Layouts for Scrapbooking: Turn your memories into works of art
Scrapbooking is the perfect way of not only showing off photographs but also creating albums that will be treasured as family keepsakes and handed down from generation to generation. Moreover, the widespread availability of digital cameras and scanners, powerful home computers and high-quality, affordable colour printers has revolutionized the way
in which scrapbooks are put together. Yet designing attractive-looking pages and ending up with a professional result is not quite as simple as it looks - that's where Layouts for Scrapbooking offers the perfect solution.
Layouts for Scrapbooking comes with a CD packed with 50 pre-designed templates ready for you to copy onto your computer. Simply follow the instructions in the book to add your own photos to any of the templates, alter the design or change the text, fonts and colours as you wish. The CD also features 250 decorative objects such as ribbons and flourishes to provide the finishing touches.
Layouts for Scrapbooking includes helpful, easy-to-use, step-by-step instructions and is packed with ideas for incorporating digital photographs into a wide variety of exciting, imaginative layouts. Devised for both the novice and the experienced scrapbooker, it is an exceptional resource.
