5 Stars WOW!
This is a must-read BEFORE you start scrapbooking. If you have already started, then you should read it so you get rid of that overwhelming feeling like you are always behind …
5 Stars Stacey Julian is an INSPIRATION
We all have pictures sitting in boxes, Stacey lets us know we don’t have to scrap every single picture, just take a look at simple things, special times with family and friends, and just have a good time playing with your albums. Don’t stress out with your pictures, just enjoy. Since I’ve had my book, I’ve read it twice, everytime I re-read more ideas and inspiration comes to me. This book is definitely worth the read, and your time. ENJOY!!!!
“the BIG picture” book sits on my nightstand, eery time I read it gives me more inspiration from Stacey. SHE’S MY INSPIRATION!!!
1 Star Didn’t inspire me in the least
I bought this book because I’d heard how it took the “guilt” out of being behind in scrapbooking and because it makes you look at scrapbooking in a whole new way. It did neither for me. For me, scrapbooking has always been about preserving my memories. It also gives me a creative outlet. I thought her organizational system was interesting, but it would never work for me. I may not scrap in chronological order, but I’d like my layouts to at least flow in some sort of chronological order. I also thought her layouts in the book were horrible and completely uninspiring. For a few great scrapbook idea books, I would go with Jeanette Lynton’s books, Cherish, Imagine, and Reflections.
5 Stars This Book Changed the Way I Scrapbook!
I love this book and know I will use it as a resource for many years to come. Her focus on the memory first, rather than the pictures is awesome. I’ve tended just to chronologically work on albums and wanted to get away from it for years, this album gives you lots of ways to start in a new direction. Her layouts are inspiring but mostly it is the heart that she shares. I highly recommend this book.
5 Stars Stress Free Scrapbooking- The Best!
Stacy Julian has set me free from scrapbooking chronilogically
and feeling behind. Scrapbooking can now be the hobby
I always wanted it to be, filled with joy and not feeling
guilty like I am “behind in my work”!
I wish I had this book 5 years ago, I highly recommend
this book whether you are new to this hobby or
a seasoned expert. It will change how you view your
photos and albums. Bravo Stacy!!
