This is the buzz word in the scrapbooking world – embellishments.  No page of your favorite photos is complete without the embellishments that make them more interesting and meaningful – even more fun!  And there are thousands of these great scrapbooking supplies from which to choose – and no limits on your imagination.  Here are just a few:

Buttons – Use buttons to outline, make flower centers, construct wheels or just to decorate!  You can use the flat buttons that we are all familiar with or use raised-design buttons.  Crafter’s Toy Box, Inc., has a large supply of buttons from Blumenthal Lansing and Karen Foster Design.  One thing to remember – if you use buttons in your scrapbooking supplies that have protruding “shanks” (the place where you would insert the needle and thread to sew it on, not on a flat button), be sure and purchase a button shank remover.  This handy tool will snip the shank off where you can adhere the buttons to your pages.

Ribbon – This is a quick and easy way to decorate album pages.  Fold, tie, wrap or gather the ribbon – even make ribbon roses.  Ribbons comes in a variety of colors and textures and are a must in your scrapbooking supplies.

Tags – Decorate tags with themed paper, punched letters, journaling or die-cut shapes.  Hang them from your page designs for terrific results every time.  Again, there is no limit to what you can do with them, and they can be made from a variety of scrapbooking supplies.

Fibers – What is more fun than fibers?  You can wrap them around borders or drape across a page to create swags.  Use your scrapbooking glue to adhere them in a solid pattern for flowers and leaves.  Try adding extra creepy-crawlies with webs and fuzzy legs on those halloween pages.  Fill your pages with fiber and add unusual texture!

Eyelets and Brads – These are a versatile addition to any scrapbook page or cardmaking project.  Use them to attach components, make flowers and leaves, or emphasize the page theme.  They are a staple in the scrapbooking supplies arena.  Literally hundreds of shapes, colors, and designs are available.
