Excellent!!!

I love this book and Angie's other books as well. She does a great job of providing inspiration to scrap and journal your way through creating a book about your growing up years. I would not say it's a great book to get layout ideas for, but I don't think that's what her purpose is. You can find layout ideas anywhere, but it's difficult to start from the beginning and create a book about your life. Angie helps you do this in an organized way, and some of her journaling prompts have helped me to recall long-forgotten memories from my past. A lot of fun!

I use this book in MY Scrapbook classes for kids!

This book is not intended to be a book full of awesome ideas and techniques, but a book that helps CHILDREN make scrapbooks of their lives. I use this book in my ever popular KROPPIN' KIDS classes and the participants (kids) are always inspired by knowing that many of the layouts are done by other children their age. I would reccomend anyone who teaches children, scrapbooking or otherwise, to use the ideas in this book. A great way to empower our kids!

Awesome for CHILDHOOD albums

This book has ideas for use with children in documenting their lives as they view it as well as for the adult who is backing up and documenting their own. I am always amazed at this author's ability to take it to the next step in my own thinking for scrapbooking. This book does not have as many PHENOMENAL layouts as you find in her BOOK OF US, but it is created by children, who generally are not the artistic creators like you find in magazines or other idea books. Instead, she has hosted a place to see where your own children can go with layouts and gives ideas for the scrapbooker trying to recapture their own childhood.
