Booklist
Scrapbookers already know the basic lesson: "It's not just photos anymore." But even those experienced in the craft will appreciate the fresh ideas Ure puts forth in this collection of more than 200 page plans, which brings together designs inspired by choice vacation spots across the globe. Crafters will find great-looking, full-color pages motivated by trips to Asia, Africa, Europe, and more to copy or adapt as they choose. For each sample scrapbook page, Ure provides a list of the materials used to create it and commentary about the design itself, often including hints that can be applied to other scrapbook projects. The crisp photos are, of course, in beautiful color to allow the various textures to show to full advantage. Scrapbookers won't let this stay on the shelf long. Stephanie Zvirin

Book Description
Vacations make the perfect scrapbook subject, and this colorful, inspiring guide shows how to capture those memories in a beautiful album. Every page suggests fabulously original ideas for layouts, and for incorporating beloved photos of interesting locales and family fun. These hints and tips keep things organized and great-looking: display keepsakes securely in a small florist’s, or semi-transparent, envelope. Frame paper edges prettily with patterned vellum. Create a “bulletin board” look with crisscrossed ribbon. Highlight a photo by using a mat smaller than the picture itself to create an image-within-an-image. The result: a scrapbook as interesting as the vacation itself.
