"Hi. Welcome back to Expert Village, and I'm here with Sonya Shepherd from The Crop Circle. She has taught us all about embellishing our scrapbooks. So we're going to recap a little bit, Sonya, on what are the different elements that you can use to embellish your scrapbook. Sure. Well, we started out with the brad. Those are a really fun and functional way to embellish your scrapbook. We've got the clear acrylic stamps here, highlighted with the Glitter Mist, which is super fun. We have buttons, rub-ons, stickers, tags, distressing, felt, ribbon, more buttons chip board that's been sanded and distressed, as well as the mulberry paper that we've torn. Really, Grace, there are so many different ways to make your layout come alive, to really personalize it and to have a lot of fun with it. So, don't be afraid to try something new. Just remember to always use things that enhance the beauty of your own photos. And that tell a story. Absolutely. And tell your story. I'm thinking these are great for gifts. They really are, because every scrapbooker loves the newest embellishments. They always are going through them, so it's a fun even restocking gift. Definitely, and you can also create a page for a friend or a family member, just as a gift. I would do it. Everything that you love. Yeah, it's very thoughtful. All sorts of things. Great.
