Marina has compiled her third collection - Creative Scrapbook

with the on-going popularity of scrapbooking in general, it's
probably also because the projects in these books are

fulfilling a need even when crafters have less disposable income
than previously. Marina's versatile and internationally unique
3-dimensional figurine technique allows the scrapper to replicate
the projects as presented, or to use the templates and elements to
create personalised layouts. Included in the templates are
figurines, frames, letters, titles, tags, journaling and envelopes.
The 40+ themes covered in this title are suitable for girls and
boys (from babies to adults), birthdays, festivals and special
events, weddings, memories, pets and simply good times. Accompanied
by full-colour photographs, instructions are clear and easy to
understand, for both advanced and beginner scrappers.

Paper - both affordable and universally available - is possibly the
most versatile material in the crafter's kit box. In this new book
from Quadrille's Simple Makes series, Christine Leech demonstrates
30 original and creative ideas for lovely papercraft projects. Some
of the projects are simply drawn and cut, such as the fish mobile
or rose gift tag, whilst others are constructed and glued, for
example a cute yet practical stationery birdhouse that holds
paperclips inside and has Post-It note tiles on its roof. A few
slightly more advanced projects involve special techniques, such as
the beginners' bookbinding method used to create the hand-bound
Japanese-style notebooks or the wedding guest book, but everything
is easily achievable by following the clear, step-by-step
instructions and guides.
Featuring colorful photographs of William Wegman's iconic dogs

A fresh new crafting approach which demonstrates that elaborate
artworks can be created from a humble sheet of paper. Building on
basic paper engineering and cutting techniques the projects
increase in difficulty, from the first few die-cut sheets, from
which the crafter 'pops' out the pieces to create the artwork, to
more technical curling and quilling in a floral bouquet, and a
bicycle sculpture as the final project. Notepad binding allows the
pages to be smoothly extracted from the book, and a section of
coloured and patterned sheets are included to use as backgrounds
that add an extra dimension. There are also clear instructions to
accompany photographs of the completed projects and each key
technique is explained in detail. The finished projects can be
displayed around the home to astonishment and admiration of family
and friends. One Sheet Sculpture - The Great Outdoors contains 20
artworks on a springtime theme to make from a single sheet of
paper: Kingfisher; Umbrella in an April Shower; Swan with Signets;
Tree and Bird Box; Easter Chick and Egg; Koi Carp Pool; Lambs in
