Summary: Crafting with Recycled Greeting Cards
Review: I have this book at home and it has many good ideas for re-using greeting cards. Decoupage, cards, bookmarks, and boxes are some of the finished products. It shows 3-d decoupage also. I recommend this book highly. The instructions are clear and the pictures are very pretty.

Summary: Should Be: "Creative Decoupaging With Old Greeting Cards"
Review: I was somewhat disappointed with this book. I bought it thinking there would be good ideas to use the cards I receive, particlarly holiday cards. Well, first of all, most are based on decoupage, not a wide variety of techniques. Secondly, most of the projects shown use really nice "artsy" types of cards and would not have the same effect using the majority of greeting cards being circulated these days.

I also wish the layout and instructions were better presented. Projects are divided into months (though they could be used any time of the year)...it would have been better if grouped by similar projects. Each month has a photo of several sample projects, then you have to look for the instructions a page or two away...all of which start out by saying "Refer to General Inst. on pages 6-18"

Nice if you're interested in decoupage ideas.
