Reviews & Previews....

Yesterday was like Christmas morning here! My package from IdeaBooks4U came! I had ordered 3 books, and I couldn't be happier! I have flipped through them all, but I am saving my reading for when I am away and have no computer time. Here is what I got~


Designer's Eye For Scrapbooking

In "A Designer's Eye For Scrapbooking," Ali shares her design secrets on how to create attractive, charming and well-balanced pages that tell a story and reflect your unique personality. This inspirational guide to scrapbook page design will teach you how to preserve your memories in a meaningful way.







Scrapbook's Etc. Design Secrets

One of our very first objectives was that a book on scrapbook design must be colorful and fun. We didn't want it to be a stuffy examination of design theory. We wanted it to be a fun collection of everything we ever wanted to know about graphic design. But we also wanted to show all of the ways that design can help scrapbookers better tell their stories. Because a pretty layout isn't really a scrapbook page unless it tells a story in some way.



Autumn Leaves Designing with Photos

"Designing with Photos" is an all-in-one guide to photographing like a professional and then using the photos in incredibly creative and artistic ways. In friendly, easy-to-follow sections, this book takes you from simply documenting, to discovering, whether in an elegant handmade card or an intricate photographic anthology. Beautiful photographs and fantastic projects illustrate each section of the eye-popping, instructional book.

I can't wait to really delve into these books and learn what they are teaching! Since I have started designing, my own scrapping has suffered, and I plan to change that when I get back! More scrapping for me! I really want to get the Freestyle book next, the one that everyone is talking about.

Everyone has responded so well to my Morning Glory kit, I am so pleased to see people enjoying it! Are you ready for the next installment? I am just as tickled about this one, it is truly gender neutralal, featuring soft yellows and greens....

Available Tonight at The Digi Chick~ Midday Mischief is the second installment in the Hourglass Collection. Bright sunny and grassy hues are the basis of this kit, and will surely suit both male and female layouts. Midday Mischief offers 8 textured papers, 3 satin ribbons, 3 metal rimmed tags, 2 metal label holders, 2 satin flowers, 2 sets of colored stitching, 2 tied knots, 2 word art, 1 glittered flower, 1 vintage button, and metal hardware. Also included is a full glittered epoxy alpha, numeral, and symbol set.

I hope you all like it as much as I do! OK, off to work! Be on the lookout.... coming soon to a Blog near you... a lovely gift! ;)
