Scrapbook Tips & Techniques (Leisure Arts #15931)

Okay, I am an avid scrapbooker who is always on the lookout for new ideas. I loved this book! It detailed some uses for everyday scrapbooking items that have helped me tremendously and it also gives easy ideas to enhance my style. I have this book along with many other scrapbooking tip books, but this is one of my favorites!

I am a scrapbook aficionado and dabbler in artistic expression (ie right brain stuff) to counterpose my life as a science teacher (ie left brain stuff). And I like books- lots of them- including ones on creative enterprises. This is a great book for two main reasons: A. It has lots of tips and techniques (duh- the title!!) on the nitty gritty how-tos of scrapbooking. And not just mundane matters- but more artsy interpretations. B. There are lots of nice photos of finished pages you can try yourself. I am more of a "see it and adapt it" type of gal when it comes to scrapping, so I like the pictures. It's worth the money when you consider the price and the rather hefty number of pages it has. Other books are more expensive and don't have even a quarter of the amount of info this one has. Buy it.

I have never been so impressed with a scrapbooking book. This one is fabulous for all levels from the beginner to the scrapbookers that have been doing it for years ... I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed this book and it is ONE THAT I WILL BE THUMBING THROUGH AND READING FOR YEARS TO COME I AM SURE ... I truly don't believe you would be disappointed if you bought it ... it is going in my (soon to be) new scrap room sitting on a very visual shelf so I can grab it whenever I want.

Of the many scrapbook/craft books I have purchased (or looked through in the bookstores) over the years, this is my absolute favorite. There are hundreds of beautiful pictures, as well as design techniques, that truly inspire and make you eager to scrapbook. It's also great for finding numerous alternative ways to use supplies I already own. You'll be reaching for this book quite often. Highly recommended!!!

This book has a lot of great ideas for the tools and materials that I already have. It's much more than just LO samples (though it has tons of those) - it contains a tremendous selection of "how-to's". I'm really glad I purchased it.
