Great Book

The book was as stated and is brand new. hard to believe it was owned by somebody else. thanks.

New ideas and clever thoughts

This was a gift for my Mother-in-law who is an avid scrapbooker! She has said it is the best scrapbooking book she has EVER seen. The ideas are very creative and new!

best of its type

I own several books that deal with Heritage page design etc. This is definately one of the best. I looked at libraries and bookstores before purchasing this. It is the first one I bought in this category and still the one I go back to most often out of about 15 I own. Highly recommended.

Wounderful Resource Book

I just got this book and I spent an entire evening going over every page. It inspries you to not just put pictures on a page, but tell a story behind them. She urges you to write about the sad times as well as the good ones. The page she did about being another Laura's namesake has inspired me to do one about the Aunt I am named for, and another one about my Grandmother's beautful blue eyes. Collect the stories, get the pictures and this book.. then enjoy creating a legacy that can be enjoyed by those who come after us.

Fresh scrapbooking ideas

I bought this book because of the wide variety of scrapbook techinques especially dealing with antiquing and aging scrapbook pages. I was surprised by the number of good ideas on how to scrapbook my grandparents.
