Despite the craft's popularity, all the books flooding the market focus on the same images of weddings, baby showers, and Little League. So where's a scrapbooking rebel to go? ToScrap Cityof course. With its edgy and artistic points of reference, it fills the gap to reach those urban hipsters, downtown secretaries, big city divas, and small-town nonconformists. Along with a basics section and scrapping tips, is the piece de resistance: a gallery of real-life scrapbook pages from people of all stripes, from the single mom to the skate kid. These contributors celebrate their panty collection; reveal why single is fun; list their tattoos; and, yeseven redefine the baby shower.
