The author's ideas very clear to the point of wondering why you hadn't thought of them yourself.
I found it very encouraging because I enjoy making cards on the computer and this book made it so much easier to take a step further.

This is a brilliant book. At first glance it looks slight, not very thick, but it is brimming with ideas. A few projects are shown in detail and then there are further ideas to take you on. What I like most of all is that you are not expected to buy masses of craft stuff but instead to use what is readily available and recycle stuff around the house - oddments of fabric, insides of envelopes ( wonderful blue patterns !). A great book for inspiration.

Thoughts
I bought it thinking that I would be able to make all sorts of cards but I really wanted to be able to produce credit cards & that really isn't what Polly's book is for.

I found this very disappointing. It didn't contain the sort of material I like to read in connection with card making.
