Aside from paper.... What would I find on most of your pages/cards/projects? I love ribbon and glitter. I usually use crystal glitter glue, just a light touch. But I love the effect. What is your go-to item? Maybe I will branch out from my obsession with papercrafting tools....it's a bad addiction....  |

Most of my pages have stickers on them: depend on alpha's for my titles, and sometimes use them for bits of my journaling. Thanks to kiwigirl 's inspiration and challenges, I have been using a lot of Nuvo drops lately. I have branched out to handwriting titles with them. And I have been using a lot more brads lately, and wood veneer: again thanks to challenges, but I really like the look of both of them. I have a carefully hoarded (um, curated) collection of burlap, and I tend to use more of that in the fall, so it has been seeing the fronts of pages lately. |

Something sparkly, be it sequins, glittery enamel dots or those jewels from PPP. I am an unapologetic girly scrapper!

not a whole lot, lol...I've been known to make cardstock ONLY pages fairly often and I don't tend to use a ton of embellishments in general

I usually add a line around the edges of my layouts with a small heart at the bottom. It's just a "finishing touch" to add a little personalization to my pages.  |

a heart shape. The material would vary but 8 out of 10 pages probably have a heart on them.

wood or metal. I have so many wood veneers now they go on most pages. I also love keys and gears and most of the flat metal pieces Tim Holtz produces.

These are some cute ideas!

Colored cardstock. I know you said not paper, but that is the thing I use on nearly every layout. Other than that, it really varies depending on the subject.

The date! It seems stupid, I know. I used to not put my layouts in chronological order. When I reorganized to chronological, I realized I didn’t know when a lot of the pictures were taken. I was able to track down many of the dates thanks to my husband putting a lot of my daughter’s early photos on her website. Now, I put the date in the lower right corner almost every time. Every once in a while, if a card or label has a spot for the date, I’ll put it there instead.
I also sign and date the back of all my layouts. I’ve done that for years and it helped in putting some of those above mentioned mystery layouts in the right spot.
As for embellishments, you’ll find a lot of labels, layers, and enamel dots. Lately the enamel dots have been done with Nuvo Drops instead.

hmm, i can't think of anything specific i always use or always do...once upon a time i had a teeny 3-hearts stamp and i would stamp that on every page. i often add a little heart at the end of my journaling now, but that's the only thing i can think of.

Enamel dots are another go-to, as well as a title. |

I would say a photo, patterned paper and almost every page in the past few years sewing/stitching

My go to embellishments are enamel dots, border punches, and hand stitching. But I don't know if I have anything that is on every page.

Probably stickers..Mostly letters/numbers. Not sticker sneeze...
Now I am using up more PL cards by making them into little embellishments.
I need to know what Nuvo is.. I know I bought a bottle the other day because I just keep hearing the term.. but I don't know how to use it.. lol Just making dots with it??

Enamel dots for sure. Those things seem to multiply by themselves...not really, lol but that would be kinda awesome if they really did.  I have so many of them that I've been trying to use them a lot. |

Journaling, usually in strips, and often lately gold colour shine. MDscrapaholic I love the little heart in the doodled border - such a cute finishing touch! |

My work whether it be scrapbook pages, cards, art journal pages, etc., always have machine sewing and paint splatters. I feel like they are my finishing touch; my signature. |
