Decorative embellishments allow scrapbookers to turn an average page into one that dazzles. However, using embellishments can be challenging, regardless of one's experience. In Scrapbook Embellishments, 10 Memory Makers Masters offer inspiration and direction for enhancing scrapbook pages with embellishments that feature the latest products and techniques.
Through dozens of diverse examples, covering a variety of themes, scrapbookers will learn how to create 150+ sensational scrapbook pages using: -Textiles (fabric, ribbon, lace, thread) -Organics (pressed flowers and leaves, sand, raffia) -Metallics (wire, zippers, engravings, mesh) -Papercraft (tags, folding, punch, quilling) -Baubles (beads, buttons, rhinestones, glitter)
Many ideas, keep coming back for more!Reviewed by LaurenMarie, 2010-01-11
Overall I really like this book and I'm happy I purchased it. It
has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities for types of
embellishments (particularly materials I can use and keep an eye
out for at certain events). Every time I flick through, I find
something new I missed before.
I like that there is a variety of scrapbooking styles; they aren't
all product heavy nor minimalistic. The embellishment types are
collected by material: organics (hemp, flowers, shells, etc.),
textiles (fabric, thread, ribbon, etc.), baubles (glass, glitter,
beads, rhinestones, etc.), paper and metallics (wire, paper clips,
eyelets, brads, etc.). There are some fun ideas for interactive
pages as well.
I wish there was a little more explanation on the techniques used
to create the embellishments and even product suggestions (I've
been scrapping for nearly 7 years - I'm not super-heavy into the
culture with magazines, tradeshows and such, though - and just
recently found "dimensional glaze" because no one ever listed the
product itself).
Some reviewers have said it's a little dated. Eh, maybe, but I
didn't really care. Everything comes back in style some time! And
if you always keep up with "the latest" your pages will look dated
in a few years, too. So I take what I like, make it my own and who
cares if it is/was/will be "trendy."

Better Books Out ThereReviewed by Ms. Zia, 2007-03-18
I am an avid scrapbooker and I use a lot of embellishments... but I found this book to be dated. There are newer, trendier books out there. My advice is to shop around.
Great Resource but a little datedReviewed by P. Cronk, 2007-03-09
The book provides great ideas for page layouts but is a little dated to today's modern scrapbooking. It provides information on techiniques to use but does not go into a "how to" for completing the techniques. Overall, I have enjoyed using this book as an inspiration for page layouts.
Don't waste your $$Reviewed by Mary V, 2007-02-21
I just bought this book and I've already put it in a bag to swap at the next scrapbooking crop. It's too cluttered w/uady ovr-the-top layout... and very few instructions for the few ideas I found interesting. Better to buy a few stamping magazines.
