Summary: Rubber Stamp Gifts by Judy Claxton
Review: Judy Claxton's book is filled with excellent photos and beautiful work that helps new stampers and crafters make a variety of gift items. As the arts and crafts industry seems to mushroom overnight it is easy to forget that there are still many people who are new to this arena. The techniques covered in the book might not be new or unusual to experienced stampers and crafters, but they still serve as a reminder of how elegant and satisfying these activities can be, as well as representing the range of projects that can be achieved with a few simple materials and concepts. I especially recommend this book as a gift that can keep giving--it would make a nice present to give to a creative friend that has just gotten interested in the wonderful world of stamping.

Summary: Nice, but very simple projects
Review: This book is very visually pleasing. The projects are very pretty and relatively simple. The book only has 15 projects--it seems like too little. Judy Claxton creates lovely items...I just wish they were greater in number and they taught new techniques.
