I think this is a book I would like to own. It had good projects and interseting tips in it. The reason it didn't get 5 stars is because I wish it would have had a few more descriptive techniques with the projects.

What can I say?! Tim ROCKS!!! Although his books can't match actually taking classes with him (which you MUST do if you have the opportunity!) these are close to the next best thing!

Really great projects. I tried to take one of his classes at a local scrapbook store, but alas, it was full. This book has some really fun, different projects.
