If you are stuck for words or creative ideas you should find lots of inspiration in this newly revised edition of Another 500 Heartwarming Expressions For Crafting and Scrapbooking. The third of four books in this popular series, now includes lots more chunky lettering styles, page layout ideas, project instructions and now for the first time, color samples of projects are featured on the back cover. These new projects include a unique baby announcement card that pulls out of a paper ‘diaper’, 3 little angel photo face magnets, a couple of vellum ‘candle wraps’ that literally make photographs glow and four different scrapbook pages. Author, Sandy Redburn explains it was time to revise the books to tie in with their new line of stickers by artist Suzanne Carillo and to showcase more of the creative possibilities the books offer.

The beginning of the book explains how the right expressions can create warmth, personality and convey a special message. Then you get tips and ideas for hand lettering, tracing, photocopying, clipart techniques, and different ways to utilize the book with your computer to create scrapbook pages, cards, crafts and keepsakes. Scrapbooking has become the most popular way to use the books, because you can simply trace or copy any expression or design on vellum or paper and mat it to a scrapbook page or card.

The expressions are different in each book, but they are divided into a large variety of favorite themes and alphabetically tabbed in the top right corner for quick reference. Themes include Angels & Fairies, Babies, Blessings, Christmas, Country, Critters, Family, Fishing, Friendship, Funny Bones, Gardening, Golfing, Halloween, Hobbies, Home, Housework Stinks, Inspirations, Kitchen Quips, Love, Memory Lane, Over The Hill, Profound Proverbs, Sports, Summer Fun and Teddy Bears. You will find everything from heartfelt sentiments, mushy love stuff, inspirational quotes, to feel good sayings and funny quips.
