3.0 out of 5 stars
A Trusted Resource Offers Inspiration,
By MacJohnston (Windermere, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting the Most from Your Scrapbook Tools (Memory Makers) (Paperback)
Memory Makers is a well known name in scrapbooking as their magazine is one of the firsts in the industry. The folks at Memory Makers have a reputation to maintain, which they clearly understand. The concept behind this book is to offer ideas and inspiration to get you to look at your collected tools with a fresh eye. As the craft of scrapbooking progresses and new trends emerge, a common problem is to have an array of tools that seem old and boring. This book is designed to show you how a number of tools you already own can be used to provide fresh results. For the beginner scrapbooker, this book will offer the justification for buying those supplies you've been coveting. You'll find a second project idea for almost every tool you want to purchase. For the experienced scrapper (6 years for me) this book may be a disappointment if you expect too much. Of course, a lot depends on whether you own the particular tools they are showcasing and what your scrapbooking style is. In my instance, I found about 50% of the book offered me ideas I had not imagined. And that's not bad, but admit I was looking for more from such a trusted source. This book is well photographed with clearly understood directions for duplicating the projects.

This review is from: Getting the Most from Your Scrapbook Tools (Memory Makers) (Paperback)
One of the reasons I enjoy Memory Makers magazine is the same reason I love this book. When they show you anything from a layout to a technique, they always have clear instructions in how to accomplish it. Some of the more popular books, magazines, etc. spend more time in telling which products are used and not how to use the items to create.
This book is beautifully photographed and contains updated uses for most tools you may have or intend to buy. All of the instructions are clear and accurate. Granted, I have been scrapping for about a year and some of this may not be as fresh and new to long timers as it is to me. Still, because of the reasons I mentioned, I believe this one deserves the 5 stars for rating. It is obvious that the authors of the articles contained within this book know their stuff.

This review is from: Getting the Most from Your Scrapbook Tools (Memory Makers) (Paperback)
I've just gotten into scrapbooking, and was a bit confused by some of the tools and materials on the market. This book provides a good review of scrapbooking tools and their use. Most of this material is taken for granted in magazines, and this book fills in the gaps.
