5.0 out of 5 stars It was just what I was looking for!!!, January 30, 2006

By	Kathryn Ozan (Clovis, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book/magazine was just what I was looking for. I was looking for something with lots of good ideas to create my own wedding album. And his book has just that-- tons of great ideas. There are a lot of scrapbooking magazines with great ideas but this one is just wedding ideas. I would suggest this book to all brides who want to create a special scrapbook to remember their special day.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Glorified, Overpriced Magazine, January 31, 2007

By	My Name Is Daisy (US) - See all my reviews

I assumed, given the price and the title, that this was a book of wedding scrapbook ideas rather than a magazine brimming with advertisements. However, it was the latter. In fact, it seemed like there were almost as many pages of ads as there were pages with actual content, which, sadly, wasn't all that impressive because most of the layouts looked too common to be wedding scrapbook caliber designs. My standards might be a bit too high, but I have no intention of slapping a wedding scrapbook together haphazardly. After all, I have no intention of getting married more than once, and I'd like to design a keepsake that reflects my love for my future husband and, with any luck, properly showcases the beauty that is our love.

If you haven't got a clue what to put into a wedding scrapbook, The Big Idea "Book" of Wedding Memories will give you a few ideas such as journaling, a wedding memorabilia checklist, photos that have scrapbooking potential, etc. It also gives you the basic rundown of tools & supplies, as well as providing plenty of advertisements for dealers of scrapbooking supplies (around three dozen, most of which have full page ads). The layouts within were submitted by readers of Creating Keepsakes Magazine though, so don't expect anything too terribly professional in that arena.

All in all, it wouldn't be a horrible purchase if you could find it for a couple of dollars, but the fact remains that it's little more than a glorified, overpriced magazine, which contains simple, often gaudy looking reader submitted layouts and far too many advertisements.
