Show and Tell from Making Memories

Posted by: | Comments (1)

show and tell

Making Memories has a new book that’s shipping to stores right now. It’s called “Show & Tell”. I love the idea behind this book. The creators behind it realize that scrapbookers have a lot of stuff, stuff that don’t always get used. This book promises to show us how to get those products out of the stash and use them in new and exciting ways.

The approach for this book was to show LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of ways to use products that you most likely already have in your scrapbooking stash. Show & Tell dusts off classical embellishments and gives them new purpose. The result: beautiful, creative projects that show off favorite pictures, capture journaling, and that beg to be shared.

Each of the book’s nine chapters feature a range of traditional embellishments, and pairs them with projects and how-to’s that put a new twist on its purpose. Glitter, for example, is re-purposed to create a new look for a sheer frame, while rub-ons over flowers add a new look with visual interest to any project.

Learn about the new book at the Making Memories blog this week. Meet the designers and find out how they created the projects featured in “Show & Tell”.
