52 More Scrapbooking Challenges exceeded my expectations. I have been scrapbooking for three or four years and have felt stagnant lately. When I ordered this book I had no idea it would be so inspiring. The challenges are interesting and the pictures are beautiful. It's a visual joy. Great for all level of scrapbookers.

This is a great book for new and advanced scrapbookers alike! Many ideas to choose from and learn from! For me as a beginner, it has wonderful ideas for me to use and learn from! I also love the artist, Elizabeth Kartchner, from the Creating Keepsakes articles she does! You won't be sorry if you get this book!

I bought this book the day it came out and it is filled to the brim with inspiring layouts and ideas. If you've been scrapbooking awhile you probably feel like you've seen it all, but Elizabeth Kartchner brings everything to a new level.

Buy it, you'll love it!

I purchased Elsie Flannigan's original "52 Scrapbooking Challenges" and loved it, so I had a feeling this one was going to be great as well. I was not disappointed. Elizabeth Kartchner has created the most beautiful layouts and has given great direction in challenging scrapbookers to go a little further in their scrapbooking. The other contributors to the book have designed very nice layouts as well, but Elizabeth's are my favorites, by far! The big highlight of the book (for me) is how Elizabeth teaches technique on some of her signature design elements, thanks!

Best Buy in years!
Lizzy is really a great scrapper.
Her LO's are completely amazing.
The techniques are grate.
Worth each cent.

I received this book really fast from Amazon and I love it. Each page in the book has lots of ideas and it has been really helping me scrapbook better.

I received this book yesterday and immediately started looking through it. As a brand new scrapbooker, I believe it's important for a book to get your creativity flowing. This book goes way beyond a normal how-to book. It challenges you to take inspiration from daily things and gives examples of what the author (love her!) and other contributors did. I can honestly say that the scrapbook page I created last night is leaps and bounds more creative because it was based on one of the ideas in this book. Bravo to Lizzy for being upbeat, honest, and admitting that even she sometimes feels uncreative... and for giving beautiful examples on how to kick start your creativity. I've been scrapbooking for about 6 months and have TONS to learn. This book isn't going to tell you to cut a 4X6 piece of patterned paper, place embellishments in exact places or give you specific patterns to follow. However it IS going to get you to focus on what makes scrapbooking so enjoyable - and that is how to combine artistic elements, photos, and journaling to make a page that will be significant FOR YOU - which makes it a great book for advanced scrapbookers, too. For even more awesome ideas, Lizzy has a very cool blog.

I bought this for a friend who loves scrapbooking and has various books on the subject. She is very impressed with this book as it has provided ideas for her that she had not considered. Well put together with good illustrations but not too technical.

Elizabeth Kartchner is a very talented scrapbooker and I loved this book. Her layouts are magnificient and the book is beautifully written. personally I find the cover of the book to be 'not nice at all' so I was relucant to purchase the book. I still dislike the cover but everything else is absolutley wonderful.

Lizzy is so talented. I couldn't wait for the release of this book. The pages are so colorful and will inspire anyone to create. She teaches us how to use our everyday life to create original masterpieces to be enjoyed for a lifetime.
