Page Maps 2 Anyone?

Anyone buy this or planning to? I don't think of myself as a sketch girl, but I feel like my layouts are getting into a bit of a rut so I bought her second book to help give me new ideas!

I didn't realize that like 40% of the pages are by Becky Fleck. I guess I expected more layouts by other people. Not sure why it surprised me so much but it did.

I don't use page maps 1 enough. :/ Maybe one day...Sketches stress me out.

i actually bought pm1 and my dd just found it and LOVES it
every time i say idk what to do, she throws the book at me!

I was thinking about getting it, have a coupon...

okay, not to be a butthead, but aren't most of the sketches on her blog?
being devil's advocate here, but why would I buy the book if I can get sketches on her blog.
not being snarky -- being honestly curious.

Maybe I am wrong, because I have not seen the book yet, but are they not all new sketches, not ones on her blog?

I honestly have no idea either way but for one thing I like magazines and books sometimes better than looking online... and they come with these cool cards of the sketches and 1 layout per sketch that you put on a binder ring and can take them to crops

But I agree its much cheaper to just save ones you like from her site and take them with you

I have both books. Neither of the books have sketches that have appeared on the blog. That also is true of the calendar that came out for 2011.

She puts sketches you can't get on her website in her books.

I have the first book and, like others, I don't use it enough to justify buying the 2nd one. Although I do like it. Just never remember I have it.

There are allot of Becky's layouts in Becky's book. Marla Kress, Denine Zielinski, Dawn Inskip and Shawna Martinez are there too. All favorite scrappers of mine

I gave it to Colleen as part of her Christmas. I thought it would be good for a newbie scrapper and I enjoyed peeking at it as well. Hobby Lobby with a coupon makes it reasonable purchase IMHO.

A lot of the team's samples are great!

I got it because while I'm not really a sketch girl, I found a lot of inspiration in the first book. I haven't had a chance to really look through the second one yet, but at first glance I liked what I saw!
