Great Techniques, Easy to Read and Great Photos!

I never thought I would hear the words "scrapbook" and "collage" in one sentence! Finally, a book that closes the gap between these two mediums beautifully. Collage can be pretty intimidating to some people, which is why I love Kelly Angard's approach to the medium. She describes it as "a type of art as well as a way of creating art", and further explains that "every layout you do is a collage. It is a collage of your thoughts, memories and feelings as much as it is a collage of color, texture and image". This book is based on four distinct categories that the author feels is essential to scrapbooking: Colorant (techniques for adding color), Texture, Image and Collage. Each chapter contains layouts which illustrate a technique from each category. For example, under the colorant category she illustrates how to alter patterned paper, how to use a brayer to create mask effects, working with glazes, transfers, brush techniques, and so on. There are at least a dozen techniques for each category, and over 50 presented in the entire book. This is literally a gold mine for the technique enthusiast! I would highly recommend this for those who want a one-stop place to look up a variety of techniques, and for those who want to add an "artsy" edge to their work. Enjoy Cris Cunningham

Innovative and Inspirational

This book is full of refreshing unique ideas - I love it!

excellent variety of technique

I really enjoyed the format of this book because not only does it give the sample pages with the applied techniques, it gives a breakdown of how to achieve the same effects, including step by step pictures and tips. It will fit in well with my scrapbooking and collage library as a resource for when I am stuck for an idea or want to try something new.

Excellent find

I just ordered this book after returning from a bookstore where I read it for almost an hour. Now, I have to confess, scrapbooking leaves me cold. This book however, goes far beyond scrapbooking. I do mixed media and can't wait to try all the various techniques I spotted here.

MINDBLOWING TECHNIQUES AND IDEAS!

Without a doubt, this is not your typical scrapbooking technique guide. Filled with refreshing and innovative new ways of creating a stunning array of visual effects, I would say this is more of a book that teaches you how to create your own fantastically unique pieces of art. The fact that the results can be incorporated into the scrapbooking world is just a deliciously large piece of icing! Trust me when I say this book is like nothing else on the market. Explore the ingenious new methods the author has personally invented specifically for this book and you will consider yourself not only a newly reborn scrapbook creator, but an artist as well.
