Ways to Breath Life into Your Family Photos

I bought this book last summer and must admit, it has been fun trying to make the most of our family photos. We love the themes as they fit with our "games" approach to family activities. The book gives terrific craft ideas that anyone can do! It also presents a very positive image of family living. I'm sending copies to friends and family as great holiday gifts.

Great Scrapbooking Ideas

Stephanie and her mother have come up with some very clever and cute ideas for scrapbooking. They have a particularly cute page with a park scene and easy to follow instructions. They also have some neat ideas on how to incorporate your child's art work into scrapbooking pages. The thing I like best about the book is that the pages are not too complicated or time consuming and an amature like me can do them. I have ordered them for all of my relatives for Christmas, because they like the book so well.

projects for the novice to the most experienced

This book appeals to several levels of scrapbooking, from one who has just started the craft with simple but a nice looking page to the more advanced page with lots of detail. I noted several ideas in the book which were different than other instructional books and ordered two additional books for my sisters in law, for their birthdays. This is an opportunity to have get togethers involving scrapbooking. We pool our recent purchases, saving money as the authors suggest then refer to the book to give us many ideas to create pages by doing as a group. We found it is faster to develop an identical page for each family in a shorter amount of time as was suggested, which we liked. Our kids have fun getting together and doing the craft as a group at an additional table so they can use our supplies and tools too. This book is very well laid out with easy to follow directions, thanks to the many shortcuts and inovative ways to use the scrapbook supplies. Its the first book which we refer to for the most ideas. Money well spent!
