I hi. Stephanie B. Carr said A book of sheer beauty. To begin with, this book is beautiful--even if you aren't a crafter looking for ideas and inspiration for your own projects, if you have any affinity at all for antique ephemera (I love it), you will be mesmerized as you leaf through the pages of this gorgeous book. The images are truly lovely, but the suggestions are also very informative and helpful to both the experienced and novice paper artist. I can't recommend it highly enough as a valuable resource and a most enjoyable read.. Beautiful book, great ideas. I hope there will be more from this same author of the same quality of work. All her projects are so nicely done and well displayed. Inspirational.
