Book Review!

[juliet]

Great book for Scrappers!
Scrapbook Page Maps. Sketches for creative layouts by Becky Fleck.
This book shows you creative page design (which can easily be transferred to greeting card layouts too!)
Contains 60 original sketches adaptable to different themes or syle. There are a 140 layouts all bound to inspire - they have for me!
In the back of the book are travel-size cards featuring all 60 sketches which can easily be tucked away in your purse or bag to use in crops or craft classes. Brilliant idea!
Well recommended!
If you click on the photo's you will get a larger photo. (just incase you don't know!)

I have this book and totally agree with you Juliet it is very useful. I have only dabbled in scrapping so far but as time goes on hope to do more and the ideas can easily be adapted to cardmaking. The small cards are my favourite part! I made up the little box to house them in and keep it on my desk for inspiration.

I love this book, I gave it away as a blog candy last year...Becky Fleck is a sweetheart and I was in tears reading her homage to her friend who died of cancer. (towards the end of the book) I love the card set and the box is always by my craft desk for quick inspiration.

Do you know Juliet that her follow up book Scrapbook Page Maps 2 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scrapbook-Page-Maps-Sketches-Creative/dp/1599631172/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274025678&sr=8-2) will be out in October-November?

I've just ordered Page Maps 2 from Amazon. Has anyone got it yet? Is it good? I have a bit of a wait as it says 3-5 weeks for delivery but it was only £7.05.

I just had a nice surprise, my book has been dispatched already. It should be here this week. I look forward to reading it.

It's just arrived and ex Italian Army Sgt Fab has a card in it! Nice one Fab. :happy:

The rest of the book is great too.
