Review
Love scrapbooking but find it hard to think of the perfect layout? We all get moments like that when faced with a pile of photographs but with the help of a Cricut diecutting machine and this book you should never be stuck again - well, not for a good long time anyway. Even if, like this reviewer you don't own a Cricut these simple but delightfully clean-cut and tidy layouts are likely to inspire. I love the way they don't swamp the photographs with too much bewildering pattern but carry the theme with a few choice words and images. Patterned papers are used, but it is mainly plains in a huge number of shapes and combinations that are used. Another good feature is that the photos themselves are absent from the layout, which is not something I have seen in other scrapbooking books. Usually it is all too easy to get caught up in somebody else's personal story detracting from the basic idea. There are layouts for most occasions and holidays, organized in month order. Choose from New Year, wedding, Easter, baby, Thanksgiving, Christmas, back to school, vacation etc as well as less often featured events such as Cinco de Mayo and Hanukkah. Following the simple instructions is easy, and there is a helpful list of what you need with each project. You might have to invest in quite a lot of dies if you want to make a lot of different pages, but this book does not make use of the vast array of other scrapbooking paraphernalia that magazines love to list. At the very back is a list of suppliers, but anybody outside the US will need to look elsewhere for their stock. Overall I was impressed with the back-to-basics look at this hobby and anybody else who is tired of the rather overblown look of many scrapbooking layouts will surely agree.-Myshelf.com

OK but ....,
This review is from: Scrapbooking with Cricut (Paperback)
Nice book but found it a lot smaller than I anticipated for the price. Only has 62 pages and most of the instructions can be found free online. Nice to have but I would not have purchased it if I had seen it first.

Disappointing,
By Brenda Croy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scrapbooking with Cricut (Paperback)
I thought this book would provide me with new ideas and techniques; it did not. I thought the scrapbook layouts were unintersting and not very creative. It won't be much of a resource for me.

Great for geting Creative Juices Flowing,
By TBRS "TBRS" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scrapbooking with Cricut (Paperback)
I bought this for my wife and it's really gotten her creative juices flowing. She routinely flips through it, with notepad in hand scratching out new designs for cards and layouts. She's a beginning crafter and though some of designs are beyond her capability (for now) there are enough designs at variety of skill levels to prevent her from being frustrated. The variety of themes will also give her enough ideas for layouts for all the hundreds of pictures sitting in the shoe box in my office.This makes a great gift for any beginning crafter or to reignite the creative juices of the craft veteran. 18 of 20 people found the following review helpful

Very disappointing,

This review is from: Scrapbooking with Cricut (Paperback)
I was very disappointed. Even though Cricut is a new techique for scrapbookers, this book is outdated, presents basic, very poor projects to be done with Cricut. There is nothing new. It seems it was made to be used by children... I wish I could have my money back.
