I love to use gems, enamel dots or sequins on everything.  I have lots of buttons and 3x4 journal cards (Becky Higgins) that need to get used.

Curious what your answers are Joannie?? :)

Well, I love die cuts....ephemera, Cricut/Dies, and die cuts from my Kiwi Lane templates that I cut out.
I need to use those sticker books that I thought I had to have a few years ago.

I use gems, dots or stickles on many of my projects.  On the other hand, buttons..... I have lots of them but rarely use them.

I love using die cuts especially when making cards.  My stash has so many items from way back that I don't use often or not at all...chipboard and laser cut elements, buttons, flowers.

Re: Embellishments
My go to lately is stickers although not my favorite.  I love die cuts the most but they do take time to put together sometimes at least the more intricate ones.  I'm also big on enamel dots.  Need to use more washi tape also!

Re: Embellishments
My go to are flowers.  All my layouts and cards that I don't mail have some kind of flower cluster on them.

I have tons of lazer chipboard that I need to use.

Re: Embellishments
I use die cuts or die cut stickers a lot (hello Doodle Pops!) and also usually enamel dots or some form of them as in hearts/stars. What I have a huge collection of and haven't used in a long time is flowers. There was a time when I had to collect all the flowers. I have bins of them. But they don't make it onto my layouts. Funny thing is my digi layouts always have flowers on them. Go figure. Lol.

Re: Embellishments
I don't know. Probably not really a favorite. It's all about what works.

What do I need to use? All of it. :lol:

I have a goodly amount of enamel dots but don't use them much because I try to keep the lumpy-ness down. Not just about possible dents but because making pages thicker takes up more room in an album.  I don't mind eyelets, I try and mash them pretty flat, but I have a bunch of cheap ones that do not split well so they get rounded up on top and/or get all wonky when I try to make them fairly flat. (I do have some decent ones though.)

Re: Embellishments
My favorites are Nuvo Drops and ink. I love the look of the enamel dots but not the price. Then I accidentally discovered Nuvo drops! I can make them any size I want and I can match almost any color! I use them on 99.9% of my projects. 

I love ink because it makes things stand out and gives things a finished look in my mind. Especially like them on the outer edges of layouts because it tells you where things begin and end. 

Living where I do and having almost all boys in my family I don’t use flowers or ribbons much at all. Just can’t seem to think flowers belong on a masculine layout…
