Ok book about using what you have on hand to make mixed media collages. I enjoyed looking at some of the projects in the book, even though they weren't art journal relevant.

It was a good book on 3D collages, not a whole lot on flat or art journal style collages. Also there is some instruction on how to make her designs, but you won't have the same materials so it is more or less examples and not something you can duplicate.
