My son said "This is a book made for girls mom!"

And I have to admit that Lizzie Lees' Create Your Own Collage book hits me that way too.  This is a use it up, have fun making different items with it, you go girl type of book.

And that my friends, is the point of the book, creative projects with all the paper and stickers and encouragement you need to do them. 

There are two, two page spreads like this one:

Sticker pages

Tons of colourful pages, with idea pages of what you can do with those pages.

Projects to complete like this neat pineapple

Off and on throughout the book you will find quotes to encourage you along the way.

So what do I think of this book?   It's a cute book and I plan to find some daring youngster to give it to, and simply say.. HAVE FUN!   Create, enjoy, be an artist in your own way.   Make collages if you want, but here's a book with lots of paper, just go and create!   (unless of course my lad changes his mind and thinks we should add it our stash of creative supplies).  :)   He does that you know.  :)

I have to admit, she comes up with so many different ideas on what you can do with collages, it surprised me.   I really liked some of her projects, like the boat and pineapple, with the right pages and the patience, those projects could come out really really well....but maybe that's the slightly girlie part of me.  (big grin)
