One the things that makes every scrapbook a unique memento is the personal touch that the scrapbooker brings to their work. The way you decorate each page with stickers, tags and other accents creates a personality for the scrapbook as a whole.

Your own embellishments add character to any scrapbook page. Embellishments can be used as the main focus of your page, to highlight items, or as borders. Embellishments can range from simple items such as stickers and ribbon to more complex techniques such as adding faux beads and silver accenting. Whatever style and materials you choose, use your imagination and creativity.

These embellishments need not be expensive. Odds and ends that you have from other craft projects work just fine. Be on the lookout for sales on fabric, plastic flowers, lace, beads, and whatever else takes your fancy. These items will no doubt come in handy on your next scrapbook.

Keep a sharp eye open for deals in second hand stores and garage sales. Often used items can be found for just a few pennies, ripped apart and the pieces reused.

Very quickly you’ll get used to keeping a stock of assorted materials that will come in handy for some future project. And as you incorporate different embellishments into your scrapbooking, you’ll start to develop a distinctive style that reflects your own artistic mood.

As you’re designing your scrapbook pages, you’ll think of many different ways to decorate your work. Often, you’ll want to label photos or add some kind of embellishment that fits in with your overall scrapbook theme. One of the easiest ways of doing this is with tags.

Tags bring a touch of professionalism and a well-designed look to your scrapbook. Tags can be used for accents, captions, and thought bubbles as well as dedications. The design of your tags will depend entirely on your personal needs and desires.

They can be big or small, square or specially shaped, white or colored, plain or textured.

Furthermore, tags need not be made of paper. Some of the most interesting tags are made from fabric, wood, and furniture odds and ends found around the house. Be creative.

Many scrapbookers like to use pre-made tags that they find at craft or office supply stores. If you’d like to look at a range available from a well-known online store, visit joann.com. They carry a wide range of tags, stickers and other embellishments, as well as tools and general supplies for all kinds of scrapbooking.
