This is a very nice book. I enjoyed the projects and got some good ideas, particarly the simple book and the shadow box which I will definitely be making. For my taste personally there was a bit too much stamping on velvet, material, and jewelry. I would have preferred more paper crafts. But it is "making gifts...". SO I will definitely dig up more books with stamping on paper by Sandra McCall. I also recommend Tim Holtz' An Altered Journey DVD. He makes a cool brayer embossing gift & cool domino book. I love Penny Black stamps, they are my favorite, so I'm always on the lookout for anything using those materials.

The instructions are precise and easy to follow! And once again, Ms. McCall lends a new angle to the art and craft of stamping! Bravo!
