Wow! As I flip through the pages in this book, I am in utter amazement—I had no idea you could do so much with simple little slide mounts! Leave it to the design team at Hot Off The Press (Susan Cobb, Shauna Berglund-Immel, Paris Dukes and LeNae Gerig) to come up with so many bright ideas. From cute and whimsical to elegant, there’s something for every page, card and tag. Slide Mount Mania even includes 43 vellum images and 44 overlay images perfectly-sized for slide mounts—it’s a great way to get started!
