5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL BOOK.......2007-09-07

THIS BOOK IS VERY COMPLETE. FULL OF WONDERFUL IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS. GREAT JOB EXPLAINING PROCEDURES AND DIRECTIONS AND VERY COLORFUL. I HAVE ENJOYED THE BOOK ENOUGH THAT I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE FOR MY MOTHER.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding says it all.......2007-03-10

This book truly is outstanding. Michele never ceases to amaze me with what she comes up with in her scrapbooking. This is a unique and unusual collection of ideas that is well represented with beautiful photos and a full explanation of the technique used. However, I would say this book is for someone with basic scrapbooking knowledge since it is not written with detailed step by step instructions. The inserts next to each design are more about the inspiration for the pages and the technique used rather than a detailed instruction of that technique. Still, it was not hard to follow in creating these wonders. A great book to have.

4 out of 5 stars Good beginners book for scrapping! Many good ideas and techniques.......2006-11-03

I bought this book because I was getting started in scrapbooking. I have referred to it many times.

4 out of 5 stars wonderful ideas, but................2006-01-23

There are plenty of wonderful ideas in this book. But you must know that there are not step by step instructions. If you need some inspiration, then flip through this book and I'm sure you'll be inspired. Although some might say that it is dated (see review below), I think that there are still plenty of fabulous ideas and creativity in here. I would say that because of the lack of instruction and the fact that there isn't alot of information on scrapbooking supplies that it would be geared more towards the "pro" scrapper or a very adventurous and confident beginner.

2 out of 5 stars Too dated for me!.......2005-03-18

I wish I'd paid more attention to the publication date on this book. I also think the book should be subtitled: "A HISTORY of Scrapbooking and Memory Makers." There were few entries included that were from 2003, and many were from the late 1990's. Scrapbooking has changed so much in the last 8-10 years, and while this book serves as a great reminder of "look how far we've come!" it wasn't what I was looking for. Too many of the layouts featured are very dated. There were a few that I enjoyed, but those I probably already have seen from my years of getting the magazine!

Book Description

This amazing book has every possible airplane design from stunt plane to glider, from the normal dart, to the X-Wing. You don't need fancy paper to execute and you can also learn to make ninja stars and frogs, helicopters, and a pac-man head. If you love paper planes, get this book!

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Not Recommended.......2006-11-03

This book has the most horrible directions and diagrams immagineable! There is no glossary of terms the author uses in his instructions (what in the world is an "accordian fold" and how does one "accordian-fold the bottom sides"? What is a "bottom side"?) and the diagrams are poorly labelled. Children and their parents will end up with nothing but frustration.

5 out of 5 stars Tons of fun! Great book for a rainy day........2006-06-05

This is probably one of the greatest books I ever got as a gift growing up as a child. There are 40 different airplane instructions and 10 toy instructions. The airplanes truly are the highlight of this book. There are so many great airplanes and anyone (child or adult) could spend hours folding different airplanes and flying them through the air!

My personal favorite is the "Long Distance Champ." This airplane flies forever (supposedly up to 150 feet! Although none of mine have flown that far - of course my living room is only about 30 feet wide). I also enjoy "The Hunter," "The Origami-Nose Box Plane," and "The Ram Jet."

If you take care of kids I totally reccommend getting this book because it really is a great thing to pull out on a rainy day. The best thing about this book is every design only needs a normal sheet of white typing paper. You don't have to cut out pre-colored designs like many other airplane books.

4 out of 5 stars Lots of Fun.......2003-02-14

I never knew paper airplanes could fly so well. Right from the start you'll be able to build simple planes that fly straight and far. The short paragraphs about each plane, in which the author sometimes explains how he discovered the design of the plane, are fun to read. The flying tips included with some designs are helpful. The only problem with the book, and the reason I didn't give it five stars, is that the diagrams and instructions for some designs are confusing. For example, I can't build the last plane even after spending about an hour and several sheets of paper on it. It would be really helpful to have actual photographs of some of the more complicated planes at certain steps in the building process. Regardless, for me the book was worth it after I built plane number one.

4 out of 5 stars Fun book, be a kid and have some fun.......2001-12-16

This is a great book on paper airplanes and some origami paper toys. It is mostly about airplanes and there is airplane after airplane on page after page. No matter what you want your airplane to do, glide for long distance, do tricks or just plain look cool, it is in this book. Unlike some other books on this subject it does not have any premarked papers secured to the inside of the book that you can rip out and fold. On the other hand, these planes use ordinary paper and have such good illustrations that you can make them without any premarked patterns on the paper. I love the book. I've folded most of the planes and flew them. It makes me a popular person at children get togethers and allows me to be a child again once in a while myself.
The only thing that I don't like is that it has no theory of paper airplanes. If you fold one and it does not seem to be acting right then there is nothing in here that might teach you how to correct the problem. If you want to learn the aerodynamics involved in making a paper airplane act the way it does, how lift and drag affect the flight, etc, then this book is useless to you. But if you just want to follow the diagrams and make some great airplanes that are consistently fun, then this is your book.
Just "plane" fun.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful.......2001-02-12

This book is an amazing book. It has every possible airplane design you could ever want. If you want a stunt plane, you got it. If you want a glider, you got it. If you want a plane to smack your sister in the forehead, you got it. This is the book for you! (cheesy smile here)

4 out of 5 stars Very Pleasing.......2007-05-01

I bought this book not to color in, but as a source for clear line drawings of flowers to use in other design work. It works very well for that, with nice, unfussy illustrations of the flowers. Just as important as the blooms, the leaves and stems are also accurately rendered. There is very little addition (birds, butterflies, etc.) - that's fine with me, but some users might want a more detailed picture to color. The small colored guide pic's are apparently done in colored pencil, and provide a lot of detail for realistic coloration.

My one reservation is that some of the illustrations don't show the blooms full-on, but only in profile and 3/4 views. I always want to be able to see how the center of a flower is constructed. Overall, though, very nice.

5 out of 5 stars A Gardeners Must Have.......2007-04-11

Whther your thumb is green or black you cannot go wrong with this. I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5 out of 5 stars Great for Elderly or Alzheimers Patients .......2007-03-16

I purchased this coloring book for my grandmother who has Alzheimer's. It helps her feel as if she is accomplishing something and also she is using her mind and hands to stay in the lines. It's an ideal coloring book for anyone who wishes to color like they use to.

5 out of 5 stars Love to color and learn.......2006-11-04

My daughter has enjoyed learning the names of different flowers and then coloring them. She remembers them more because she has a chance to color them. We also use the internet to look up the different flowers and learn more about them and what colors they are. She enjoys this also and it helps her to create her masterpiece.

5 out of 5 stars Garden Flowers Coloring Book.......2002-07-15

Thank you Amazon for carrying a wonderful selection of Stefen Bernath's books!! I use this particular book, by Stefen as a guide for watercolour sketching and painting. Garden Flowers contains a collection of more than thirty common flowers showing detailed shape and colour, including colour guilds that can be referred to for accuracy. An excellent reference book.

Book Description

It’s the classic, world’s bestselling paper airplane book, grounded in the aerodynamics of paper and abounding with fun. The World Record Paper Airplane Book raises paper airplane making to a unique, unexpected art. This new edition boasts four brand-new models: Stiletto, Spitfire, Galactica, and Sting Ray. Added to its hangar of proven fliers—including Valkyrie, Hammerhead, Vortex, Condor, Pterodactyl, and, of course, the famous World Record Paper Airplane—that makes twenty airworthy designs. Each is swathed in all-new, attention-grabbing graphics and is ready to tear out, fold, and fly. There are at least five models for each design and all-important instructions for how to adjust and throw each plane for best flight.

But the planes are just the beginning. The book features tons of cool information on aerodynamics, competitions, and designing your own high-performing models. Readers will learn why paper airplanes fly (and why they crash), the history of Ken Blackburn’s world record, and how to organize and win contests. Also included is a flight log and pull-out runway for practicing accuracy.

5 out of 5 stars better than recycling.......2007-06-30

I have too much scrap paper. I was going to throw it out, but at the last moment I decided instead to buy The World Record Paper Airplane Book. Taking a sheet of scrap off the pile, I was able in a minute or two to make an Interceptor, which when launched sailed across the room and slid behind the bookcase. Scrap problem solved. I also discovered that if you make The Hornet with an extra fin in the back it boomerangs back to you when you throw it. Good times.

5 out of 5 stars Still picking up the paper.......2007-02-20

I am still finding paper airplanes in various places throughout my house 3 months after giving this to my son.

5 out of 5 stars how cool is that?!!.......2007-01-10

The World Record Paper Airplane Book is a really great item for those hard-to-buy-for preteen boys. my son received an earlier version of it some years ago and he had a ball with it (so did his older brother). they made and flew every plane in the book and then were inspired to invent their own designs. anyway, they liked it so much that i got the new version for my nephew for Christmas, and he, too, just loves it. kudos to the authors!

4 out of 5 stars Seems to me a good book.......2005-09-23

I have not used it yet but based on the first glance, I belive we will be able to get a great benefit out of this purchase.

5 out of 5 stars UP, UP, AND AWAY!.......2005-03-31


Few of us have not taken a piece of paper, creased a few strategic folds, and then lofted our paper plane into the air. For those of us who still enjoy the fun, mischief, and creativity involved in such a pastime, here's the perfect book.

Aerospace engineer Ken Blackburn and mechanical engineer Jeff Lammers have mixed science and innovation to give us everything needed.

Containing 100 full-color, ready-to-fold paper airplanes ranging from the simple to state-of-the-art streamlined, this colorful volume enables us to form the Basic Dart, do loops with the Stunt Plane, and even propel a replica of the NASA space shuttle.

In addition to the planes, the well executed text offers a plethora of information about aviation and flying. There's even a section on how to stage contests, and a flight log is included.

Up, up and away!

5 out of 5 stars a homeschooling treasure.......2007-02-12

One of the problems with many history texts is their focus on warfare and military history -- fine as far as it goes, but not the only human story worth telling. This coloring book, featuring 27 architectural and engineering feats from 3500 BC - 1325 AD, is a great way to approach history in a non-militaristic way, looking at constructive accomplishments as a lens through which to discuss civilizations. Each entry has a couple of paragraphs of informative text. A very nice book.

The 27 wonders are: the Parthenon, Temple of Artemis, the Olympian Zeus, Mausoleum, Colossus of Rhodes, Lighthouse of Alexandria, Pyramids at Giza, Great Sphinx, Abu Simbel, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Petra, Persepolis, Stonehenge, Colosseum, Taj Mahal, Shwedagon Pagoda, Borobudur Temple, Angkor Wat, Great Wall of China, Stone Heads of Easter Island, Banaue Rice Terraces, Machu Picchu, Tikal, Palenque, Tenochtitlan, Mont-Saint-Michel and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

5 out of 5 stars Really Neat.......2005-01-20

This is a great book to color. It shows all the wonders of the Ancient World as well as many "newer" wonders, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Macchu Picchu. A fun challenge to pick your colors, and interesting information about each site. Highly recommended.

Book Description

Every scrapbook is a personal treasury, filled with our most cherished photographs and keepsakes. Don’t those special memories deserve distinctive, individualized background displays? Of course they do! With these creative ideas, it’s simple to produce one-of-a-kind background papers. Experiment with almost 40 techniques, from faux finishing (sponging, marbling, crackling) to brushing, stamping, and lettering. Make impressions of a child’s hand on paper for an adorable handprint border. Produce a stunning tone-on-tone effect by scraping drops of paint across the paper’s surface with an ordinary credit card. Photos of the finished pages showcase the variety of looks each technique can yield.

I have to admit that I'm kind of embarrassed that I didn't think of some of these ideas myself. They're so simple! But they're very effective. There are lots of ideas in here for producing some interesting backgrounds for your scrapbook pages or other art projects.

5 out of 5 stars Great Inspiration and ideas.......2007-05-10

I just ordered this book and already I have found things I want to try and create. This book is a FANTASTIC addition to my scrapbooking library. I feel from the step by step instructions I can create my own pages and have fun making my own paper. This book shows me that I can take basic items from home and my scrapbook supplies and make my own special paper to enhance the story for my photos. I also think it will help me try new things that I was always afraid to try. MY 8 year old daughter is excited to try these techniques as well. I think this book is not only for scrapbookers but for all papercrafters and artists.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing!.......2007-04-13

This book has changed the way I view my scrapbook pages and layouts. Melynda uses ordinary household items (who would have thought to use bubble wrap?) to make extraordinary designs that will make your scrapbook stand out from the crowd. No longer content to choose paper from the local store, I've been challenged to design my own so that my scrapbook is truly unique to me. The pictures are beautiful and the instructions are clear. They are easy enough for even the most novice of scrapbookers to follow along with to create their own works of art! I recommend this book to the scrapbook artist who wants to move to the next level.

5 out of 5 stars Creative Colorful Book!.......2007-04-13

Painted Scrapbook Pages is an attractive, interesting, and
helpful book. Any scrapbooker, from the novice to the expert,
can use these helpful hints to add creativity to their personal
scrapbooks. The book includes clear pictures, a list of
materials and tools, which are easily accessible, and step
by step procedures. Each technique also includes pictures of finished
layouts for ideas on how the technique can be used in a
scrapbook. I purchased a second copy for my high school
library for the art students and scrapbook enthusiasts.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2007-04-12

This book was very interesting and it gave me lots of ideas that I can use in my own scrapbook...plus the layouts and pictures were very well put together!

Book Description

The ultimate papercrafters' book is here! This treasure trove filled with ideas, inspirations, and 120 projects is the natural follow up to the super success of Michaels Book of Arts & Crafts (300,000 copies sold to date!).

Scrapbookers, book crafters, card makers, decoupage, and paper Mache enthusiasts-they number in the millions and their industry generates billions of dollars each year. Now there's a Michaels crafts book just for them, representing the most popular, fastest-growing crafts in North America.

An incredible variety of ideas is showcased in this one jam-packed colorful volume; every single item is inviting, each technique intriguing, and all the newest tools and papers are presented so that anyone at any level can create professional effects right at home. Most of the projects in the 10 chapters are both exquisite and functional, and range from home decorating accessories (lampshades, photo frames, placemats) to keepsake items (journals, books, cards, scrapbooks), and from great gifts to holiday ornaments.

Magnificent full-color project and how-to-photographs bring the techniques to life and make them easy to follow. Here's an irresistible invitation to explore collage, paper clay, paper weaving and surface design. Stamped and embossed cards look like the expensive ones found in stores, paper clay dragonflies sparkle and shimmer; an elegant wedding announcement features fine embroidery and a tiny silver heart. These pages provide nothing less than endless inspiration.

A Main Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

5 out of 5 stars Checked out of the Library and decide I want this book.......2006-10-24

Loved this book when I began flipping thru it. I always check books out of the Library to see if it would be worth me getting. This one is if you love paper.

3 out of 5 stars Lots of interesting ideas for decorating with paper.......2006-02-05

The 'Michaels' in the title of this craft book refers to the Michaels craft store chain. If you're interested in an overview of just about everything decorative that can be done with paper, including paper clay, decoupage, paper maché, punching, embossing, cutting, piercing, quilling, rolling, and weaving then this will be a useful book.

For those of us who have already concentrated on particular paper techniques such as quilling or scrap-booking, then there are other craft books that focus on our specialty.

There are some really crazy projects in this book, which makes it fun to read. There are collaged and curled lamp shades, paper clay dragonflies, or how about a decoupaged holiday curio cabinet? The photographs, lists of materials, and directions are fairly easy to follow, but the individual projects would have been simplified if the book contained more patterns.

I did pick up a couple of unusual quilling techniques using crimped paper, and I was also able to make the woven heart envelopes (I used them as card decorations) described in this book. The woven heart envelope project was one of the few that included templates in four different sizes.

Another omission in this book was a list of sources where you could pick up the materials for a particular project. Maybe everything I need is available in a Michaels craft store but there aren't any in my area, and it appears as though they no longer sell their supplies on the internet.

4 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Paper Crafts Book.......2005-12-22

I disagree with the reviewer who described the projects as mainly suitable for children. This is a well written, well designed book which can serve as an able introduction to various paper crafts. Yes, some of the material is available on the web, but you would need to test the instructions you found. My experience has been that Lark Books are good and that is true of this book.

1 out of 5 stars GROSSLY OVERPRICED; projects only fit for young children.......2005-06-22

This book is grossly overpriced. Other than the origami (which is lovely, but you could buy a number of excellent origami books for the cost of this atrocity), the projects seem intended for young children -- and inept ones at that. There are many excellent craft books, magazines, and videos available, and cable television produces some outstanding shows (e.g., the Carol Duvall reruns, and I've heard great things about DIY, although we don't get that in my area). Don't waste your money on this overpriced garbage!

    5 out of 5 stars Beats the heck out of paint-by-numbers........2000-01-26

    Like many other coloring books in the Dover Series, "Tropical Flowers" is suited for older children, adults & a good set of colored pencils. Also painlessly educational. Beats the heck out of paint-by-numbers.
