By A Customer

I have been looking for quality scrapbooking idea books. This is the best one I've found. It has many wonderful ideas for scrapbook pages and doesn't try to sell any specific companys products. If you want a great idea book, this is it.

I'm new at scrapbooking and this is a great book which inspired me to set goals for myself! It offers ideas from beginners to advanced, and I'm definately going to try my hand at some of the advanced! It also gives wonderful descriptions of what you should and shouldn't use in a scrapbook. Plus, it helps you to decide what direction to go in for specific themes! Everyone who scrapbooks should own this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to Scrapbooking!, April 3, 2002

By	Soozie4Him (Chicago suburbs) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

For someone just getting into Scrapbooking, this is a wonderful book. The pictures are gorgeous, and the authors give a good general introduction to the supplies you will need, and the techniques you will use.

They even have an index where you can see exactly what products were used in the pictured lay-outs.

What really got me to buy this book was the 3 templates in a pocket in the back of the book! There are 2 L-shaped rulers with all kinds of neat shapes/letters, etc, and interesting borders and corner designs to use in your scrapbook.

A bonus: a card entitling you to a free issue of "Memory Makers Magazine". All in all, an excellent deal!
