Scrapbooking Traditions

Celebrate your 'life in pictures.'
With a family history of Alzheimer's disease, celebrity Leeza Gibbons embraced scrapbooking as a way to preserve the memories that the disease takes away. What started off back then as 'glorified photo albums with a few stickers added' has evolved into Leeza's own clean, classic style. Her scrapbooking philosophy is straightforward: Keep it simple--often one photo with one little word says it all. All the pages in this book were created with easy, no-fuss techniques that guarantee great success with a small investment of time.

Structured as a conversation between you and Leeza, each chapter in Scrapbooking Traditions prompts you to explore important aspects of your life, such as family traditions, your children's wisdom, and the things you love. To get you going, Leeza shares some of the moments--big and small, silly and serious--that have made their way into her scrapbooks. Rich with her flair for storytelling, a strong sense of family, and a wonderful sense of humor, pages celebrate things like her son in a box, a tomato plant and grandma's blanket. Each chapter concludes with 'Leeza's ideas starters' to jumpstart pages that are uniquely yours. It's a great, instructional and entertaining read for both new and experienced scrapbookers.
