I picked this up at my local library hoping to find some inspiration. Several of the cards were unique and appealing, while there were a few that were a little too cursor for my taste.

This is a terrific addition for a newbie to card making. It is full of ideas.

If you are a veteran card maker you may want to pass. It really doesn’t offer up any unique folds, etc.

I enjoyed reading this and got a little inspiration so it was definitely worth picking it up at the library.
