About this title

Review:

Noted Victorianist Cynthia Hart turns her talented hand to this wildly popular craft with great success, declaring, "Creating a scrapbook is one of the most powerful ways to celebrate our lives and the lives of loved ones." Hart packs into these pretty pages just about everything you need to know: all the basics, plus full-color glimpses of more than two dozen imaginative scrapbook designs on a wide variety of themes (family milestones, celebrating the past, kid subjects, holidays, and much more). There's also a nice section of clip art, patterns, and templates that can be photocopied for use in your own scrapbooks. This volume is about much more than having fun with your photos; this is a guide to making a book of memories, an artful presentation of memorabilia on whatever subject you choose. --Amy Handy
