I make copies of the pages so I can still use both sides. They actually copy pretty well on my 3:1 home printer. You could probably go down to your local copy center too.

Thank you for the flipthroughs! I saw a book at Megan Quinlan and fell in love. But it's like you said: not knowing a bit what is inside makes it difficult to choose. I just told my husband I want the 'Makes you go hmmm'book for my birthday. He watched a bit and doesn't understand why I should cut a beautiful collaged book to make a new collage. Ah, if only he knew 😊. Perhaps I can show him after my birthday. Greetings Marjan 🌷

@@DeniseLush Tomorrow my book will arrive. It is not my birthday yet, but I couldn't wait any longer (so did my husband, I was talking too much about the book 😂). Yes cutting it seems difficult allready...I could make a copy, but my printer is an oldie and doesn't print beautful ánd the paper is a different quality. Well I will see what happens, first I will start with looking. A lot! You have been brave enough to cut, whoohoo! Wishing you lots of fun working with this books! Marjan 🌷

Denise, I can't thank you enough for sharing your books with all of us. I've been collaging surreal art for about 1 year now and I love your work. I stumbled upon your channel tonight and I love your style; I'm a new subscriber and cannot wait to see more of your art. Gals look at my work and wonder how I pull it all together, but after watching you, I'm very intrigued as to what images you will pull to make another amazing piece of art. As far as images being on one side, that's a good excuse to grab a second book 🤣🤣 TFS these books! xo

@DeniseLush I don't think I could be bored with your work ........ I love it all. I broke down and ordered a couple books and cannot wait to get them. Of course 2 you do not have, so I'll be sure to do a show and tell on them when they come in. I ordered the flower power book and the landscape one ....... I think those I could work with quite nicely. Have a wonderful, very crafty, and blessed weekend. 🥰 ~ Barbie xo

@@DeniseLush Heh, heh, heh! You’re not alone….I’ve always liked things a little off-beat. I’m still learning collage and I find using a funky image or color (I like bright colors, too) makes it easier for me to let go of my penchant for perfection. The sky is the limit. With vintage, there is kind of a theme to follow, however, that being said, there’s no reason not to mix the two.

Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I don’t know how much they cost in your country, but in Belgium they are reaaaaally expensive. So when you don’t see the inside it holds back to buy. Although I don’t think I would buy them for now, because I wouldn’t know how to use them yet, the pages are so pretty to look at 😍

If you download these from her page directly you can print just what you want to use and the fee is far far less than buying the entire book.. and you can print just one side. I find it much better to buy and download them.. she also offers freebie pages.
