Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book is completely falsely advertised in my opinion. I wanted to learn how to make mini books from scratch and since their subtitle claimed: "construction tips and ideas for creating mini albums from start to finish" I figured that's what I'd learn in this publication. Wrong! Basically it is more of a theme book and a page idea book only instead of 12x12 or 81/2 x 11 pages they make 8x8 or 6x6 pages. So they don't really show how to make mini albums but mini pages (that you would put in store bought albums!) There are only 3 projects for actually making books and those projects are not very original. The scrapbooking style itself is also not one I care much for: very busy with lots of embellishments. Next to each page, the author lists: "construction tips", again very misleading words since no construction is actually involved. If you want to learn how to make original fun scrapbooks from scratch I suggest the "Yes, It's a scrapbook" series by Donna Downey from Simple Scrapbooks publishing. All 3 in the series are great! Definitely don't waste your money on this one!
