5.0 out of 5 stars Best scrapbooking book I've seen - full of inspiration!, September 5, 2001

By	yarden "yarden" (portland, or) - See all my reviews

I've read a great number of books about scrapbooking, but this book is absolutely the best one I've seen.

The first part of the book is dedicated to basic scrapbooking technique and tips, and the rest deals with techniques and themes. Beautiful layouts are consistent throughout the whole book, and you'll be inspired by every page. The book features many unique techniques such as kaleidoscoping (I've never seen that anywhere else), as well as many others that are more common, but still done to perfection here (embossing, pin-holing, layering, and many more).

Overall, this book is very good in terms of inspiration, instruction, and ideas. An ideal gift for an aspiring scrapbooker, or a veteran who could use a few new tricks.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm so inspired!, January 11, 2001

By	Debby Brauer (Palatine, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I borrowed this book from the library and I couldn't put it down! The pages shown are beautiful, and most look attainable, even to a beginner like myself. There isn't an excess of text, which I liked (I own another scrapbooking book that is so chatty that I wonder when we'll get to the scrapbooking!). But, several of the more advanced techniques are described in more detail. Now that I've read it, I'm going to buy it for continuing inspiration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, but most ideas are from past mag issues, December 12, 2000

By	Jeannine Buckenmyer "jeannineb" (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This is a great book , especially for a beginner, BUT if you are a subscriber to Memory Makers magazine and have most of the past issues, you might be disappointed because a major portion of the layouts and ideas are from past issues of the magazine. I give it 4 stars because it does have beautiful layouts and many good scrapbook ideas for someone not familiar with Memory Makers magazine
