August 14th, 2009 at 4:00 am
I’m going to class fabric as an embellishment because you can use it like PP, crunch it, fold it, pleat it, make flowers/bows from it, basically do all sorts of wonderful things with it – I can’t get enough of it on my LOs at the moment!!
August 14th, 2009 at 4:02 am

Oh, what an awesome giveaway…this is on my Christmas list!
My favorite embellishments always seem to be the little things gathered on trips, ephemera, trinkets, junk from gumball machines…all that stuff we just sort of collect along the way that takes me back to where we were when we got it. Now that Hunter is 5 we seem to collect MORE but I find it so interesting to include something authentic in the minibooks or on the pages that I create.
August 14th, 2009 at 4:24 am
My fav embellie right now is anything made with my Top Note die in my Cuttlebug. I use that thing over and over for journaling, framing, using bits and pieces in layering and embellishing the page. Love it!!
August 14th, 2009 at 4:26 am
Hmmm, favorite embellishment has to be buttons or pins right now!! :) Love to add those for a little special touch.
Can’t wait until tonight!!
