VELLUM ADHESIVE
 What do you use to adhese vellum to the cardstock?  I've been using regular photo tabs and just hiding them with pictures or stickers but that is getting old.  Is there a good vellum adhesive that cannot be detected?
Thanks!

 That's a hard one, because even though those clear dots say they are clear, you can still see the outline of them on the vellum. 
What I usually do it just take a glue stick and "tap" it on the vellum and adhere, it's usually enough to hold the vellum on.
You can also try sewing, brads or eyelets!

I use 3M spray adhesive and it works well.

 I use Creative Memories frosted splits and they work ok. Otherwise I usually try to put something on the vellum that I can hide the adhesive behind. Like and embellishment or something and then the adhesive goes behind that.

 I use Zip Dry on clear things like acrylic.  I haven't tried it yet on vellum, but I think it would work well, because of what I've seen it do with other stuff.

 I use Creative Imaginations Scrappers' Spray.  I even use it on transparencies.  You can't see it at all, unless you spray too much - all it takes is a very light spray.  I tried using Xyron, but I didn't like the look at all because I could see it, especially with the darker vellums - it looks like it's solid adhesive but it really isn't.

 What ever you use, apply it to the vellum gently (just lay it down) and then apply it to the the other paper.   For some reason it shows less when you put it on the vellum first

 I think I've used a vellum tape by Scotch or maybe it was 3M.  Just checked Scotch is made by 3M.
