This entire series of books "Memories of a Lifetime" is remarkable!! You get ready to use pages for scrapbooking or other craft projects - PLUS, you get a CD in the back of each one with all of the images contained in the books. You can reprint each page exactly as it appears in the book OR you can print the separate components that make up each collage pictured in the book. I have eleven of these books and plan to buy the others. They are amazing to work with. The images are very good quality and are all COPYRIGHT FREE, making them great for resale projects. I just can't say enough about how wonderful these books are. They are well worth the cost.

This book has great color photos of vintage birds and butterflies. It is easy to use and with the cd you can make them any size you want.

I have three of these types of books now. They are perfect for all crafting. I down loaded all the pictures into folders by book and then page so they're easy to find. I use the books as a reference to find the clip art. My reason for 4 stars is several little flaws. The clip art on the cover of Birds and Butterflies isn't offered in the book, not any part of it. I thought that was strange as when you go online that is all you have to view so it should be included.

In Lace Images, Memories of a Lifetime series, the clip art isn't always individual or whole. There is a beautiful example in the Gallery of Ideas of four ladies in hats they fused onto fabric and made into a greeting card. The four ladies are only available with lace border on the sides and a calling card on the bottom, all overlapping their hair and clothes. I worked for 45 minutes removing the lace and cloning the dresses and hair back onto the ladies. In other books, they offer the art separated.

My favorite is French Pages by Instant Memories. As someone mentioned, the card stock is heavier quality. But for me, the images are all individual. Where their example for use is overlapped, you still get the whole image to use your way. Love this book. There are vintage ladies in black and white that I colored lightly to look like water color. Beautiful and easy to use.

I'm looking forward to getting more of these CD's. You won't be disappointed which ever one you get.

Happy crafting.

I have purchased all the books in the Memories of a Lifetime series. This is the best one, but they are all great. The images can be used for so many crafts and projects. Definiately a great buy and a resource that will be used many, many times.

Really nice, the CD lets you pick up the elements you want and use them.

smooth glossy prints though, so the CD does come in handy. As is probably true of the originals, you can see the pixels in the prints sometimes.

The instant memories French pages book has thicker cardstock glossy pages, and slightly higher resolution photos.

glad to be able topick up an issue that I had missed. hIghly recommended for the casual or serious craftsperson or artist

was disappointed in the number & size of the bird photos....they were small and really not very many of the bird pictures.....
