| Book Description:
"I am one of those scrapbookers who can never seem to get started on a layout. I push paper and embellishments around for hours and still have no success, but since I got my copy of 500 Scrapbooking Sketches (affectionately known as my Bible) I have been completing pages in no time! I've even had to buy a new album because I've filled my other albums! Thank you so much!" – Jaine Collins, Australia And it just keeps getting better and better! My endless trail of pictures has become manageable...and I became “super woman like” to my fellow scrapbookers as if I have special creative powers. It's not magic at all! What I discovered had nothing to do with my ability to be creative or knowing where to start. . . and everything to do with these little insider scrapbooking secrets I discovered. These secrets involved using “Scrapbooking Sketches” I luckily uncovered this shortly after I got started back in 2004. Back then, I was looking to socialize with other family-oriented women who wanted to share their every day stories with supportive friends, swap ideas and have some fun. Trust me I know what it feels like to stare aimlessly at a blank page for hours. In fact, I used to get so frustrated and upset when I would go scrapbooking with my sister-in-law, because by the time I would get one page almost finished (if I was lucky to get one completed) she would already have 5 or even 6 beautiful pages put together. I keep wondering how this was possible. Maybe I lacked the creativity gene needed to produce work you would be proud to show your family. Imagine how this felt - showing up week after week - with only half-finished pages. I think my family was starting to feel sorry for me. I'm sure they thought I was wasting my time and should throw in the towel and quit. Lucky for you I didn't. In fact, I began producing awe-inspiring pages during the commercials of my favorite tv show...and in a flash of insight, I had found the truth: I have to confess to you - I was no longer a slave to the creativity “monster” - I will explain how all this works later – how I was able to come up with stunning page designs, while expressing my unique personality. Yet it was never stressful...easy to get started and so much more enjoyable. The overlooked and often forgotten technique of using Scrapbooking Sketches is so simple, yet so effective, that anyone – anyone -- can use it to instantly transform dull-blank pages into fabulous masterpieces exploding with colour, gorgeous patterns, stunning embellishments and what ever else your imagination can dream of. Using only your precious photos and your favourite scrapbooking supplies. . .you'll have all the other women drooling over your latest creations. How can this simple secret do all this for you? Easy. . . because this secret. . . Anyway, there's a good reason I'm telling you all this. You see, since 2004 the only way to begin using these amazing Scrapbooking Sketches was if you were to somehow stumble upon the free sketches I had been publishing online. These designs were small and hard to see, let alone figure out how to use them properly. Plus nothing was organized, meaning if you wanted to create a page with more than one photo, you had to search through the entire archive . . . basically eating up your entire scrapbooking time. That was up until recently when I decided to put my nose to the grind stone and transform 500 of the best sketches into easy-to-find organized sections which include: As you more than likely already know, the biggest time wasters for scrappers includes indecision and procrastination. However, the minute you apply a sketch, you’ve already passed up these two monsters and your battle is half way over. With a quick glance you'll know exactly how everything will look and flow so you just “fill-in-the-blanks”. Now you can begin to see how much time these “Scrapbooking Sketches” can save you. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Let me show you what else you can achieve:
