This is a fabulous book. There are so many wonderful examples of many many different artists work, giving so much inspiration!

The techniques described are easy and uncomplicated, without the need for many specialised tools or supplies. If you're at all into paper crafts you're likely to have a lot of what's required for just about all of the techniques documented. And oh, what fun!

Even my sister, with not an artistic bone in her body was oohing and aahing over this book! This would have to be the nicest book of this type that I've seen. And my library does have quite a few!

If you've already read a bunch of collage books, there aren't any new techniques here, but ATCs are really interesting ways to explore the possibilities of collage. (

Even though I've had this book, plenty of materials, and tons of time to do it, I've yet to make my first ATC. This book is inspring, though, and I'm sure that one of these days its going to give me the final shove that I need to get going. Lovely work in here. (

This book is great if you are new to ATCs, or if you're in a rut and looking for something new to try. There are gorgeous example cards, and step by step instructions for every technique. If you only get one ATC book, get this one. (
