Vivian makes it look so easy! In her newest triumph, Cutting Edge, (Krause Publications) she takes ordinary scrapbooking tools and products and cleverly shows us how to make wonderful home decor and accessories. Only out of the amazing creative mind of this gifted artist could we find simple, elegant uses for papers, cutters, crimpers, punches and stencils to feather our nest so economically.

Who knew you could recreate and give new life to old worn out furniture this easily? Who but Vivian could have come up with a faux mosaic fireplace screen from photo paper? Not to mention the pillows, vases, floorcloths, lamp shades, and clocks. Vivian's desk accessories are the most elegant that I have ever seen, anywhere.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow, with step out photos that guide you all the way.Just when you thought it was time to put away all those scrapbooking supplies, Vivian comes along and says, "Wait! We're not done yet!"You gotta get this book.
