Most scrapbookers are creative by nature, and most idea books have ideas in them that we could have easily come up with on our own. But "500 Great Heartwarming Expressions For Scrapbooking & Cards" by Sandy Redburn does not follow that train of thought...It is the idea book that every scrapper wishes they had come up with! For the phrases in this book---from romance to babies to pets---are beyond the average thoughts that one would want to include in their scrapbooks and cards! These "heartwarming expressions" are refreshing, lively, sometimes serious in nature, and sometimes just plain cute and fun! Everyone will find something they can use with the various themes in this book---whether you're scrappin' a layout about your grandfather's birthday or your child's first homerun---, because these expressions cover it all! Furthermore, reading this book will not only give you ideas, but it will put a big smile on your face...And that's something we could all use at one time or another!

I love all 4 books in the series but I think if I had to pick only one to own (heaven forbid!) than I would pick Book 4 because it is geared even more toward scrapbookers. This book also has a few full color idea pages for scrapbook layouts, but for me that didn't make that much difference. I just really liked the content of this book and found so many cute sayings and ideas that made me want to put down everything in my life and scrapbook all day! Some of the themes in this book are "Memory Lane", "Seasonal Sentiments", "Kids Zone" and "Scrapbook Fever" (my favorite!) You can copy graphics and sayings right from the book (the owners thankfully give you permission to do so for personal use) or you can trace them using a light box onto your scrapbook page itself. Or just use this book as a reference for ideas for titles and sayings for your scrapbooking. A great booster for journaling ideas. There are also full border pages to copy and use as backgrounds, stationary or pre-designed layout pages. Sure hope there will be a Book 5!

I love this book. It is full of cute expressions and clipart to use on scrapbook pages or cards. There are many topics to choose from including babies, cats and dogs, and seasons. I only wish it came with a cd so it would be easier to print them from my computer.
