5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book of ideas!, July 12, 2007

By	Doralyn Rush "bibliophile" (Springfield, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this to be a great springboard for scrapbooking ideas. I borrowed this book from the library and just had to have it. It's packed with pages on a huge variety of topics by some of Memory Makers best scrappers. If you're looking for fresh scrapbooking ideas such as you'd get from magazines, you'll like this book. I'm a die hard scrapbooker and have been for several years and I really enjoyed this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great first blush, pales with frequent viewing., February 8, 2008

By	F.Faulkner "F.F." (Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews

This is definitely eye candy, loads of lovely colors and the book is laid out beautifully. But when I really looked at the pages and layouts, I found a great deal of repetition, and nothing really new. I walked away and picked it up again. Nope. It did not end up being one of the idea books I return to time and again unfortunately. But it is eye candy. The DVD rom is sort of fluff as the pages are not as good as what's in the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Full of ideas, April 24, 2007

By	Tassu (New Zealand) - See all my reviews

Every time I get stuck with a page I reach for this book. There are so many different layouts that there's always something that helps me to get over my "scrapper's block". There's also a short description on the inspiration and construct behind each page. The reason I didn't give this five stars is that I would have liked to see the pages grouped by style (eg heritage, contemporary, richly embellished) instead of theme, now the truly great pages get too easily lost between the pages that don't inspire me the least.
