Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Doodling is the hottest thing in scrapbooking and Maelynn Cheung is all over it. Her book gives step-by-step, fear-banishing instructions for putting your unique mark on all your papercraft projects.
You'll learn different doodling techniques and designs, what tools are necessary (and what aren't, but are a lot of fun), and how to easily adjust your handwriting to make it more artsy.
And if the idea of taking a pen to one of your pages makes you nervous, just wait until you get a look at all the projects inside. Each of these fantastic doodling designs was created--not by professional in-house designers--but by actual papercrafters just like you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put that "doodle" to work!, September 28, 2007

By	Barbara Rhoades "Jackie of all Trades" (O'Fallon, MO USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Maelynn Cheung explains what a doodle is and how it can help you make wonderfully creative scrapbook pages. She talks about all the types of pencils, pens and markers and some extras you can have in your supplies.

This 96 page book has loads of projects with lots of photos. The book doesn't just describe scrapbook pages, it goes on to show other things you can use doodles on such as tote bags, cards, invitations, photo frames, gift bags and a keepsake box.

The doodles begin simply and as you progress through the book, they grow more intricate. As each new technique is shown, it is broken down so you can follow how to create it. After you get proficient at the doodle, several projects are shown using that doodle.

If you love to doodle, then this is a way to use that ability.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING BOOK, October 7, 2007

By	Joyday (Iowa) - See all my reviews

Whoever said there were no step by step instructions, obviously was so mesmerized by the photographs she couldn't see the text. There are very detailed instructions along with diagrams to show exactly how to doodle. Ok not every teeny tiny doodle made on the layouts is explained, but some things just don't need explaining. Go through the book, try the doodles in order, and by the end of the book you will have confidence to doodle on your projects and you will be amazed at what you can do with a pen. Then go back through and look at the layouts that don't have "instructions" and I bet you can figure it out. The book is beautiful, it is organized and easy to follow. Well worth the money. I cant believe how much I am saving on rubons, and other fancy things I no longer need because I doodle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Inspiration, September 21, 2007

By	Gabrielle McCann "gabmc" (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book came with recommendations from a friend and I was not disappointed at all. I'm not a good drawer/doodler/artist, but there are step by step instructions for all the different doodlig techniques and the LOs are so inspiring that I had to give it a try
