Packed with tips for preparing your scrapbooking project, you'll know which art supplies to invest in for each card or gift you create. Patterns are also provided on the backside of each project page, making it easy for a crafter to trace with a sheet of vellum. Instructions are laid out in a step-by-step method complete with photographs, making it easy for beginners to the art of scrapbooking. This is a great choice for scrapbookers interested in working with a new medium, and it's also a great introductory book for readers new to scrapbooking.
