From Booklist

A hobby that's fast turned into an obsession imitates some of the best features of graphic design. Today, scrapbooking stores crop up quickly in metropolitan neighborhoods, catering to the need to chronicle, remember, and savor make-them-tangible events. Here, one entry in a series from Memory Makers zeroes in on holidays, mainly those celebrated in the U.S and on religious occasions, but also Canada Day and a few recent additions, such as Grandparent's Day. The showcased pages are very personal, with crafters sharing both the inspiration and the moment, along with a list of materials and quick how-tos. Within every one of the 21 holidays is a design tip or two (for instance, incorporate oval shapes in the pages that represent Easter) as well as facts and legends, whether it's a twentieth-century piece of data (President Jimmy Carter declared Grandparent's Day a national holiday in 1978) or a wonderful historical story, such as the naming of Valentine's Day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Inspired for Scrapbooking, January 9, 2008

This review is from: Celebrating Holidays Scrapbook-Style: 250 Sensational Page Ideas You Can Create (Memory Makers) (Paperback)

This book's focus is holiday themed pages and there's a wealth of sample pages to spark your creativity (250 to be exact). It provided inspiration as I worked on a gift scrapbook for my sister.
Each page shows several scrapbook pages with a holiday theme (Christmas, Easter, etc.) and tells how the effects were achieved. I didn't copy any, though you could, but just soaked up ideas on layout, colors, lettering, journaling, etc.
When I laid out my Thanksgiving and Christmas pages, they were some of the best I assembled.
Besides the obvious holidays, the book includes others such as Canada Day, Yom Kippur, Father's Day, and others.
