Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The authors are building a web site that will add an interactive element to this project, allowing readers to post their "answers" to each of the dares in the book.

Scrapbookers are always looking for ways to push their art, and participating in challenges is one great way to do that. The most popular and inspiring challenges are the "dares" that the authors of this book post on their blog and on Two Peas in a Bucket. These dares explore more than just trendy new materials, they get to the heart of the participants with challenges that really make them think--about what makes them happy or proud or filled with regret. In this book, the authors will develop new dares (only a handful of the dares will have appeared before: two are the most compelling from online and six are online favorites that have been given new spins). Each dare will be answered by at least three of the twelve participating artists and will include a story behind the page so that readers can learn how the pages relate to the dare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best scrapbooking book out there, November 10, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
From the moment I picked up this book I was hooked. I sat and read not only the text, but all the journaling on all the pages. This is the stuff of real life - sorrows, joys, passions, disappointments. As a single woman with no children I relished the diary-like pages with contemporary layouts. It's perfect for any scrapbooker who wants to go beyond kid and family pages to something more personal and reflective of her (or his) self.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone., February 2, 2008
By Lois Lain (San Francisco Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews
  
I have been scrapbooking for over a decade, and it's fun to see the new turn that the hobby has taken. As it appeals to a wider audience of people, we'll continue to see more diversity and differences in style... and that's a good thing.

That said, this book is not for everyone -- and it is not for me.

I consider myself an out-of-the-box scrapbooker, meaning I'm always willing to try something new and shake things up a bit. But I agree with others who find this book to be unappealing. I would have liked to see the Dares undertaken by a wider variety of scrapbookers, not just "throw all the stuff I can find on the page and try to make it cool and urban hip." As a result, it is very trendy but won't necessariy make it to the "classics" section of a scrapbooker's bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Scrapbooking about the Important Stuff & Stepping outside the box, September 9, 2007
By Allyson Bright Meyer (Iowa City, Iowa) - See all my reviews
I have been eagerly anticipating this book for awhile now. My copy finally arrived today and I'm not disappointed - totally worth the wait. I can't stop flipping through it and am totally inspired.

I love the scrapbook challenges presentd by the authors, particularly the ones about scrapbooking the harder things in life. All of the challenges encourage scrapbookers to record the real things in life, not just holidays & birthday gifts.

So often, when I look at the scrapbook art of others, I am inspired by topic, not just design. And so this book gives me several new ideas for scrapbook pages, which is perfect. It's also inspiring me to revisit some ideas of my own that I've toyed with in the past.

The pages are inspiring, and the art is beautiful.

You won't be disappointed.
