I loved this book. Visually, it's very appealing and drew me right in. I felt strongly from the minute I opened it that, "Hey! I can do this!" because Allyson takes you step by step through the processed. More than that, I felt like I WANTED to do it, because her projects are wonderful to look at and made me feel happy, even though I didn't know the people in them. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn some scrapbooking techniques, but also for people who like to make Artist Trading Cards or collages. You don't have to be a 'complete idiot' to enjoy this book. How do I know? Because I am a genius and I enjoyed it very much. :) Allyson is a wonderful teacher!
