Summary: You can't help but be inspired...
Comment: If you are not inspired to work on your photo albums (any kind of album) after reading this than I don't know what to tell you! This is a great book!
I was previously a Creative Memories Consultant but quit over a year ago to pursue my online interests in running my own free scrapbook school and newsletter (...) I believe in the "Creative Memories Way" but I also love lots of other products and at times have felt that CM consultants can be a little bit overzealous about making you feel that you are "bad" if you use anything that is not made by Creative Memories. I was curious to see if this attitude was reflected in the book. I am happy to report that it was not! This book could have easily turned in to one big commercial for Creative Memories but they resisted that "easy" route and wrote a book full of meaningful information, ideas, and inspiration for any type of scrapbooker. Believe me if you are a "binder person" or not even into "crafty" scrapbooking you will be pleased with what this book has to offer! And if you are a Creative Memories disciple (after all they are the best!) then you will not be disappointed either.
My favorite parts of this book were the stories told by Rhonda Anderson. She shares the emotions and passion that makes you want to preserve your own memories. She is like a personal cheerleader saying "You can really do this!" and she inspires you with her own examples.
The book is well worth the cost even just for the quotes and idea lists alone, but you will find much more than that. This is not a layout idea book, it is a book to explain and instruct the important role of memory keeper. Thanks for a great read!

Summary: A good read, but more History than How-To
Comment: I enjoyed reading this book, but it wasn't anything revolutionary. I don't need convincing about the importance of scrapbooking (or making photo albums as CM prefers to call it), but it was interesting reading about how Creative Memories got started.
If you're looking for inspiration to begin scrapbooking, this is an excellent book. If you're a beginner looking for practical advice about what supplies you need to buy and how to put your first pages together, look elsewhere. Also, most people have come to expect color photos in books about scrapbooking, and this book doesn't have those. I would love to see what some of the authors' very first pages looked like, wouldn't you?
I highly recommend the book "Michele Berbrandt's Scrapbook Basics" if you're a beginning scrapbooker (or even if you've been at it awhile!) looking for information on tools to buy, organization of supplies, cropping photos, journaling, putting together albums, and much more.
Happy scrapping!

Summary: Beyond the perfect page
Comment: So many scrapbookers are so focused on making their pages as pretty as possible that they lose sight of why even create albums in the first place. This book is a short but entertaining and absorbing read that brings us back to the importance of preserving our legacies.
