The Simple Art of Scrapbooking: Tips, Techniques, and 30 Special Album Ideas for Creating Memories That Last the Lifetime

This guide by the Scrapbook Guild does not have colorful, splashy layouts to study. Rather, it contains solid information for those interested in this growing hobby, with enough inspiration to encourage the reader to create her own unique albums. Basic terminology and supplies are covered, and principles of good design are thoroughly explained. Several ideas for unique albums are included, such as a reading group album or theater event album. Those readers who feel that only those with kids can create these works of art, take heart. They will find much to compel them to document their own interests as well.

This book gives excellent, step by step instructions on how to start scrapbooking. Although it is in black and white, the ideas for scrapbook themes and the layout examples are unique and inspiring. The section on design is very helpful.

This book offers many styles of scrapbooking for the golfer, cook, artist, etc. Although all graphics are in black and white, the charm of the scrapbooks illustrated still inspires.

Rose Gonnella's illustrations are simply beautiful! I used this book to create a lovely baby scrapbook. Any one who wants to cherish moments should use this helpful guide.
