5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Idiot's Guide to Scrapbooking Review, April 23, 2007

By	J. Aaron Wozniak "Nicole Wozniak" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Allyson Bright Meyer's Book: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Scrapbook Projects Illustrated is a complete how to guide for scrapbooking. Allyson has made scrapbooking easy for anyone with a book suited to any level of scrapbooker. She touches on almost every aspect of modern scrapbooking and preserving your memories. This book is loaded with over 200 pages of projects, techniques, and ideas, using creative illustrations and step-by-step instructions. The amount of information and ideas results in a valuable addition to any scrapbooker's library.

This book provides the beginning scrapbooker with a complete overview of the basics and beyond. Everything from paper and photos to paints and dye are insightfully covered in the first part of the book. Allyson points out so many great ideas in her tags and photographs on every page that they are certain to inspire the budding beginner to the seasoned scrapper. I personally appreciated the list of materials needed for starting and completing all the various layout examples. For the beginner, intermediate, and advanced scrapbooker, this is a book packed full of tips, tricks, ideas and instructions.

Albums are greatly touched upon in this book, which is what we all are creating with our layouts in some fashion. Whether you are the traditional or the themed scrapbooker it does not matter. Everything is covered in Allyson's book. From ABC albums to creating albums together with young children, Allyson walks you through a multitude of different types of albums you can create. Wonderfully illustrated sample layouts with instructions and materials lists will guide you through each step making the creation process easy, fun and educational.

Another great part of this book which I found helpful is the insightful reviews on cutting systems available to the consumer for purchase. As I do not currently own a cutting system, I could only imagine how many hours of research and perhaps a few wasted dollars it would take before finding the right one to suit my needs. Allyson has done the work for you. Listing pros, cons and informative reviews for each system she discusses. You are certain to find and understand the cutting system that can best meet your needs.

While I expected this book by its cover to be more oriented towards helping the beginning scrapbooker, I found that this was not the case. I was pleasantly surprised at how much content was packed into this book, making it perfect for any level scrapbooker. Allyson touches on almost every aspect of scrapbooking and preserving your memories with great introductions and topics for beginners to expanded ideas for the more advanced. Her book presents itself in a fun, well organized style with so many fresh ideas that is certain to inspire a trip to your favorite scrapbook store. I believe everyone will find something to enjoy or new ideas to explore in this great introduction to scrapbooking.
