 A book for busy collectors of family things September 16, 2008

This book is not for keen photographers, all's about memories: recognising and preserving them. It is making the snapshots that last. And so much more, because it's not all about pictures, there's a world of paraphernalia out there, and if it isn't there, create it youself. It's a book that makes you want to make things happen just to be able to make a scrapbook-page of it. Tons of inspiration, hours of work to make it also. Not all things are as simple as snapping a picture, words that go with it are important too and the way you present it. For album-makers this is heaven, for serious photographers there few to learn, besides this point that is stressed over and over: catch the emotion !
 One of my favorites! July 29, 2008

This was such a fresh break from ali and lisa b.- though I love them both! Just a neat- fresh way of looking at things - like ali- but more tounge in cheek- and the layouts are really inspiring- they seem simple at first- but then you note the attention to stamping and fonts and the pictures that journal themselves. Its one book I read over and over- especially when I am in a creative rut!
A refreshing outlook on scrapbooking July 23, 2008

I have just started this wonderful hobby of scrapbooking, and this book has opened my eyes to all the possibilities out there. The typical things that one would think to scrap (weddings, birthdays, holidays and so forth) can limit our options. This book shows how real life is made up of everyday moments more than yearly events, and encourages you to record them: how your children are growing, things people say, things that you like (and dislike!), quirks and habits that you have... The artwork is wonderful. I've gotten a lot of ideas from Nic's layouts. I absolutely recommend this book if you need a boost of inspiration, if you've ran out of ideas, or just if you (like me) love to flip through books and delight your eyes with beautiful layouts.
Wonderfully inspirational! July 6, 2008

I own many scrapbooking-related books and this is one of my very favorites. Nic's quirky sense of humor and unique scrapbooking style drew me in, but more important still is the message that she's sending - don't let everyday life pass by undocumented. Personally, I think that will tell future generations much more about me and the times that I lived in then just documenting holidays and vacations every could. I highly recommend this book!

This book is a good read. Nic Howard writes as if you are sitting and having a great talk with a good friend.
The ideas are good, but nothing exciting and original. There's nothing like the Queen of scrapbooking your everyday life, Ali Edwards, so anyone else seems to pale a bit.
