Scrapbook manufacturers offer products that fit into each of these popular styles: Contemporary, Retro, and Victorian. This book capitalizes on the versatility of these design periods, creating a stylish package that really captures and explores each look. Scrapbookers are always looking for new inspirations. Currently, there are scrapbooking books on techniques, layouts, and themes, but there are no books that focus on particular styles. This series offers scrapbookers an in-depth style book containing a period overview, a "samplings" section that includes color palettes, papers, stamps, clip art and embellishments, and then a range of techniques, mini projects, and layouts, that all fit into the style theme. Readers will learn to successfully design pages that incorporate all the elements of each period, with clever style and flair.

You will be inspired and thrilled by the images you can create using Projection Stenciling. This new technique, created by Linda Buckingham and Leslie Bird, overcomes the design limitations and expense that, unfortunately, can exist with traditional stenciling methods. Now you can turn almost any image into a design of any size...to be stenciled onto virtually any surface. Want to turn a photo of your dog into a stencil, animate your child's room with a one-of-a-kind mural, or create "etched" glass mirrors and "inlaid" wood tabletops? You can do all this, easily and economically, with Projection Stenciling as your guide. More complex projects used to cost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars using commercial stencils and were limiting in terms of the time required and designs available. Now your tool chest can be as simple as a roll of freezer paper, a felt pen, access to a photocopier and some basic stenciling supplies. Light projectors, easy to rent and surprisingly inexpensive to buy, make this technique even easier. Inside this beautiful, full-color book, you will find the tools and techniques of Projection Stenciling, step-by-step instructions for over 40 projects and the inspiration to embark on your own designs - all guided by the lively banter of the authors, Linda and Leslie. Beginning and experienced crafters alike can realize transformations of personal space and household belongings within just a few hours. With Projection Stenciling, your imagination is the only limit!
