I'm relatively new to scrapbooking and don't have a lot of time to devote to it, so I look for books like this one to help me get ideas and learn new things. I found this particular one to be full of pictures and instructions. It even includes ideas for alternate ways of applying certain techniques - which can help you be more creative on your own. The book is arranged by themes, offering several ideas for each topic. It covers a range of skill levels and refers to a lot of different tools - some of which I didn't know existed. The only reason I don't give a 5 is because some of the topics could use a little more instruction or assume you are using certain tools - which can be VERY expensive for someone who doesn't do this full time.

I recommend this book for anyone who wants to add polish to their pages and give them a more finished look. It worth the $$ for sure.

I'm new to scrapbooking so got this book for ideas. There were few interesting ideas but...
1) Required too many tools and supplies that I didn't have (I already have several hundred $s worth of tool and supplies).
2) Too many steps! The design process seemed too complex. It seemed like it'd take me an hour just to get the first 5 steps done, let alone the remaing 15 steps.
3) The designs weren't to my taste. I thought lot of the designs seem to "folksy" or too busy looking. I prefer more clean and "modern" look.
Overall, I found the book to be more discouraging to a new scrapbooker like me than inspiring.

This book has a bit of basic information on tools and supplies and then has a section on each season showing different borders, corners and titles for each one. The ideas are unique and instructions are given with photos on how to complete each one. I think it is a worthwhile book.

I like scrapbooking but am not interested in this book. I bought based on the descriptions and reviews. Very disappointed in that most of the pages, if not all, have something too thick on them. I like my pages to lay flat and not bulk up my albums. Cute ideas for framing or displays... but a lot of the best parts don't lay flat enough for me and my scrapbook albums. Lots of techniques are shown, but many are also too time-consuming or too involved or, as other said, require too many different materials/tools (thus cost too much) for me. I want cute and quick. Precious yet balanced with my time and effort.

This is a great book for scrapbooking. I have several scrapbooks, and this book is my favorite. The pages are so nicely done, and each page comes with directions, and a supply list of materials you will need to complete the project.

This book is well done! I was excited as I went through the pages of how to do borders, corners and titles. I would never have thought to do my borders and corners the way that was illustrated in this book. It was like, "why didn't I think of this idea". The instructions are easy to follow. So many cute ideas! I will refer to this book often to do corners and borders because I think corners and borders make your page stand out!

I have been scrapbooking for several years and found this book to be a breath of fresh air for me. I love borders, but never seem to come up with enough ideas on my own to make them look truly creative. Some of the ideas in this book are quite time consuming others,simple and fairly quick. I like using both depending on how much time I have to scrap,how creative I am feeling or how special the pictures I am using are. I have really enjoyed using this book for layouts with my Grandchildren. I would definitely recomend this book to those who love borders!

I was hoping this book had more pizzazz to it, but was disappointed in the majority of the boarders. The instructions and the templates were very well written, but not a book for the beginner for certain. I just thought the book was dull.

I am not yet qualified to review this book. I scanned it, was somewhat pleased with the content and put it up on my bookshelf to be used in the future.
