Mattes and More: Step-by-Step Designs for Scrapbookers
Mattes and More StepbyStep Designs for Scrapbookers Author:Christine Smith This new idea book, released October 1999, is chock full of elegant and versatile designs for accenting your pages. There are a lot of consumable items on the market that you can purchase (at a premium price!) to add to your pages but you can easily lose the personal look if you never use any hand-drawn items or accents. The ideas in this book a... more »re presented in a step-by-step fashion, making it easy for you to get excellent results on your pages. (Even if you think you can't draw at all) There are lace designs, all-occasion versatile designs, ribbons, streamers, film borders, and much much more. It also contains 8 full page layout ideas using all hand-drawn elements. One of the nicest things about this book is that it is designed to SAVE you money since you won't have to run to the store for every little page accent. Money saving examples:
Draw a film border (in the exact shade and size you want) on the left and right-hand sides of a 12" x 12", two page spread and you will save $1.50 - $2.00 off the price of two 12 inch border stickers.
Draw a lace frame (in the exact shade and size you want) around one photo and save $7.00 - $10.00 off the price of a single-sized (less versatile) rubber stamp.
In other words, using just 2 of the over 125 designs in this book can save you more than the cost of the book itself!!« less
