Avid crafters have known that scrapbooks have spawned an enormous number of unique and beautiful supplies, tools, and techniques that can be used to create hundreds of fabulous gifts, home decorations, jewelry and more.

Using scrapbook supplies, you can publish your own book; design your own cards, calendars and stationary; decorate frames, lampshades or coasters for your home; design your own jewelry using metal snaps, charms, and beads, and create the look of decoupage on candles, magnets, and trays with fantastic results. Set aside your stencils and use die-cuts to decorate rooms, doors, and mirrors; make your own jewelry, napkin holders, and tiebacks using ribbons and twill, and create holiday decorations and ornaments in minutes. And that is just the beginning.

In all, there are 25 how-to projects with step-by-step instruction, followed by variations of other materials that can be substituted. It is the perfect book for scrapbookers, paper artists, memory artists and crafters.
