When I first started scrapbooking, things were much simpler. Choosing embellishments was pretty easy, because you had much less to choose from. Now, there are so many embellishments on the market that it can be very difficult to choose what to use on your layouts. Well, I have a very simple solution: limit your embellishments to 3 or 4 different types of items. For example, on this layout, I decided to use flowers, ribbon, and eyelets/brads. Not only did that save me time, but it also forced me to be more creative with what I was using. You do have to stick to your choices, though; because, if you second-guess yourself, that defeats the purpose of limiting your choices in the first place.
Give it a try. I think you'll be happy with the sense of freedom you will get when you make things so much easier on yourself. See you next week. Happy Crafting!

I'm definately more of a simple scrapbooker and don't put a lot of embellishments on my pages. It's just my style.
Great tips Jeanette!
