The Ultimate Practical Guide to Scrapbooking was full of ideas. Robbie picked this book up for me from the bargain book table at our local Borders. It was actually published in the UK, so it included all the measurements in cm (and then inches in parentheses) and several examples were on A4 paper which is a little longer than our letter size but not quite as long as our legal size. It was filled with lots of page and project ideas, many with step-by-step directions. I've already created two layouts that were inspired by ones in this book.
The Scrapbook Embellishment Handbook
had ideas for using 17 different types of embellishments with lots of gorgeous sample pages and step-by-step directions for some of the ideas. I especially enjoyed seeing some of Nic Howard's layouts in the book since I'm currently taking her Dimensional Details class.Sharing Your Story: Recording Life's Details with Mini Books
by Ali Edwards was filled with ideas for creating mini scrapbooks. I've had in my mind for a while now a mini scrapbook about "Games We Play," and reading this book really got me inspired. I have started gathering my supplies and photos for this little project and they are scattered all over my craft table right now.
I love having all these books handy for inspiration and ideas. These are the books in my craft room, however I still have several new books in my waiting-to-be-read pile beside the bed!
I'm growing a collection of these too! I saw your blog at BPS in our text class and thought I would stop by :) hope you are having a fantastic day!
