5.0 out of 5 stars A True Delight!, June 16, 2006

By	Linda Woods "Author of JOURNAL REVOLUTION and... - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was absolutely delighted by this book! The unique (and fun!) projects in Artful Memories burst off the pages with bright, juicy colors. The instructions are easy to follow and their "make it yours" suggestions are clever and really got me thinking about my household items that are just waiting to be painted, collaged, and embellished with my own memories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Artsy and fun, February 26, 2007

By	Jennifer Cushman (Arizona) - See all my reviews

I picked up Artful Memories because I know of Carol and Tena's work. They are incredible instructors and have quite a faithful following of fans. I love the cover of this book and so many of the projects. This honestly is one of my favorite books that I turn to when I need to spark my creative juices for my scrapbooking/altered art. I can't wait to see their newest book, Lifelines, when it comes out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life as Art, January 30, 2007

By	Donna V. (Oregon) - See all my reviews

This book takes the fun and color of the scrapbook through your whole house! The authors have a sense of humor and write with intimacy, so you enjoy the book, not just looking at the pictures. The projects are well-explained and DO-able! I met Carol Wingert at the CHA convention, and she is so generous and friendly.
