Book Review: Clean and Simple Scrapbooking, by Cathy Zielske

OK, this is kind of an easy first review -- anyone who knows my various Scrapbooking predelictions knows that Cathy Z is my total scrapbook idol. As an instructional book, this is a good one, with Cathy's well-written and clear explanation of various Graphic Design terms and concepts. As an idea book, it is even better, with lots of CZ's fabulous layouts for ideas on how to create a sleek, modern layout.....Best of all is the "philosophy of scrapbooking" talk all mixed in -- I, for one, love the "Simple Scrapbooks" idea of pulling only your favorite photos out of the shoebox, leaving the rest for the rainy day that never comes.....The day I freed myself from the tyranny of "being caught up" was the day I really started to love and appreciate the expressive power of scrapbooking. A must read! Available by clicking the link below...at least I think...this is a new blog trick for me.....
