Useful Tips for Embellishing your pages
- Stickers- As much as they are often talked down about, stickers were some of the first and remain one of the most popular embellishments
- Rub-ons. A throw back to the old graphic design pages, rub-ons are now designed specifically for scrapbookers. You can use rubon letters, designs, flowers, even rub-on faux graffiti.
- Fibers and Fabric. Near and dear to my heart, using fibers and fabrics are great ways to embellish your page without much bulk or without much money. Far Flung Craft sells some awesome fabric and fibers and the Gallery has lots of examples of how to use them.
