5.0 out of 5 stars The best book of scrapbooking I've found, August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Scrapbooking with Memory Makers (Hardcover)

I have been looking for quality scrapbooking idea books. This is the best one I've found. It has many wonderful ideas for scrapbook pages and doesn't try to sell any specific companys products. If you want a great idea book, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Book!, February 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Scrapbooking with Memory Makers (Hardcover)

I'm new at scrapbooking and this is a great book which inspired me to set goals for myself! It offers ideas from beginners to advanced, and I'm definately going to try my hand at some of the advanced! It also gives wonderful descriptions of what you should and shouldn't use in a scrapbook. Plus, it helps you to decide what direction to go in for specific themes! Everyone who scrapbooks should own this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars a good starting point you'll quickly pass, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Scrapbooking with Memory Makers (Hardcover)

This book has good advice and very nice illustrations. But it suffers from trying to do too many things and none of them in sufficient depth. I do like the pages shown, but the book doesn't have enough illustrations to be a really useful source of inspiration -- you'd be better off with one of those ``515 Ideas'' or ``200 Layouts'' books or a website. As for its tips on how to use products, all you really need to grasp is that you should use archival materials, and after that you'll learn more in half an hour just browsing through the products at any decent-sized crafts store. I strongly recommend reading this book, but -- well, does Amazon allow us to suggest borrowing from the library?
