Remember your own wedding or give as a gift for newly weds! Close-up images show how layouts have been made while the techniques are easy to follow.

Most scrapbookers include photos of ancestors or weddings in their albums, and here are two books showing you how to make the most of those all-important pictures.

I often find that if an author's photos or style is totally unlike mine then the book does not inspire me, but this is not a problem here as it is multi-contributor. Ms Aitman's work is in here too of course, but along with that of eight other designers. Each page is on a different topic, and this is bound to get those creative juices flowing. In Heritage for example, preserve those precious family stories before they vanish forever with themes such as vacations, wartime memories, childhood, places etc. Here too are ways of how to make black and white photos more interesting, using memorabilia and making minibooks. Love and Marriage does the same with this theme, and at the end I was left with quite a few more ideas to play around with.
