Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

With the emphasis on embellishment, Making Scrapbooks presents 75 projects for jazzing up your memory albums (covers as well as interiors) with pop-ups, fancy cutouts, textural adornments, and theme-appropriate artwork and memorabilia. Using all the tricks of the trade--templates, decorative-edge scissors, stencils, stamps, stickers, ribbons, lace, and more--Vanessa-Ann stocks her albums with cute and clever ideas for pages of pictures of babies, pets, holidays, school events, weddings, and ancestors. Many of the projects would also work well as greeting cards or framed presentations. At times the photos are a bit overwhelmed by the decorations, but the ideas are fun and plentiful. --Amy Handy

Great for beginners

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2000

Verified Purchase

This book is great if you are new to scrapbooking. It will quickly acquaint you with the techniques needed to make beautiful layouts. After you read through it a few times, however, and practice the designs that interest you the most, this book tends to stay tucked away on the shelf. The techniques and layouts used in this book are simple enough that you can remember it without having to refer to the book. If you only scrapbook a few times a year, this book would be a great buy. However, if you scrapbook often then save yourself the money and just go to the library to find these ideas.

Good Overview to Get Started Scrapbooking

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2006

When I see more than 50 used copies for sale on Amazon, that tells me that people aren't holding onto this book. As a beginning scrapbooker, I'm finding it useful and inspiring.

It shows the variety of supplies available, discusses archival needs, and photo handling.

The projects take one or two pages each with a full-color sample. It tells the materials, tools, and instructions (step-by-step) to duplicate or make a similar scrapbook page. I think she shows a nice variety of techniques using torn edges, ribbons, fabric, etc. I particularly like the way she displayed the vintage photos and the sepia tones in the backgrounds.

Maybe a few scrapbooks from now, I'll find this book ho-hum, but for now "I think I'll keep it!"

I expected more from this book

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2000

I live in Brazil and I am very interested in scrapbooking. To start in this art, I've ordered some books, including this one. It's not as disapointing and childish as another that I also get ("More than Memories", by Julie Stephani), but it's not very good at all. I I am still in the search of a book that teaches people from everywhere out of USA how to make creative scrapbooks. The point is that the books that I've found askes you to work with fabrics and material that you can find only in the USA.

Great source for ideas on laying out old family photo.

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 1998

I have found this book to be helpful in laying out my photo pages. Many sources have great ideas for current photos, but few offer so many tips for older photos. Most people will be able to find ideas from this book that they can use in their own book.
