Book Reviews of Creative Scrapbooking: Over 300 Cutouts, Patterns & Ideas to Embellish & Enhance Your Treasured Memories
Book Review: Outdated, too simplistic for today's standards
Summary: 3 Stars
Scrapbooking has come a long way in the last few years, and this book is proof! The samples are too simplistic, the directions are not specific enough, and the lack of ideas for personal creativity is not there. The reader can copy what is given in the book, and is not encouraged how to move on to create a work of art from the given product. Today's embellishments have also come a long way, and not can be seen in the book. A beginner can use the book as a starting point, but after they learn the beginning techniques they must buy a more current book!
Summary of Creative Scrapbooking: Over 300 Cutouts, Patterns & Ideas to Embellish & Enhance Your Treasured Memories
?Sandi is probably one of the foremost authorities on the topic of scrapbooking and the use of die cuts. Sandi outlines clearly the materials and steps required ...discusses everything from techniques, tools and papers, to the assembly of the finished project....Each is well photographed.??Craft Digest.
Scrapbookers who are big fans of die-cuts will find ideas galore in Creative Scrapbooking by Sandi Genovese. A noted designer and the creative director for the Ellison company, Genovese has compiled dozens of scrapbook-page designs based around Ellison paper die-cuts. But for those who don't want to go to the expense of purchasing the ready-made cutouts, she provides 26 pages of patterns that can easily be traced or photocopied to re- create any project in the book. Relying on the cutouts to define album pages does tend to give them a mass-produced air rather than a unique look, but the designs are fun and colorful, and the good illustrations and directions make these easy projects even easier. The final section applies these scrapbooking methods to other items, including greeting cards, invitations, and a mobile. --Amy Handy
