52 More Scrapbooking Challenges by Elizabeth Kartchner

There are challenges on spending 30 minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes on a layout with equally stellar results.Įlizabeth includes all different types of media in her work, always flawlessly incorporated into the layout. Elizabeth herself says she spends 3 hours on the average layout - and it shows. It includes good sources of inspiration as well as step by step tutorials - like making flowers from ribbon and crepe paper. So this book rates 5 stars *****, because it will take your scrapping to the next level if you take the time to do these challenges. Here's a perfect example of building on something you already know. I remember the visual triangle all the time for embellishments - but I do not apply the concept to photos. Challenge 50 - Arrange your photos in a visual triangle. It's not a 'brand new' idea, but the example layouts in the book make the inclusion of the card look flawless. Let me give you some examples: Challenge 28 - Include a note or greeting card. So what did I think?Īre these 52 completely original challenges that you will never have encountered before - No! Are these 52 challenges with examples that show you how attainable really great layouts are - Yes! Are these 52 challenges that are so well done it will have you rethinking even the simplest scrapbooking prompts - Absolutely! I bought the book because I'd seen so much buzz about Elizabeth Kartchner since she has recently premiered her Dear Lizzy line produced by American Crafts.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I'll be picking it up again and again this spring.
