A fresh new dimension in scrapbooking. This book lets crafters of all levels celebrate their memories with scrapbook albums using the hottest new materials and techniques. Scrapbooking is a hot trend, and many books exist on the topic, mostly aimed at the traditional style of scrapbooker while "Scrapbooks Plus!" is more diverse. "Special Effects Scrapbooking" offers a variety of styles, but the projects are not as polished as those in "Scrapbooking Plus!"
This is a layout-centered, rather than technique-centered book. That said, it does have several good and creative ideas, especially in the sections on using metallic and glass embellishments. I also liked the complete list of materials (and brands)...there is a lot of really cool product out there!
This book is not just about buttons: buttons, tiles, buckles, hinges, beads, printed paper, paper and more paper. Also resources on the back of the book.
