5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best ... IMO, October 13, 2007
By 
Marsha L. Mcginnis "Marsha" (Victorville, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Life Artist (Paperback)
Ali's new book is the book that I've been waiting for. She gives you permission to do things your way, then gives you page after page of inspiration that literally has you bursting at the seams to get busy and create. Notice I didn't use the words "scrap" or "crop". There is nothing wrong with those words, but that's not what this book is all about. The title: "Life Artist" is perfect. Each chapter is another step toward encouraging you to let go of perfection and formulas - - - encouraging you to tell your own story in words and pictures. Her introduction tells about her own journey and how she decided that "life artist" more accurately discribed what it was that she did. The first chapter: "IT IS OK" reminded me of the phrase I often use "It just doesn't matter!" A mantra I started repeating to myself when I started "doing it over until it was RIGHT".
If you're in the mood for something that will free up your personal creativity - then you will love this book.
I absolutely give it my highest endorsement!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Ali book, November 13, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Life Artist (Paperback)
Kudos to Ali for another great book. If you are looking for a book on the premise of her first two though, you may be surprised. It's not like the other two previous books where she instructs you on how to do this or that...this is more of what I would call a pep talk book that tells you it's OK to do things your way...it's OK for things not to be perfect...to creat YOUR way, and not another's way. That it's more important to tell your life's story than to worry about perfection. I love Ali's philosophy and how she shows that in her work...if you love her philosophy of "It's OK" and "Embrace Imperfection" you will love this book. And still many many great layouts to make you want to run to your craft table and make something. If you feel in a rut or feel that your art isn't quite good enough...Ali's book may just be the pep talk you need!

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenges your thinking, October 30, 2007
This review is from: Life Artist (Paperback)
This book is fantastic but don't expect step-by-step instructions on how to recreate Ali's projects. This book will challenge your perception on scrapbooking as a form of art and creativity. She offers tons of challenges in the book that are inspiring and freeing if you try them. The book challenges us to step away from Creative Memories formulas and try anything and everything in your scrapbook/mini book/wall art.

Buy this book, read it and be inspired. You absolutely won't be disappointed.
