Although I liked the pages in the book, I found myself saying, "I would never have the time to do that." The pages are fun and different, but appear to take a lot of work.

If you do have the time, and are looking for a book with lots of pop-up, 3-D ideas, this is probably a great resource for you. It is organized very well.

I saw a "preview" copy of this book while attending a workshop which was instructed by the author of this book, Sandi Genovese. She showed us the preview copy of the book, and it was soooo good! I own a lot of books on scrapbooking and I must say that other books repeat concepts over and over BUT this book offers a lot of exciting NEW ideas that I haven't seen elsewhere. Besides that, the ideas are organized by technique (not by theme) which makes it really user-friendly. This book will surely inspire you! And if it's any help, the author was such a nice lady!

I'm a beginning scrapper who was overwhelmed by the pages I'd seen in the scrapbook magazines. A friend recommended this book to me and boy did it help. The book is broken down by technique, which is wonderful. I was able to create good looking pages just by following the easy directions.

I was very disappointed in this book. It seems to very outdated, and the ideas presented are not the most creative. Sure, the beginning scrapper could easily copy the layouts in the book, but they don't have that professional look that you expect to see in a scrapbooking book. The book does have a few good tips for beginning scrappers, and it has some patterns of diecuts in the back, which were helpful, however, I wouldn't recommend buying this book for those reasons alone.

I was very disappointed in this book and would not recommend it. There are many more products on the market that are worth your time and money, but pass this one up!

This is a great book for both the beginner and the advanced scrapbookers. There are wonderful examples, plenty of patterns and simple directions. A must have!

This book was not as I expected. It had some ideas if you want to work for awhile. I would not recommend this book to the beginning scrapbooker.

Scrapbooking has come a long way in the last few years, and this book is proof! The samples are too simplistic, the directions are not specific enough, and the lack of ideas for personal creativity is not there. The reader can copy what is given in the book, and is not encouraged how to move on to create a work of art from the given product. Today's embellishments have also come a long way, and not can be seen in the book. A beginner can use the book as a starting point, but after they learn the beginning techniques they must buy a more current book!

I like this book very much , has alot of good idea's in it and lot's of patterns.
It makes alot of cute kids stuff for scrapebooking.It's great for someone just starting scrapebooking .

If you are a beginner scrap-booker this will be helpful to you. I wanted the book, hoping for a "how to" do some of Sandi's uses with the Sizzit Die Cut Machine. It was a little helpful but most of it I already knew.
