5.0 out of 5 stars For every scrapbooker's Library, 10 Mar 2005
So, what's different between the Book of Me, and the Book of Us? Angie explains it well in her first chapter - The Book of Us celebrates our relationships. Relationships are about intimacy and connections between people. It's a two-way, cause and effect process. Whereas a Book of Me may deal with your feelings on being a mother, a Book of Us will look at it from both directions - how you feel about being a mother, and how your child feels about being your child. The Book of Us gives the scrapbooker 150 plus pages of ideas on how to document and capture those relationships in all our lives.

Layouts chosen in the Book of Us range from simple layouts on themes to complex and extremely beautiful layouts. Angie Pedersen and her team have managed to select a wide range of differing styles, and not just layouts which some might think of as being advanced. The ABC albums and other simpler layouts are do-able, even for newbie scrappers. I think I am most impressed with the care and production quality taken over the photography of the published layouts and many little mini and gift albums. Photos are taken close enough for you to read all the journaling with ease. Details show, and the colour is exactly right - at least for my own layouts featured.

This book really should be in every scrapbooker's library. You can use it to break a scrapper's block cycle - by ducking into the book at any point to apply the ideas. Or you can create an entire Book of Us themed album using the ideas within.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and varied, 15 Dec 2005
By J. Kelly (Darlington, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree that this is an extremely useful book for scrapbookers. There are lots of thought provoking suggestions for aspects of your relationships which could be turned into layouts and many and varied examples. There are occasional references to American holidays etc but as it focuses on relationships this is not a problem for readers in the UK. It's not just about romantic relationships either - you can use it to help scrapbook your relationships with your friends and family too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE BOOK, 10 Nov 2006
By DAK (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a MUST HAVE reference book for scrapbookers of any level and in my opinion the best of the books by Angie Pedersen.

It will provide you with ideas on how to depict your relationships with Family/Friends/Teams not just with photos but in a storyform on your layouts. You can also apply the same principle to just a particular person.

It is a great book for journaling and it shows you what and how to add meaningful journaling onto your scrapbook pages whether you like them intricate or simple. I refer to it more for journaling ideas as there are so many good useful examples. You will be constantly lookng through it.
