if you win, make sure to include a valid email address when you post. (The addresses aren’t included with your public post and are only used by Scrapbook Update to notify the winners if they don’t respond to the public announcement of winners.) One entry per person, thanks!
Good luck – and happy reading – everyone!

































Scrapbooking and reading – combining my favorites!!!
This book sounds really fun and I would love to check it out!
What great titles! I would love to be one of the winners! Of course, if I don’t win I will certainly go and look for it at my bookstore! Thanks for the opportunity!
Looks like a fun book! Thanks for the contest.
These look great!
So far, my scrapbooking reading has been limited to design books, so I should probably expand my repertoire and give her stuff a try! Looks fun!
I love those titles. I can’t wait to read those. Thank you so much for all the information you provide for us.
I love to read! Thanks for the chance to win
I will be happy to read this book. This book sounds very interesting. Thank you for a chance.
