This is for those who aren't into cute, cartoony looking scrapbooks. I have never really gotten into scrapbooking before, because the examples I've seen just aren't my style. This book has changed my attitude 180 degrees. If you love beautiful, elegant artwork, this book will inspire you. Anyone familiar with the magazine Somerset Studio will feel right at home. Your memory albums don't have to be childish or tacky...buy this book!

Even if I never did any of the beautiful art work described and shown in these pages,I'd still be happy to own this book. The author goes beyond the mundane, childish and in my opinion, artless arrays of photos mounted on various colored papers that I've seen in several other how-to scrapbook books. Each of the scrapbook pages and covers she describes and shows are truly works of art that might even be good enough to display in a museum one day. She describes how to use various media (watercolors, textured and handmade papers, decoupage, etc.) to make a memory book a veritable art collection. There is quite a bit of information on handling antique photos. In fact, many of her backgrounds seem geared towards old photos, although the techniques covered are also suitable for modern ones. The clip art at the end is pretty helpful. Definitely a very inspirational volume and well worth the price!
