reviews

I had this book sitting on my wishlist for quite some time. I heard and saw great reviews but wasn't sure if it was going to be able to live up to the expectations the reviews placed on it.
Just within an hour of flipping through the book, I found it to be great and had no disappointment of purchasing it. I think this book re-confirmed my belief that Becky Fleck, the author, is an amazing layout sketch artist and great scrapbooker too. The book isn't just the sketches and interpretati More...

Oh my Gosh, I can't say enough good things about this book.
If I could give it 20 *'s I would.
Becky's book is absolutely the best sketch book I've ever bought - and I have them all. Her designs are as simple or complicated as you want them. I like them because they are not just a bunch of boxes thrown on a page but well thought out designs with an eye for the proper use of embellishments. She utilizes the 1/3 2/3 design principle and also the use of 3's to draw the eye across th More...

clever use of the little cards inside. perfect for when you're seeking inspiration for a specific page. I continually turn to this book for layout guidance! The thing I love about this book is that its good for a new scrapper, or a veteran scrapper. It's so hard to find scrap books that skip the "Basics of Scrapping" intro and this one does. Well done!

I think this may turn out to be the best scrapbooking idea book I've ever purchased.
Everything about this book has been well thought out, from the fantastic sketches to the beautiful color examples to the fact that the book is spiral bound so it can lie flat on your work surface. The punch-out (and therefore portable, for shopping purposes) mini layout cards at the back of the book are an excellent bonus.
I anticipate getting a lot of use out of this one!

I love Becky's book so much I even gave it away as a blogcandy on my blog. Great maps/sketches which can be adapted to make gorgeous cards. It comes with a small box (you need to assemble it) and cards so you can have those maps with you at all time.
If you feel a bit blah and have lost your craft mojo (and that happens often with me) just give this book a read and you'll see you'll come all inspired and ready to scrap some more.

I bought this book because other people were recommending it. It's the best scrapbook I've seen in along time. I stopped buying them because after awhile they all seem the same. This one is different. I love how in the back you can pull out smaller cards to take with you if you want to go to a crop. You don't have to lug the big book with you. I think this was money well spent. I don't say that much about scrapbooks anymore.

What an awesome book! I'm so inspired to work on some new scrapbook pages! I love the card that come in the back. You can just pop them out and put them with your project if you are heading off to a crop and don't want to care the entire book. Loved it!!

Well to be honest I could do without some of the writing...but the sketches and layouts are awesome.

This is one of the best scrapbooking books I've read. And I love the deck of page planners(maps) as a bonus!
