A Passion for Specialty Paper

I had to write this review to tell everyone who is a crafter to buy this book and if you are not a crafter you need to buy it anyway and get started! It has brilliant scrapbook layouts, just as you would hope for. I have looked at many books on scrapbooking and own a few, but this is by far the best I have seen and for me it is the only one I really need.However, the main reason I love this book is the fact that this is not just about scrapbooking. It has ideas for making gifts, boxes, giftbags, framing photographs, etc. Also it has over 50 step by step techniques, with colour photos, showing techniques for altering the appearance and texture of paper.I am primarily a cardmaker and I would not be without this book for inspiration!Although I have lots of cardmaking experience (I design cards for Create and Craft on tv)I can also see that this would be suitable to inspire anyone wanting to take up papercrafting as a hobby.
