More thanJust Scrapbook Pages!

I was a complete novice at scrapbooking. I created a rather lame wedding album (IMHO), but I didn't have the money, old pictures, talent, etc to get into scrapbooking "for real". Also my first hubby had stolen a LOT of the early pics of our kids, so I had very little to work with.I have a 1-year-old granddaughter, and she has inspired me to shoot entire rolls of film trying to capture her elusive little smile. Ah, the sweet agony! But what to do with all those pictures? Make a scrapbook! LOL So, now that I've started working on the little one's book, some of my now-grown children's missing pics suddenly re-appeared. It's a miracle!I found this book at Michael's on the discount table, thought it looked interesting, & brought it home. More than Memories II, Beyond the Basics is rich in interesting projects. They give step-by-step, assuming no prior knowledge, recipe-like, easy to follow instructions. Stress-relieving reassurances are given throughout the review & techniques section, showing consideration for beginners. I like working in so many different mediums, sometimes all at the same time! I am happy to have found this book, and this new hobby, and I look forward to receiving the rest of the books by the same people (I ordered them yesterday!). I was also inspired to go online and look on PBS to see the TV show that the book is based on: "More Than Memories". I didn't find that show...maybe it's off the air...but I did find info for great family albums; complete with family history, her-story (oral stories women usually keep), and much, much more! And with the help of my books, I can put it all together into cool projects to keep and to give!

Beautiful PBS Book On Creatively Preserving Family History !

This new 128 page 8 1/2 x 11" fully color illustrated book takes you beyond the basics in how to save your family photos, memorabilia and histories. A very helpful book that guides you step-by-step on how to photo tinting, paper embossing, photo transferring, making greeting cards, puzzles and time capsules. Every topic is clearly described and every page contains very large, full color completed photos of each project. Each project provides the list of supplies needed and a simple step-by-step description of what to do. There are chapters on: home and family, heritage, travel and vacations, babies, holidays, sports, kids, weddings, nature and scenery, school, celebrations, memory gifts and more. Wow ! Just seeing the photos makes you want to act on the boxes of stuff you have sitting in the closet gathering dust. A truly great book that is part of the Public Television Series. Very useful.
