Creating Keepsakes Award-Winning Scrapbook Pages (Leisure Arts #15932)

This book is amazing!! The ONLY problem I have found is that there are so many great ideas that I dont have enough time to do them all! I would suggest this book to anyone that just needs to look at really well done pages but not someone that is just beginning scrapbooking because the book does not come with how to instructions.

Want inspiration? Look no further - here it is! This book is filled to the brim with all sorts of techniques and ideas for every scrapbooker. I have purchased quite a few books in search for one that gave me inspiration. Generally they were full of these weird totally-not-me examples that while they looked good were impractical for everyday use. In this book, you get all sides of the creative spectrum. You get the far-out-there looks, to the homely looks, to in-between. You can turn page to page ohh'ing and ahh'ing over the pages but you'll find you wont - you'll bookmark the page and start scrapping immediately. I've had this book for a year and still haven't finished looking through it. It's definetly a keeper and one of my 2 favorite books!

I have bought countless Scrapbook books, sometimes the information overwhelmed me, sometimes there wasn't enough information. This book finally taught me the way I LIKE pages to look. In the past I have been trying to make my pages too busy - like my friends' pages, but was never satisifed with the way that they looked. In looking through this book I saw many different styles and "looks" and found one that I like. I then was able to go to my scapbook and make some of my most favorite pages ever. Highly recommended. I think I could look at the beautiful pages in this book countless times and still get new inspiration.

this is an awesome gift for scrapbookers. there are countless ideas and tips in it and just flipping through it is enjoyable. the pages featured are beautifully inspired. this is a great book for beginning and expert scrapbookers alike.

Be prepared to spend countless hours flipping through all 288 pages of inspirational examples of award-winning pages. There are examples of just about every technique you could imagine. You can copy the ones in the book or combine techniques to create your own personalized pages. The book lists the supplies required to create each page and tips for duplicating some of the techniques. The only criticism that I can possibly make is that there are no step by step instructions, but then I don't think that is what this book is all about. It's meant to inspire. Well worth the money.
