This was an impulse borrow from the library, that I will probably borrow again. I don't normally give craft books 4 stars - this one has a wonderfully refreshing take on scrapbooking. Instead of focusing on the shoulds of scrapbook layouts, this book teaches a different approach to collecting memories in a book format.

This may have inspired me enough to actually create a scapbook myself.

This book got me excited about scrapbooking in a whole new way. While I have been pretty good at compiling pictures and keepsakes for our family, this book inspired me to put together gift books that document relationships & memories in a new way. Plus, they are super simple to do. Always a good thing.

This is an older book, so it the layout styles are dated, but they design principles are solid. I read this when it first came out and it changed the way I scrapbooked forever. It made a huge impact on me, more so than most other scrapbook idea books to follow.

Stacy Julian and this book revolutionized my scrapbooking.
