10-Minute Scrapbook Pages: Hundreds of Easy, Innovative Designs

Elaborate scrapbook pages can often take hours to arrange, but reasonably attractive ones really can be assembled pretty quickly, as Raquel Boehme demonstrates in 10-Minute Scrapbook Pages. With loads of stickers, some markers, assorted die-cuts, and the occasional decorative-edge ruler, Boehme creates dozens of pages devoted to subjects like kids at play and at school, family outings, holiday celebrations, birthdays, and new babies. Most of the designs consist of simple embellishments bordering plain white pages, sometimes shown with the author's own photos for placement suggestions and sometimes without any photos in place. None of the designs are terribly exciting, and a whole albumful of such pages might become monotonous, but their ease of assembly does increase their appeal--particularly for beginners or as quick additions to a collection of more time-consuming and varied pages. -- Amy Handy
