 Impressive and Inspiring! March 8, 2008

I have only had this book in my possession for about a week and I have already made a trip to the craft store to get a few new supplies and was up until all hours of the night the last few days trying the new techniques! I have been an avid scrapbooker and paper crafter for years, but this book showed me things I have never thought of or tried before and it opened a whole new world of possibilities and inspiration for me. Not only does the author present some great techniques, but she includes gorgeous color photos and easy to follow instructions. Any paper crafter can use the ideas in this guide and make them their own!
 A good gallery but very few explanations March 6, 2008

I have been disappointed by this book. There is a lot of visual examples of ATC cards, however the explanations on "how to do this-or that" are not vey detailled. Some interesting techniques to use for your ATC, but lack of information.

After reading all the glowing reviews I picked this up from the library. I don't particularly care for North Light Books after having "read" two of them now. They seem to be mostly people's personal journals and art published, and I end up flipping through them in 5 minutes.
This book goes a bit further than the other North Light Book, with more how-to techniques. Still, if you are learning mixed-media collage, a better choice would be The Crafter's Complete Guide to Collage by Amanda Pearce. I just finished that one and it's discusses everything from supports to materials in a well-presented manner. This book has a very limited audience, since it focuses on the artist trading card community.
ATC fun February 17, 2008
I love looking at the images in this book. This book goes beyond just making imagery with collage, mixed-media techniques are demonstrated that transform the images into works of art. Great book, worth the money.

I've only just started working through this book and, while the techniques are interesting, I'm disappointed to see the heavy emphasis (at least in the early lessons) on pre-made materials that are not available where I live. I would have preferred techniques that did not require me to go out and spend money on stamps and specialty inks; rather, to use materials that are commonly found in new and different ways. However, that point aside, the explanations, while brief, are easy to understand and include pictures for each step. There are many techniques to try and explore -- I intend to do as many of them as I can.
