I can usually get my layouts going, but when it comes to the embellishing, I sometimes struggle with what and how much. Since the layout or project I make just doesn't seem finished without the embellishments, I spend the majority of my time on picking my embellishments. Case in point, here is a layout that I started (it was for the Janelle's Sketch This! site) but it just didn't feel complete like this:

Leslie Ashe
Alexis Hardy
And some of my favorite embellishments? I'd have to go with:
just to name a few. How bout you? Do you have a fav embellishment? Let me know what you love, I'm always looking for new ideas.
