I have been scrapping for a long time and I have read many books and magazines about it. This book is great because it shows really simple yet interesting scrap pages to inspire you when you do not have hours to dedicate to working on a page. Many books have such over done pages with lots of embellishments and decorations on the page. My style is simple and elegant and this is a wonderful book to help me create those types of pages. I scrap a bit at a time because my schedule is so busy. If I could not do a page in an hour or so I would never scrap at all. This is not an instruction book it is an inspiration book for experienced scrappers who like a simple look.

I LOVE this book. It has become my personal scrapbooking bible. It is just filled to the brim with layout ideas, techniques, embellishment examples and more. Best of all, everything is so easy (and quick) you'll have your pages done in no time.

What I've learned to do is scrapbook in steps. I decide what I'm going to scrap (say, a trip to San Diego), how many pages (one or two - or more) and which photos I'm going to use. Then I consult my Quick & Easy book and decide which layout(s) to try with it. From there I just choose my paper and go from there! I have not been anything less than thrilled with how they come out when using this book's formulas.

This is a great book if you've scrapped before. Lots of colorful layouts that are simple to create without a lot of directions. However, if you need step by step instructions, this is not the book for you. It's more for those who can look at a layout and recreate it.

Overwhelmed by the amount of pictures you need to scrap? Wondering where in the heck you'll find the time to complete them all? Wonder no more...Memory Makers has come to the rescue! In this comprehensive and layout laden book of quick and easy ideas, you'll find tips for design, layout, and embellishment of your pages that will take less than an hour, but make it look as though you spent days laboring over your work. With ideas for borders, mats, lettering, paper tearing, stitching, stamping, and so much more, you'll whiz through your pictures and come up with an absolutely beautiful album.

The pages in this book are really great and they are really easy. I am fairly new to scrapbooking and even I could make these pages in no time at all. A great purchase!

Anyone who's new to or intimidated by scrapbooking will benefit from this well-done book. Next to "SCRAPS: Adventures in Scrapbooking" it's my wife's new favorite.

This is a great book for those that want to learn the basics of scrapbooking. Every beginner should have it.

I ordered this book after reading all the great reviews, and I was disappointed. I was expecting 100 layout ideas that I could use as a starting point for my own layouts. Yes, there are 100 layouts in the book, but it is a VERY, VERY basic book, and the layouts are VERY simplified. It's pretty much a resource for beginners on how to use basic products and how to journal. I'll be giving this away to a newer scrapbooker.

I'm a beginner but I'm an addict and this book was not helpful at all. It is all about the doo dads and the add ons, and there were very few layouts that had more than two photos on the page. I am more interested in simple, clean (and easy and quick) layouts where the photos are the focus. This book was not the book for that. The sequel which I bought at the same time was a bit better, so if you're still considering this book at least buy the sequel.

Not as many good ideas. I was hoping for 100 different layout options, but it was ways to use layout, embellishments, etc, not just layouts. Book was kind of cheesy
