Must-have for your scrapbooking library,
By
This review is from: Real.Life.Scrapbooking. (Spiral-bound)
Whether you're a new scrapper or a long-time devotee, this book should be on your bookshelf. Rebecca Cooper goes through several elements of scrapbooking, from what to cover, why to document the little things, and how to create eye-catching, simple pages.
Not only are the examples included amazing in their gorgeous simplicity, the journaling she includes on her pages brought me to tears more than once. I appreciate how she covers the good times as well as the not-so-good aspects of family life and parenting. This book will go on my list of must-haves while I'm scrapping, both for the motivation and inspiration, as well as for the examples it provides.

Just as the title says, "Real. Life. Scrapbooking.",

This review is from: Real.Life.Scrapbooking. (Spiral-bound)
I really love this book. As a stay-at-home, I don't have a lot of time or money to spend on my hobby. But I do love scrapbooking and so I make the time to do what I love. Reading this book I really felt like the author feels very much the way I do. A lot of scrapbooking idea books are filled with layouts that are very time consuming and expensive to make. And while that is fun sometimes, it's just simply not always an option. Rebecca's book will help remind you of why you started scrapbooking in the first place. It will help you make the most of your time and supplies by keeping you focused on the real goal of scrapbooking: creating layouts that convey your message about your life for those you love the most.

Enjoyed it but nothing earth-shattering,

This review is from: Real.Life.Scrapbooking. (Spiral-bound)
I enjoyed this book but found myself bored about half way through. I took a step back and tried to see why I felt that way. I realized her layouts contained too many posed photos. As much as I love posed portraits, I find beautiful candids much more exciting. I found that the perfect smiling faces got boring and repetitive. I like her style, but I found I also got got bored with it half-way through. I have seen this same idea and style out in the industry a lot. It seems more appropriate for a series of magazine articles rather than a book on its own. If you don't already subscribe to one or more scrapbook magazines, then you will probably get a lot out of this book, but if you have a shelf-ful of magazines and idea books, I would pass. Or buy it with a 50% off coupon or wait for a really good sale if you HAVE to have it.
