 What a great book! December 18, 2005

After reading the other review of this book, I hesitated to buy it. However, my sister recommended it, so I took a chance and I'm so glad I did! I consider myself a knowledgeable paper crafter but I learned several good hints for using punches that I had not heard before on the first few pages I read. I have a drawers full of punches and I used them occasionally but I hadn't realized their potential until I saw this book. There are techniques that show how to turn simple punched shapes into works of art. Almost every sample amazed me with the creativity of the artists. I found the instructions clear and easy to follow, even for someone who can't draw.
While it's true this book is geared toward making scrapbook pages and that is something I do infrequently, these techniques can easily be applied to card making and other paper crafts. The ideas can be adapted to die cuts as well. I know that this book will not only help me get more and better use of my punches and die cuts but it will also improve the quality of my designs!

This book has great photos of scrapbook layouts & the use of punch art in the layout, BUT.. the detail photos of the actual coloring of your punch art are only about the size of a quarter. I bought the book to see how to color my punch art & use it in various applications. The images are so small it makes it difficult to see where color was applied & how. The written descriptions are very brief & deal mostly with laying out the scrapbook page & not with the actual coloring steps used. I was disappointed. I expected more emphasis on the coloring of the punched items. A beter title might have been "Scapbook Layouts with Punch Art".
