Embellishments are to a scrapbook pages as accessories are to your outfit. You can wear a plain dress or you can make it unique with the perfect belt, bag and shoes. Similarly, a two dimensional scrapbook page comes to life with beads, flowers, brads, eyelets, ribbons, vellum, stickers and more.

Eyelets and Brads

Some of the hottest products in embellishment are eyelets and brads- both fasteners that add a twist to the old-age glue and photo corners. Eyelets have a whole in the middle where you can add ribbons or strings to add a hanging effect or a little extra color. Brads on the other hand are solid and come in several different sizes and colors that add an extra dimension to pictures

From stacks of quotable quotes by famous and anonymous people to simple lettering where you can make a headline more eye-catching, embellishing has graduated to the next level.

Other embellishments

Just remember to keep your photos and journaling as your focal point, too many embellishments can take away from those precious memories,
