[Melissa Wehunt · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty good craft book for cards and birthday stuff, but not very helpful for library programming purposes. There were a few viable ideas inside, but I'd seen much easier versions around that would work better when dealing with teens and younger kids and a budget. Worth looking at if you are into card making though.
