Review:
I think this is a SUPER Handy book! It contains two sizes of each letter which can come in handy for an array of different projects, it has some great tutorials including uses for home and for parties. I think this is great for any artist because stencils especially are very handy. It has a very accents in it, but I really feel like it could of used more and maybe even numbers. Its all around a great book but left me wanting a few more things like a variety of fonts or even more accents.
