4.0 out of 5 stars VERY creative type ideas..., April 22, 2007

This is a great book. Anyone who looks at my pages knows that I can't scrap without my computer - you'd be VERY hardpressed to find a page that doesn't use a computer font in some way. So, clearly, the computer-related sections of the book seemed most familiar, but I have begun to 'branch out' more in title treatments and such, using stickers, rub ons, etc. more and this book gave me a lot of creative ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars MY NEW LOVE, April 9, 2008

I love this book. I originally purchased it to learn new ways to make my titles/journaling pop. I haven't gotten that far yet. Do not let the Title of the book discourage you. The layouts in this book are fresh, inspiring, and unique. It also tells you whether the lettering/journaling was generated by a computer, stickers, rub-bons, etc. This is well worth money.
