Using Vellum:
I love the look of vellum on scrapbook pages. You can use it to give your journeling a great look, you can use it to make pockets for your pages or place it over your pictures to give them a softer look.
My favorite technique with vellum is to cut a piece the same size as my picture and then cut a piece out of the middle. When you place the vellum over your picture you will now have one part of the picture highlighted and the rest kind of muted. It is a beautiful look when you want to showcase one part of your picture without a lot of cropping.
The trick to vellum is how to attach it. If you use glue it will show through the edges. You can attach vellum to your scrapbook pages using eyelets or brads very easily. If you want a cleaner look though, I suggest using vellum tape. It is kinda of like sticky dots. Cut a piece of vellum tape the same size as your vellum edge. Place the tape on the edge of the paper (it is sticky on both sides) and peel off the paper backing. Do this around all the edges you want to tape down. Place your piece of vellum on the page and rub down all the edges. At first you might see some of the tape but after it sets you will only see vellum! Happy Scrapbooking!
