Chapters and layouts are grouped by life events including weddings, babies, birthdays, holidays, celebrations, travel and everyday memories. Each chapter presents scrapbook design techniques such as photo cropping, journaling, layout and use of patterns. Advanced techniques include text on a curve, photo border design and electronic sharing via email and websites. This book caters for all levels of expertise and as such will be a popular read for all of those interested in home design and scrap-booking.
