5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing - CZ Rocks!, May 2, 2006

By	Lois Lain (San Francisco Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews

I have a zillion different scrapbooking books and magazines, and I'm always on the lookout for more. I think my search has ended.

Cathy Zielske writes with warmth, humor, and creativity. She offers tons of tips and suggestions, as well as concrete guidelines for scrappers to follow. She enables you to adapt the layouts you see on the pages of your favorite magazines to your own style. This book offers more of what she wrote in the first volume, but it also goes further, getting into greater detail about how Cathy creates her fabulous style.

I may never buy another idea book -- nahh, of course I will! But this one will have a place of honor on my shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply A Must Have, July 31, 2006

By	R. Hamblin (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Any scrapbooker, any style, any budget, this is required reading. It can pretty well wipe your bookshelf of any other scrapping reference books - with the obvious exception of Clean and Simple Scrapbooking part one. Cathy Zielske is the master of her art. Her ability to share her techniques with her readers is unsurpassed. The layout ideas are pure Zielske, no surprises there, but the real value of this book lies in the author's instructive ability; her knack for imparting the underlying fundamentals of design. If you only buy one scrapbooking reference your entire life, make this the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book, March 8, 2007

By	rda (USA) - See all my reviews

This book is fantastic! It's actually even better than the first Clean & Simple Scrapbooking. It's full of beautiful photos and easy to read insights into making your scrapbooking experience fun and free from guilt. You can do whatever you want - you're supposed to be having fun, not trying to catch up!
I love Cathy's striking graphic style. This is definitely not for scrappers who are addicted to stickers and gaudy embellishments! Think of it as modern, contemporary, fresh and clean.
