Book Description

Publication Date: April 2002

If you are stuck for words or creative ideas you should find lots of inspiration in this newly revised edition of Another 500 Heartwarming Expressions For Crafting and Scrapbooking. The third of four books in this popular series, now includes lots more chunky lettering styles, page layout ideas, project instructions and now for the first time, color samples of projects are featured on the back cover. These new projects include a unique baby announcement card that pulls out of a paper ‘diaper’, 3 little angel photo face magnets, a couple of vellum ‘candle wraps’ that literally make photographs glow and four different scrapbook pages. Author, Sandy Redburn explains it was time to revise the books to tie in with their new line of stickers by artist Suzanne Carillo and to showcase more of the creative possibilities the books offer.

The beginning of the book explains how the right expressions can create warmth, personality and convey a special message. Then you get tips and ideas for hand lettering, tracing, photocopying, clipart techniques, and different ways to utilize the book with your computer to create scrapbook pages, cards, crafts and keepsakes. Scrapbooking has become the most popular way to use the books, because you can simply trace or copy any expression or design on vellum or paper and mat it to a scrapbook page or card.

The expressions are different in each book, but they are divided into a large variety of favorite themes and alphabetically tabbed in the top right corner for quick reference. Themes include Angels & Fairies, Babies, Blessings, Christmas, Country, Critters, Family, Fishing, Friendship, Funny Bones, Gardening, Golfing, Halloween, Hobbies, Home, Housework Stinks, Inspirations, Kitchen Quips, Love, Memory Lane, Over The Hill, Profound Proverbs, Sports, Summer Fun and Teddy Bears. You will find everything from heartfelt sentiments, mushy love stuff, inspirational quotes, to feel good sayings and funny quips.

Fans of the previous 2 "Heartwarming Expressions for Crafting..." will not be disappointed in this third volume. I loved the new entries on the past themes and also enjoyed the 2 NEW themes: "Profound Proverbs" and "Photo Quips". This is a 'must-have' for all crafters who like to add a message to their products! I'm looking forward to the next and the next and the next....

I love this book. I will never be at a loss for words, titles or sayings again. Great for a scrapbooker, card maker or even a general crafter.
The best thing about all these books is there is a lot of content so, you will never run out of creative ideas ... all you need is your imagination and a Heartwarming Expressions Book.
