The podcast this week was on Scrapbook Embellishments. We hope we gave you a few good ideas on products and ideas. There are many wonderful ideas to be shared thru the web and also by friends. I (Cheri) have been a part of a Scrapbook Club for almost 15 years and it is so fun to get together with friends to share ideas and come up with new ideas. I highly recommend that you join a club, whether it is on the web or with a group of friends. The scrapbook club that I belong to has been very inspiring and fun for me.

Life keeps everybody busy, but there are so many opportunities for us to learn and grow. Joining scrapbooking clubs, or book clubs, or quilting clubs can give each of us the “out” that we may need. Just doing something we love and getting together with other people can result in a lot of satisfaction.
If you would like to know more about this club that I belong to, leave a comment in our “Questions” section on the right hand side.

I love this quote, “Life is not a destination, but the journey along the way”. I’m not sure who wrote this, but I love this quote and I definitely believe it is true. We need to “stop and smell the roses”, or else we won’t have taken advantage of all of the simple things of life. Life goes way to fast as it is, so hopefully we can all enjoy every minute of it.

Okay, enough of my philosophizing, and lets get back to scrapbooking. Where were we, oh yah, embellishments. As I said in the podcast, embellishments are my favorite part of scrapbooking a page. There are so many choices to choose from and the possibilities are endless. Like I talked about in the podcast, the zillions of possibilities you have with silk flowers alone! Just make sure that you purchase silk flowers that won’t run if they get wet. To test this, just take one flower off of the bunch that you have purchased and run it under water. If it runs, take the bunch back and ask a helper as the store if they can help you find a bunch that will not run. Also, you can buy silk flowers in the scrapbook store, but they tend to be more expensive. But sometimes it is better to have peace of mind in knowing that you have the perfect product.

There are a lot of great ideas on the web, just Google the word “embellishments” and have a lot of fun taking advantage of all of the ideas that others have shared. Have fun this week with your embellishments and try something new. Then, share it with us and we will post it here at Scrapbooktalkradio.com and maybe even on our podcast. Have a great day!
