If you, like me, still haven't placed your wedding photos in a nice scrapbook after 20 years, this book will give you reason to be glad you procrastinated. The editors of Memory Makers have gathered elegant layouts to inspire you to create your own wedding scrapbook. Planning both your album AND your wedding to best advantage for later scrapbooks are included. The layouts showcase a variety of styles and techniques, with many lovely punch art and die cut designs, as well as more unusual techniques, such as stained glass type designs.

I especially like the emphasis this book places on journaling and creative ways to include the stories behind the photos and memorabilia. The content is comprehensive, suggesting that we think not only of showcasing the big day itself, but all events related to it, including engagement, showers, dress shopping and the honeymoon. I especially enjoyed one layout that chronicled the photo shoot for the engagement picture. When I looked at that one, I said to myself, "Yes, only a scrapper would think to have someone take photos of the photographer taking photos!"

I have been married more than five years, and am still assembling my wedding scrapbook (other projects, work and children keep taking priority). Over the years, I have assembled quite a number of books and magazine articles about wedding pages. This book is my number one reference - the one I keep coming back to.

Other books will show you pages that can be done more quickly, but is that what you want to do for one of the landmark events of your life? Not every page in my scrapbook will look like the ones in this book. But, it's nice to know that at least a few of the pages were labors of love inspired by some very artistic people.

If you have only one or two pages in your wedding album that are as attractive as the ones in this book, it will have been worth the purchase.

I have one of my pages featured in the book so, of course, I liked it:) It's not one of the books that I would most highly recommend though. Many of the ideas are over-the-top (including mine) for beginners. When I show beginning croppers the pages they get that glossy-eyed "I can't do that" look. Great for experienced people, but I don't recommend it for newbies or people who want simple pages.
