This book inspired me to finally organize my boxes and boxes of pictures. I have three kids, and all of the past 10 years of photos were in file boxes. I hadn't even put my wedding photos from 18 years ago in an album. This book helped me figure out some themes for albums and some completely new ways to embellish and enrich the pages. I even made each daughter her own scrapbook of baby pictures, complete with locks of hair, baby teeth and foot prints. They just love them.

This was a Christmas Gift. It is awesome. I am just starting and it explains everything. If you are an experienced scrap booker, this is probably not the book for you, but if you are a newbee like me, go for it!

The book was in excellent shape. I love it and look at it often. Thank you so much. I received it in a timely amount of time as well.

Thanks again.

A very very good book even if you are a seasoned scrapbooker you will pick up many ideas or refresh ideas that you may have forgotten

As a beginning scrapbooker, I bought this book after seeing it at the library. This book takes you step by step through the process of creating scrapbook pages that are original, easy and fun. It is full of information on all aspects of scrapbooking - supply selection, money saving ideas and artistic guidance. The ideas in this book can also be applied to cardmaking. There are so many ideas and techniques filling this book that I know I will use it for years to come.

Although I have been scrapping for a few years, I found this to be a valuable resource. Don't be fooled by the title... it's not just for beginners. The format of the book is simple with what I call "idea launch pads". The book gets you started when you feel stumped!

I own many books on scrapbooking techniques and this is by far the best!
It is very detailed in it's explanation. A must if you are new to scrapbooking and a great addition to your techniques if you are an experienced scrapbooker.
