I love making my own enbellishments with scraps and layering patterned papers.
Decorating tags in a variety of ways and using them to journal the story. Layering paper, inking, sanding and adding embelishments.
Don’t really know what my favorite technique is. Would love to win a copy of this book to learn more!
My favorite technique lately is making my own flowers. I love learning how to use your supplies to make your own embellishments!
My favorite lately is using a lace-edge punch and stamping. Would love to get ideas from this new issue!
My favorite technique is to use border punches and I also love using different patterned papers.
I like to follow sketches and use my rubber stamps.
Love inking and really am loving using different border punches right now. Of course it changes frequently
I love paper flowers with button centers and ribbon stems:)
My favourite technique right now in my scrapbooking is outlining my photos or page edges with black or white gel pen, so it is similar to faux stitching.
My current fave is to use lots of different punches – in various sizes and create a collage down a border with them, like varios sizes of circle punches in varied patterned paper.
I like to customize chipboard by painting, inking, heat embossing or using dimensional adhesive for a shiny look.
My favorite technique has gotta be inking! Simple, but essential to me!
I LOVE distressing! I’m still a sucker for the shabby chic look on my pages
My favorite technique it would be stamping.
I admire J.Mcguire for all her ispirational work.
I would love to win this special book.
Thanks for the chance. Cross my fingers!!

My favorite techniques are embossing and paper piecing!!!
I love the stamping. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love dry embossing on layouts. It add a little bit of texture/dimension without being too bulky.
Right now I love inking the edges of my projects and embossing with my cuttlebug then spraying with perfect pearls.
I love to make my own embellishments, esp. paper flowers ala Prima. I crumple, stamp, ink, chalk, and distress varieties of cardstock and printed papers to make my “creations”. Jennifer has been an inspiration to me on several occasions.
Wow, I would love to add this book to my collection… anything I can do with my beloved ribbons!
I’d have to say my favorite is inking. A page just doesn’t look finished without it. My second favorite is die cuts…and those have to either be inked or chalked on the edges!
Thanks for the chance to WIN!!!
It’s a pretty simple technique but one I use on almost every layout—inking the edges of my paper and often my photos, too. Just really adds soemthing for me!
My favorite scrapbooking technique is stamping and inking the edges of my embellishments. It’s such an easy way to tie in colors and it really adds a special touch. Thanks for the chance to win! I was just looking at your current issue today in the store. Such great ideas:)
My favorite technique is using up my scraps and using diecuts, border punches, and squeeze punches to make embellishments for my pages and I am really liking flowers now!!
Right now I am really into using paint on my scrapbook pages! There are so many different ways to include it. But my favorite love is all the different patterned paper
