Making Scrapbooks: Complete Guide to Preserving Your Treasured Memories

Rating:
Summary: Very good book, a little weak on pictures.
Review: 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.

Summary: I expected more from this book
Review: 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.

Summary: Very good book, a little weak on pictures.
Review: This book I found very informative, and it had some really great ideas. I would have liked it to have had more pictures to go along with the instructions, rather than just the final result showing, but all in all, it was worth the money to get it.

Summary: Great for beginners
Review: 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.
