Her style is towards the very ornate and elegant. The projects and ideas in this book are just gorgeous and impressive while being very simple to make, do and adapt.

It's a lovely book printed in full color throughout, and it's very inspiring.

The first chapter is about making a nice place to create in. Her studio is gorgeous and her ideas for organizing supplies is inspiring and lovely. From crystal dishes and spoons filled with glitter to old cupcake tins with natural weathering to keep beads in, there are some wonderful ideas for making your work space beautiful and functional.

The first few projects deal with sparkle and shine, detailing several ways to add sparkle to projects. Detailing how add glitter edging, completely covering things in glitter, adding subtle touches to patterned paper, using mica, wire and other embellishments. My favorite projects in that chapter are the shiny alphas which put me in mind of holiday decorator accents and the wire spray of flowers made with beads and wire.

The next chapter is paint and ink, with instructions for using chalks, waxes, and alcohol based permanent inks. This chapter is full of ideas that I'd never thought of. I've used waxes to refinish vintage frames for hanging in my house but never thought of them for smaller frames for paper crafts. The crackle paint distressed letters are lovely. My favorite in this chapter though hands down is the texture paste design which creates an embossed image that's accented with glitter and crystals.

Pattern and Texture come next, also full of wonderful ideas. My favorite in that chapter are the crepe paper rosettes and the miniature banner which I really plan on using very soon. The ruffle edging project would be amazing in a bridal card or a baby shower project.

The last chapter, Vintage Finds is full of ideas for little trinkets, old buttons and things of that nature. The button bouquet would be a lovely dimensional accent to a scrapbook cover or a box using buttons from favorite clothes. The vintage paper leaves are a nice idea for old books.

The whole book is amazing, cover to cover, with ample examples of what can be done with the basic techniques.

No precut/preassembled stickers, no premade embellishments. YOU make the beauty with your own hands and Lisa helps you with step-by-step instructions. Her book contains techniques that you can use in scrapbooking, card making and decorations for the home. Lisa's the real deal when it comes to 'hand-made'.

This book is pure eye candy.
The projects are over the top cool...but with Lisa's clear instructions & great photos...you can easily follow along & make these projects.

It's loaded with inspiration and I know I'll refer to it often.

If you LOVE Lisa's style...shabby, chic, vintage & BEAUTIFUL...this is a MUST HAVE purchase.

This book is so full of beautiful projects, wonderful techniques, and stunning photos of Lisa's scrap space. Great inspiration abounds.

This book has very nice step-by-step instructions that can be applied to lots of other projects. The resource guide in the back is wonderful. I've discovered a typo for the German Corner LLC company. While their URL of [...] is correct their phone number was listed incorrectly. The correct number is 888-393-0402, as listed on their website.

This is my first mixed media book. The moment I opened this book I fell in love with it. I have a friend that keeps trying to get me involved in mixed media. I told her I wanted to create something for my mom's memory. I lost mom last year, and the projects in this book are what got me into doing the project.This is the best book I have ever seen and worked with. Highly recommend this, you too will love it.

With so many technique books out there, I hesitated to buy another one and risk looking at the same information just repeated in a different artist's style. This book goes beyond that. There are new techniques to explore and each comes with clear directions and photographs that make the process easy to understand and the results look beautiful. Delight in the Details is full of inspirational ideas that you can tailor to fit your own style. You'll be sure to come up with a million new ideas of your own to try.

If you're into vintage, this book is a real treat. Even if you're not, it's great for simple techniques that you can do without a large investment that will make your scrapbook pages and home decor items special. Lisa Pace's directions and photos make lots of projects easy and you'll take away loads of inspiration. I also like the index of sources in the back. Lots of places to go to for specific crafting products. It'll stay on my shelf as a sourcebook that I know I'll use. Great purchase.

Over the top pictures and detailed easy to follow instructions. Well worth the purchase price.

I've had this book for about a month now, and I've looked at it so many times I almost know it by heart! The embellishments are beautiful- they can be as simple or as over-the-top as you choose to make them. I love that most of the supplies can be found pretty much anywhere as I live in a very small town with no craft supply stores within 2 hours. My teenage daughter is obsessed with anything vintage, so I was hoping she'd find something in this book to inspire her, and she did! She's actually made plans to stay home this weekend to work on some projects from this book! So we get to spend a few hours together doing projects to help her preserve memories from her senior year before she goes off to college next year! And I have no doubts that our projects will be beautiful thanks to this book!
