Read the fine print! First off, this book only has 25 pages and is more a pamphlet/booklet than a book at all. The dimensions are small - this staple-bound pamphlet is smaller than your average day planner.

Ok, so I think the saying goes something like "it's not the size of the package, it's how you use it", but when it comes to this book, they've not used what little space there is well at all. It is certainly not chock full of ideas and what die cut patterns are shown are nothing more than what you can buy at your local craft store for $1.00. They're your average, every day die cut designs - nothing to get crazy about and waste your $6.00 on.

If you're a scrapbooker, you must have a little creativity in your blood. Think about it, there's probably something a lot better you can do with your hard earned $6.00, but don't spend it on this one!! There are plenty of other books out there on the subject that may be more expensive, but are worth their weight in gold.

I was very interested in Jill Rinner's "Scrapbooking Made Easy" series of books as I have thoroughly enjoyed her articles in CREATING KEEPSAKES magazine. The "Designer Die Cuts" booklet is jam-packed with creative ideas that would appeal to both advanced and beginning scrapbookers. It was well worth the price and will be a great addition to my scrapbooking library.
