More Than Memories: The Complete Guide for Preserving Your Family History (More Than Memories,)

Rating:
Summary: comprehensive, varied approach to modern scrapbooking
Review: I have several scrapbooking idea/resource books & this is one of my favorites. It covers the basics comprehensively which is essential for the beginner and refreshing for the advanced enthusist. The chapters are inclusive of most all scrapbooking 'occassions.' Heritage, Home & Family, Cropping Parties, Holidays, Babies, Sports & Leisure, Weddings, etc... The techniques are suprisingly varied because of the many contributors, so all the layouts do not look the same! Included in each chapter is an appropriate font example. Near the end there is also a photo gift chapter. If you're only planning to buy one idea/resource book for your hobby right now, this would be the one to get. I turn to it more than all the others.

Summary: Very disapointing
Review: I waited the arrival of this book with a lot of expectative, but it's very disapointing. It's very childish and give not many ideas at all. To me, the worst thing is that it works with fabrics that you only can find if you are at USA; it doesn't help you to make really new creations. I'd like a book that could teach a person from everywhere how to make great creative scrapbooks, and not this one.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I wanted a good basic book on scrapbooking. In the meantime, I found this book is the basis of a PBS program of the same title. I would highly recommend it for a beginner, or even for the experienced scrapper. I refer to it time and again for ideas.

Summary: Great general scrapping info
Review: This is one of the best books I've come across on scrapbooking. It won't overwhelm beginners or bore more advanced scrappers. It has a variety of helpful hints, loads of layouts and some creative lettering by Carol Snyder of EK Success.
