bouquets, plus guidance on the aftercare and handling of the
finished pieces. Paper Flowers is the new Paperback edition of
Paper Flower Art (Hardback) 9781784945442.
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.

a suite of pure delight. Everything Is Made Out of Magic Wrapping
