Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Scrapbookers who enjoy gathering easy layout suggestions by leafing through other people's scrapbooks will like Vanessa-Ann's 515 Scrapbooking Ideas. A compendium of complete scrapbook pages by four different designers, this guide provides hundreds of page designs and some helpful tips from the designers, such as making color copies of dimensional objects like scout badges or a favorite blanket to use as page accents. There are no real instructions or explanations of materials, which makes the book best suited to novices who already know a few basics about the craft but want quick access to many simple layout ideas. --Amy Handy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Packaging, but..., January 3, 2001

This review is from: 515 Scrapbooking Ideas (Hardcover)

I bought this book largely based on the prior reviews and the appeal of the cover. I was very disappointed in the content though. The pages are all 8 1/2 x 11 formats and I do 12 x 12 formats. Although there were some appealing layouts, I thought many of the them were very simplistic and not anything I would care to get inspiration from. I don't like that fact that it only has ideas from 3 different scrapbookers because they each have a particular style and therefore there is not a lot of variety in the layouts. This is a book more suited to a beginning scrapbooker.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of things to look at, February 26, 2001

This review is from: 515 Scrapbooking Ideas (Hardcover)

This book begins with a basic intro to scrapbooking (supplies, pictures, and whatnot), and then showcases four different scrapbookers and various pages from their books.

What we get is a smorgasbord of styles, lots of different uses for different materials, and some ideas to spark your creativity. The pictures are full-color, with four page layouts shown on each page. However, since there are only samples from four different people, the layouts do tend to begin to look alike.

I would recommend checking this book out at the library to test it out before you spend $20 on it. (That's $20 you could be spending on scrapbooking materials!)
