Library Journal
Modern scrapbooking materials make saving those vacation photos and small souvenirs a creative revisit of one's travels. Ure (10-Minute Decorating) shows how it is done with this collection of pages incorporating materials from around the world. It is a revelation to see how many different papers, mounting materials, trims, and found objects can go into the making of a scrapbook. Learning how to bind the pages into a book is left up to the user. Public libraries wanting more scrapbooking material will find this a welcome addition. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
