Guide Review - Scrap Your Stuff: Keepsake Scrapbooking to Capture Special Memories

Pretty much all of us have junk drawers or shoe boxes full of little mementos we just can't part with; heck, some of us have several drawers and boxes packed full of what others may consider to be junk! Little things we just can't bare to get rid of yet we do not quite know what to do with them either. Well, this book will shed a little light by encouraging you to use those little trinkets, wrappers, ticket stubs, and more in your scrapbooking projects.

The easy to follow instructions and full-color photos will help you create scrapbook pages for any occasion or just because. Using the instructions and detailed supply lists, you can re-create your favorite projects from this book, or you can modify them to create your own layouts. These pages can be used to create great keepsakes or unique gifts.

You can also use this book as an excuse to start collecting new junk, um- I mean memorabilia. Spend a day at garage sales and thrift stores and you may end up with enough goods to fill an entire book. Wonderful book, recommended for all!
