Scrapbooking Embellishments
What Are Some Different Scrapbooking Embellishments Ideas?
The best way to turn a plain scrapbook into a truly appealing album is to add embellishments.
By using embellishments, you help the pages of your album to stand out and look as lively and fun as the pictures they contain.
A word of caution, though, is that when it comes to scrapbooking embellishments a little goes a long way.
Too many can make a page seem cluttered and un-organized so keep focus on what’s really important in your scrapbook, the preservation of the memories!
With that being said, embellishments can be lots of fun and the market is always introducing more and better scrapbook page ideas to add greater excitement to your pages.
Embellishments can’t get any easier than stickers.
You can use them to dress up any page and there are so many variations and themes to choose from that you could spend all day in a scrapbooking store.
Since they are so easy to apply, try to keep yourself from using too many!
You can also use eyelets as scrapbooking embellishments, little pieces of colored metal that are circular with a hole in the center.
Though small in size, they can add great character to your page and they come in many different colors.
Colored buttons also look very cute on an album page and go a long way to adding variety and fun.
You can also use fibers to “hang” your photographs or tie them to journaling tags or just to simply add depth to the page.
An alternative to fiber is ribbon, it’s a great way to add a little bit of a feminine touch to any page in your scrapbook.
Die cuts will allow you to bring excitement and flair to your pages. These are colorful shapes and objects cut out from cardstock, and they are a great way to accent your pages.
Whether your scrapbook is going to be whimsical or Victorian, you are sure to be able to find some scrapbooking embellishments to help you bring your pages, and your album, to bright and vivid life.
Before you jump into the world of embellishments with both feet, however, it’s a good idea to decide on what the theme of your scrapbook will be before you visit a local craft store.
