Scrapbooking: back to basics is unlike most other books on scrapbooking in that it keeps the focus on the photos rather than on the embellishments that can overwhelm them. The title is technique-based with easy step-by-step instructions clearly illustrated with step-by-step photographs. Every technique, original as well as traditional, is illustrated with top quality photographs of finished pages where it has been applied. There is a load of tried and tested hints and tips, as well as cost-cutting advice scattered throughout the book. It contains all the information you need to get started and as it includes basic as well as advanced techniques it is suitable for both beginners and advanced scrapbookers. Over 150 sample pages will inspire and inform as captions tell you what you don't see, rather than stating the obvious.
