If you are looking for a book that gives you instructions on how to add type layouts to your work, this is not the book for you. It is mainly a collection of page layouts and creative ideas however it doesn't offer any lessons on how to execute "getting creative" type in your layouts. Of the 2-3 three tip pages they did include, the steps were incomplete and left out key steps to get the desired result. This is one of the poorest books I have ever purchased in terms of learning something new.

When I opened this book I thought it had some cute ideas but I was dissapointed because I thought this book would be helpful like the other Creating Keepsakes digital books (Computer Tricks 1,2, and 3 by Jessica Sprague). The directions are very vague and unless you know Photoshop program like the back of your hand you will not be able to perform the projects... I tried to email creating keepsakes for some helpful tips on a specific project but heard no reply.. Save your money and buy the other books which are terrific...

The included CD with this book has font that is ok. My own handwriting is actually better. The attached files on CD also needs Photo Shop. I do like the books as read though.

This book has everything I expected. Great scrapbook layouts, fun information, useful CD, and some insights into producing great titles and journaling.

This book is very clever. There are so many good ideas for scrapbooking, cards, and other paper crafts using fonts, style, placement, and size. Very creative!

I normally pass my books onto friends after I've tried the layouts I tagged, but this one sits with my font catalog where I think I'll use it for a long time.
