violette's personality really shines through in this book - she comes across as a vibrant, fun lady who i would very much enjoy hanging out with and getting creative alongside. the book is bright, funky and really does make you want to drop everything and go and spend a weekend just doodling and getting it all out on paper.
my only criticism would be that i could have done with more specific inspiration regarding style. i was looking for a book to help me add personal writing and embellishments to my scrapbook pages. i hoped for more fonts and borders to try out. instead, the message of this book is more of a general 'do what YOU feel like', with lots of words of encouragement for finding your own groove. which DID work out well for me, even though it wasn't what i set out looking for.
so all in all, i would recommend this, especially to anyone looking for something to inspire them to get off their bum and get creative!
