5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Book, February 21, 2009

By	imagineer586 (Lakewood, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Fabulous Frames is a fabulous book. It gives detailed instructions on creating each frame and the instructions are easy to follow.

The book also gives you a few alternative ideas for each frame which stimulates the imagination to other possible ideas.

Overall, I thought this book was fabulous for beginners and ameteur crafters.
