My Creative Companion 2 is one of my favorite books that Creating Keepsakes put out. I love Becky Higgins anyway, but this book really has it all. I never did get the first book, but if she ever does a 3rd MCC, I would be the first in line to buy it!
The first thing I like about this book is the fact it is smaller and well organized for you to use. By using this book, you are able to really get a kick start on the items you want to create, simply grab your photos and start to go through the book to get a few ideas for your own project.
The second thing about this book is everything is color coordinated, tabbed, and with layout examples included in each section. The chapters included are accents, borders, journaling and titles, layout design, photo mats, odds & ends, my ideas and then color coordinated stickies to flag certain items you are working on.
This book is currently on sale at http://www.shopscrapandpapercorner.com/productdetail/CK31006/--My-Creative-Companion-2.htm for $11.99. Great for mom for Mothers Day, or for yourself! Add to it a few supplies you pick up on sale, and a basket from the $1 store, and you are done!
As you look at the book, you will find embellishments, or titles that you want to recreate. This gives you the basic idea for it, tweak as you need to, with what you have available to you! If you see a certain thing you want to do, but don't have all the exact supplies, learn to tweak it a bit! It's not about spending all this money, but about putting your memories down on paper!
I hope you enjoy this great book, show me some of the projects you have made, or tell me your favorite part of the book if you have it!
