Designer Scrapbooks the Red Hat Society Way: A Guide to Chronicling Ridiculous Funx$1.95
  (3 reviews)
Best Price: $24.95 $1.95
Sue Ellen Cooper, bestselling author of The Red Hat Society: Fun and Friendship After Fifty and one of the founders of this bourgeoning group--which increases by 100 chapters a day--provides the foreword, and the animated character Ruby Red Hat hosts the proceedings in high style and high spirits.
There's no doubt that the "Red Hats" are an amazing phenomenon. Not only did the book written by its founders stay on the New York Times' Bestseller List for weeks, but more and more women over 50 just keep catching the wave and joining the movement. And what could be better for the now nearly one million members who celebrate fun and friendship than scrapbooking? They'll all rush to those shoeboxes filled with photos and come to this brightly illustrated volume to see how to do it in the inimitable, adventurous Red Hat way. Fifteen sections, organized by particular "Red-Hat-isms"-such as Dress for Excess and Exercise Your Funny Bone-are introduced by Ruby Red Hat, who's always garbed in the appropriate manner for each particular theme. The nearly 80 projects include both flat album-type pages as well as spectacular dimensional ideas for gift boxes, invitations, and other designs. Readers will also appreciate 9 pages of patterns-not to mention the wit and wisdom they'll find along with the techniques.
A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

Mostly photos of scrapbook pages
By A16RHKQUIWCVK2 on 2006-01-23
I purchased this book because on the Red Hat Society site it said it had nearly 100 projects in it. In actual count there are 26 actual craft projects, plus 72 photos of finished scrapbook pages. Lots of cute ideas but don't think you're getting nearly 100 different "projects".
Book pages are about 9" square and the photos of the scrapbook pages are about 7" square. Excellent, clear photography showing all the design ideas. Each scrapbook page has a little box with a description of the page contents or techniques. The scrapbook pages are almost all very gaudy with expensive embellishments, I would guess to be prepared to spend up to $10 per page if you copy them.
The projects include a Bra Purse made from a large red bra (I gotta do this one!), table accessories, Christmas ornaments, invitations, bags, tags, books, boxes, a Royal Sceptre, and more.
There are lots of tips and techniques sprinkled throughout, humorously presented.
A good price here on amazon, I paid $20 for it at the Red Hat Society site.
Scrappin' with Hattitude!

There are so many fun ways to create pages for Red Hatters!!! I also had to purchase a copy of this book, not for just the great ideas of scrapbooking but because I'm featured in a couple of the photos. If you're a Red Hatter this is one book to have!
Good collection

I have no idea what the Red Hat Society really is, but lots of the layouts shown were great. Very attractive book. I picked it up for ideas and got plenty!
