...your current most favourite scrapbook element? Some that you use on most every LO? Any that you cannot live without? Are there any that you never use? Tell me YOUR story...

My fetishes have changed, rotated, gone full circle, then back the other way over the years. Currently I love love paint splats, spatters, washes, smudges, watercolour "blobs" etc ...I find that I use them on most every LO and feel "unfulfilled" if I cannot find a place for them on a page:(. Previously I have loved torn edges, staples, buttons, brackets, stitching.......I still love all of those things and more but don't necessarily use them on every LO. I rarely use ornate or heavy frames.

I think my go to is layered paper and double matting my pictures.

I think it harks back to my paper scrapbooking days. I have always had a hard time finding emblishments that fit my pictures (NASCAR, Scouting, Flying, CAP and such) so I'd use a lot of layered cardstock to make my pages a little nicer.

Since I started digital scrapping I have come a long way in using more elmbishments. But I still find myself stacking my BG paper.
 
Wow, that's a hard one. I don't really have a go-to element that I can think of, although I like fitting on flair, fasteners and scatters when I can. Ones I don't use? Frames. I generally use templates and can't fit the frames onto the pre-sized pics.
 
We are so alike! I also totally feel "unfulfilled" if my page doesn't have a splatter or smudge on it somewhere. Hahah

I love clipping masks. When I am in a hurry, I love pre-made clusters or title clusters that move the layout along. It actually depends on the layout, really. I do love overlays that I can move and shift around, so very similar layouts can look very different. I do love blobs and splats.

I prefer hand-made elements over extracted elements, I think they look so much nicer on a scrapbook page. The light on the object falls differently when it is extracted, so it is hard to get it to blend well with a page.

I love stitching and fabric scraps oh - pretty much everything...
 
It sure does change. It depends on the 'mood' for my page. Love paint, masking. I also love clean lines. Not a fan of heavy ornate frames.

It pains me to not use patterned papers on my pages. When challenges call for only a solid paper, a little part of me dies inside.
 
Me too, I love paint splatters. Aside from the typical flowers and leaves and butterflies, I also realize that I love plaid papers :)
