This book is a great tool for beginners. It has a bit about everything from techniques, to page layouts, along with before & after examples that shouw design principles. I borrowed this book from the library and found it such a great guide book - I bought it!

Good for New Scrapper, Better for Advanced Scrapper,
This review is from: Mastering Scrapbook Page Design with Michele Gerbrandt (Paperback)
This is a very good book for any level of scrapbooker with lots of good, basic information on color theory and layout design. I think a beginning scrapbooker can get a lot of good information about how to create a layout - but this book does not discuss how to organize photos, journal or create an album - so it is not a good "how-to" book. I would try the Scrapbooking for Dummies, etc. series if you want to learn how to scrapbook from a book or look-up a local Creative Memories consultant. This book is better used to inspire and trouble shoot. I often refer to this book when I am working on a layout and something is not quite right, but I'm not sure what. Reading this book usually helps me figure out the best color schemes to use or how to establish a focal point for my layout. In addition, the layouts are really good, with up to date product lists.

This review is from: Mastering Scrapbook Page Design with Michele Gerbrandt (Paperback)
I have been making digital scrapbook pages for the past 2 years. I bought this book as part of a three book deal from a book club and I absolutely love it! It teaches you how to evaluate your pictures and choose the best possible layouts and color for them. It even has before and after pictures of pages and gives reason what made them better so you can see the rules and logic applied. Before I had several pages that I really was proud of, but now my pages really stand out and I'm getting better everyday! It made me go back and redo some previous pages that just didn't seem to work.
