A Brilliant Inspirational book,
By
This review is from: The Best of British Scrapbooking and Cardmaking (Paperback)
This is a must for anyone into scrapbooking, beginner or advanced. The designs are beautiful and simplistic too. There are some more artistic ones for the advanced scrapbooker too. The tips and techniques are very good and give you so many more ideas. You can't go wrong with this book and if you are a cardmaker too then there are a few examples at the back. But this book is mainly for scrapbookers.There is even an article on how to win scrapbooking competitions!

award-winning layouts,

This review is from: The Best of British Scrapbooking and Cardmaking (Paperback)
Unlike many other books on scrapbooking this is not a 'how to' guide; instead it offers a selection of award winning layouts with snall descriptions of the materials which were used and how. Saying that, each page includes several tips on how to use elements in your own work. Some of the layouts are so advanced that it seems impossible that I could ever create anything like that but others are more possible, and even the most complicated have elements which could be used by less expert scrappers.Card-makers beware though - this book is primarily about scrapbooking, there is only 8 pages on the cards.

Fresh ideas from talented local designers,
By Makintracks "Makintracks" (North Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of British Scrapbooking and Cardmaking (Paperback)
This book is testimony to the wonderful and unique talent of British scrapbookers and will be a great source of inspiration to local scrappers, scrappers in the USA and further afield.Each layout is accompanied by handy tips and information about the supplies used. The best part is that you don't just get to see one layout from each of the winners, but a selection, and this truly showcases the abilities of each of the very worthy winners in this competition. Inspiration does not end here though - there is a gallery of layouts from additional designers who received an honourable mention and layouts by the judges. There is a lovely variety of styles and enthusiastic scrappers will not be able to wait long before trying some of the wonderful ideas. Whether you prefer simple layouts or truly artistic creations, you will definitely find this book a handy scrapbooking companion. The card making section at the end of the book encompasses around 10 pages and the ideas are equally as useful whether you are a scrapper or card maker. As a special bonus, one of the judges has even written a guide to winning scrapbooking contests, so if you are dying to have a go, this guide will certainly set you on your way. Shimelle Laine, the author of the aforementioned article, knows a thing or two about winning competitions too - she is a member of the Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame and the Paperkuts Power Team. This book represents great value for money.
