Nice designs, but needs to be longer and organized differently

I bought this coloring book for myself, since most of the popular adult coloring books feature boring patterns. This book wasn't exactly what I was expecting (something organized by decades, perhaps).  It had fewer pages and was organized by types of clothing (jewelry, shoes, hats & gloves, pants, evening gowns, skirts, blouses, etc.).  The accessories pages are a little more boring to color.  However, the illustrations are well drawn, and the gowns are a delight to color.  I just wish there were more of it, with more outfits to color.

I like this beautiful deck quite a lot, but honestly wish it came in a larger format so the designs could be more clearly seen.

I loved Imagimorphia so I wanted to like this one just as much. Unfortunately too many of the designs are more like an activity book. I am not a talented artist. I don't want to have to finish the design myself.

Beautiful designs, high quality paper, however it was a bit confusing that description states 24 sheets but the cover design only shows 22 patterns.  The additional two pages are solid red and solid orange.  Also, each of the 24 pages are double-sided with a different pattern on each side, so there are actually two copies of each design.

This book has 24 zodiac themed designs--each of the 12 zodiac signs has a full page design, paired with a zodiac symbol centered on the page (see my photos).  The book feels very thin, because sadly, the pages are double sided. (The paper is the same thickness as all the Amazon Createspace coloring books). This means you cannot use most markers, and even some gel pens. I don't like that I can actually see the design on the following page right through the paper. (I used Colleen colored pencils on my colored page).

Details:
-24 pages to color
-Double-sided printing
-8.5x11" size
-Best suited for colored pencils or crayons
-All of the designs are a medium level of complexity
-The line art is sharp and clean.

Overall, the book has some really cool designs, but I prefer my coloring pages to be single-sided so I can use a wider range of media.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, and my opinions are based on my actual user experience.

The calendar contains beautiful art, but there is too much text (e.g. long biblical quotes, descriptions of Jewish lore, candle lighting times, etc.) crammed onto the calendar pages, leaving very little room to write anything in the date boxes. Very pretty, but not very practical.

If you're buying this book for more layout ideas, you might want to look elsewhere.  Yes, there are plenty of ideas but the focus here is on the entire album - not the individual pages.  Cynthia Hart shows the reader how to actually craft an album - from cover to cover (literally).  About 90 pages are devoted to instruction, 90 pages are devoted to designs and about 50 pages are of art and templates (which can be copied for personal use).  The scrapbook designs range from the usual wedding scrapbook to a rollerblade scrapbook.  There's even a horse show book made in the shape of a horse's head!  Supply lists, color photos and instruction are included with each design.  While I may never be as creative as Cynthia Hart, I'll view my scrapbooking from a new perspective thanks to her book!

This is a Dover picturial archive book, so almost the entire book is black/white designs.  Many are very flowery and detailed.  Many would make either good fabric or better wallpaper designs.  I bought the book for  ceramic tile designs and had to weed through for something that would work.  Most of the designs were too much for my purposes.  Still a very good  source of inspiration, as all Dover books are!

I like the design concept and the way my clothes are organized after I finally got it assembled. Some of the issues I came across during the design planning and assembly:

1) Make sure you have a closet design layout prior to purchase. On the Rubbermaid Configurations website they showed a 12 ft closet system that nobody sells. I couldn't use the design program on the Rubbermaid website and I needed to purchase two kits for my 11 foot closet. The best way I found to do this was to get both the 4-8ft Deluxe and 3-6ft Classic kits at the same time to achieve my desired configuration.

2)Allow for ample time to assemble a large closet system. Video simplicity is deceiving. Wall stud location will affect number of anchors required on your uprights. There weren't enough anchors even though I had two kits. If you need to use extra anchors, plan for their location ahead of time so it doesn't impact your configuration. I had to use different anchors and the flushness of the screws on the uprights will affect bracket location and installation.

3) Make sure you account for ceiling height in your layout. I only had a 7ft ceiling height and I forgot about the baseboard molding and had to notch it in order to add the lower extensions.

4)The A & B slots did not function as designed in all instances and can become frustrating. I had to redo the overlapping shelves and change positions a few times to get them stable.

I like this okay- the design fully covers the page so there's lots to color, they are one design per page which is good, too. My markers; gel pens and Stabilio do bleed through a bit. Colored pencils work nicely though. I would like more variety in the placement of the Scripture verse -but I'm coloring, praying and memorizing Scripture at the same time and that's what I was looking for. It helps to clear the clutter from my head. Hopefully, there will be anothe rbook in the future

While I really, really like the lay out of this book, sorting the page layouts by the number of photos, I have a difficult time seeing the pattern as a whole, since it is done in line drawings.  This isn't too much a knock on the book, I suppose, as to how I visualize things.
One of the problems I tend to have with any design book is fitting my photo sizes, once they are trimmed, to the photo sizes of layouts, so nothing fits together quite as well as the layout in the book.  I use this book for inspiration to get me started, but usually end up with something wildly different than what the book shows.  Depending on how you look at things, I guess this could be a great thing.

i like this book for the most part. there are a few errors here and there, and some of the page counts in the "flip book" section are off.

i really like the wide selection of toes and heels, and many of the patterns are fun. however, i wish the book gave instructions for different sizes of socks (e.g., 58, 64, 72, etc.) so that readers could see how the construction works on different counts AND so that people with larger or smaller legs and feet could knit the socks easily, without having to spend a lot of time figuring out how to size up or size down. but, this is a problem i have with a lot of sock books, not just this one.

The designs were not so easy to make, but it was fun for a while. The 4-sided patterns are easier to make than the realistic 6-sided patterns. I did like the smaller designs for window decoration.

This book has a variation of simple and bit more intricate designs, nothing too crazy though. I prefer coloring books that have a mix of complexity in the designs, so that I have more a variation to choose from, depending on my mood.

I gave this book only three stars because there were a few images which had some detail that was added in that looked a bit shoddy and seemed hand drawn in, and not in an attractive way.

The download link that was provided was for a couple of mandala style coloring books, but not for this specific book.

This is the first cross-stitching kit that I ever bought and I admit that the designs are very pretty and the materials are of good quality. After figuring out how to assemble the stockings, they look great.
However, there were a few problems that I had:
1) My needle broke half way through the project;
2) I got double the light green floss and half of the green floss and, of course, I already ran out of green, which is essential for Christmas themes. Maybe it is just my kit, but it is a great inconvenience;
3) The instructions for assembling the stockings are rather vague. I figured them out after some thought and, at the end, they didn't work well for me. I ended up stitching rather than gluing all the pieces together and, I think, the result is great. It takes extra work though;
4) Polyester fiberfill and cardboard (which you will need) are not included. However, there is extra white floss to make the cording loops (and instructions how to make them).
Overall, these are great designs (some better than others), but getting to the final result is very time consuming and requires some extra effort and skill.

This is a nice collection of patterns and prints. It comes with a cd that has an image editor and all of the artwork so that you can use and print out the artwork.  The problem I have is the way that the art work is cropped  - For many of the patterns and prints, the artwork isn't centered and the patterns runs off the edge and gets cut off - so some of the best parts of the artwork are cut off and unusable. Exapmle: the race car and cowboy patterns have half of a car or a horse cut off at the edge of the crop with too much white space in the center of the image. Would have been better to center the artwoirk.  The patterns are not shown at a full repeat of the pattern, which would have been possible beacuse the patterns do repeat but beacue of the way these are cropped, you can't easily extend the pattern or tile them so that the pattern repeats. Woudl be great to be able to do so to build a whole page of the pattern to use for scrapbooking, origami paper, etc.

The designs are great and will be flattering on most.  I have experience sewing garments, so this seems like a walk in the park for me.  I hope beginners are not thrown off by the sheer number of pieces on some of the designs - I don't really see anything that difficult in this book.  The tucks can get a bit repetitive, but other than that - it's pretty much straight seams.
The biggest drawbacks I see are that the designer chose to use the same model in ALL the photographs.  I would have dearly loved to see these designs on different body shapes, heights, weights, and AGES of models.  Also the designer made each garment up in linen.  Not everyone is comfortable wearing linen.  I would have loved to see the designs in other fabrics such as cottons or rayons or even knits!
ETA:  After printing out my favorite pattern, I was surprised to see the *supposed* 1 inch squares actually measure 3/4 of an inch!  The designer obviously used 2 sq cm blocks as her grid lines which do NOT translate well for folks in the USA.  You either have to redraft OR find a printer that will enlarge.  This is a royal pain in the patoot and definitely NOT worth the hassle.
