Laura Lou: When I am completely finished with a page I will go over it with a "Pick-Up Square" to be sure no bits of adhesive show.
Laura Lou: When I cut a shape, whether it is with scissors, knife, or any of the shape cutters, I always go over the edges with an emery board. That smoothes burrs and points, making the cut surface look better. Then I touch up the edges with a brush marker in the color of the background I intend to use so the white paper doesn't show.
Laura Lou: I keep the word "finish" in mind. Often when I THINK a page is finished I will go back to it and chalk the edges of shapes, mattes and torn edges. I also like to add stitch marks, and other details with black and white pens.

Dawn: I don't like too much white in the background and I love layers.
Dawn: I will go through just about everything I have to find the PERFECT sticker or die cut or embellishment for my page.
Dawn: I LOVE adding poetry to my pages. I did my parents wedding album and I added the words to their song and some of their favorite Glenn Miller songs. I also found some wonderful poetry to add to it. I also added their special life Bible verses and some others that were quite meaningful. The album came out very beautiful.
Charlene: I only buy supplies for the pages I am doing.
Charlene: I keep a page in progress laid out so I can think about it during my day.
