The Big Picture
Stacy Julian
Softcover
132 pages

This is one of my favourite books – it gives such beautiful insight, and taps into the core and purpose of scrapbooking – which is of course to preserve memories, celebrate our lives and apply our own unique creativity. There are no particular “how-to” techniques, but there are examples of pages and projects that will inspire you to create layouts and scrapbooks that are relevant to your own lives and record and celebrate your own experiences. Most importantly, the author, Stacy Julian gives you the confidence to know that you have our own scrapbooking journey to tred, and as long as you are celebrating and safeguarding your memories, you are on the right track.


What we thought...

This is a book that you will refer to time after time.  It is a staple “must-have” in your scrapbooking library. The book is timeless and relevant, particularly in assisting each of us to deal with our own emotional issues – “Are my pages good enough?” “Have I done it right?”  “ I never have enough time to get all of my scrapbooking done”  and just trying to keep up with everything (and clear the backlog), particularly if we are scrapbooking in chronological order. I believe that after you read this book and apply the principles you will lose all of your guilt and really enjoy the freedom of knowing you are creating something special, no matter what order it may be in.

We particularly liked...

The way the book is laid out so simply, and divided into 3 “chapters” – pages, projects and other stuff. There are really cool envelopes with inserts to give you inspiration, and at the back there are a series of tags supplied to get you started on your own tag album. This tag album will get you started on your creative thinking about what is important in every aspect of your life. Simply love it!
