A fresh new dimension in scrapbooking. This book lets crafters of all levels celebrate their memories with scrapbook albums using the hottest new materials and techniques.

This book has depth! I am always on the lookout for new scrapbook ideas. As soon as I saw this book I was sold on it. Not only do the authors present beautifully designed scrapbook pages, but their ingenuity with the use of classic scrapbook items as well as clever, new objects and items is so refreshing. Push through to the next scrapbooking level! It's easy with this book to inspire and guide you.

Virtually the only book on embellishing scrapbooks you will ever need. I know, as I have most of them, but it is all here, and in more unusual ways than you ever saw things used. If this craft is your interest, this book is a must. Beg, borrow, buy or steal a copy (but not mine, I need it!).

5.0 out of 5 stars A visual treat with great ideas, April 12, 2008

This review is from: Scrapbooking Plus!: More Than Just Paper (Paperback)

It seems that creativity has gone the way of the digital realm - computer-generated photographs, painting and countless varieties of artistic media are displayed in a one-dimensional format on the screen of a personal computer. That's why it is so refreshing to see a three-dimensional book address project crafts, especially in the realm of scrapbooking.

Scrapbooking has been around for ages, but never has it been more formalized than in contemporary times. In Scrapbooking Plus! More Than Just Paper, Kathleen and Nick Greco have assembled a collection of creative approaches to preserving memories. It offers over 60 projects with clear, step-by step techniques that allow for individual ingenuity, and a variety of materials are peppered throughout to encourage originality and thoughtfulness.

Scrapbooking Plus! is also a visual treat. The photographs of scrapbooking examples are colorful, inspired and inventive. Techniques are straightforward and user-friendly. What's more, the layouts presented are fresh for either a novice scrapbooker or a seasoned crafter. What a wonderful way to preserve those memories!

Armchair Interview agrees.
