Welcome to a brand new blog category - my customer questions. I realized yesterday that many of you ask very similar questions and that perhaps I should post my answers for all of you to see (in case you were too shy to ask!).
Candace asks: I started scrapbooking with just photos and cardstock, but I'm easing into new types of embellishments for my pages. I love brads and I love ribbon. I usually run ribbon over the ends of the pages and secure it with a brad at each end and have at least one photo/embellishment over top of the middle. Any other suggestions? What adhesive works best for ribbon? Also, I'd like to start adding buttons; any suggestions on the best ways to use & secure them? Thanks!
Answer: I love ribbon on a scrapbook page too and often use it as an embellishment when all else fails. Ribbon can be attached in a variety of ways; use short pulls on your Snail adhesive, use Mini Glue Dots placed evenly along your ribbon strip, even Sticky Strip works well.
When adding buttons you can literally sew the button to the page using the needles found in the Crafter's Tool Kit along with natural hemp, or pull out those handy Mini Glue Dots and add one behind each button for a quick and easy fail-proof adhesive. If you want a bigger lift off the scrapbook page, try a Stampin' Dimensional.
