All About Embellishments


   Time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Paper à la Mode and the theme is 'All About Embellishments.'  That's an easy theme; simply show us some embellishments: gems, ribbon, eyelets, pearls, lace, ribbon, twine, etc!  

I was inspired to create a bunch of embellishments using embellishments!  My plan is to use these in different journals and layouts.  Many of them are for my horse and riding journals.   Most of them were created using scraps, old clothing tags, torn jeans and leftover pieces.  I even reused some gems!

Wondering about my process?  Check out the video below to see how I put these pieces together! There is also a close up of each one (and a few I missed in this photo) at the end of the video!  If you are only interested in a particular piece, there is a Table of Contents in the Description Box of this video for your convenience!
