Jennifer says, "My favorite technique is to incorporate stamps in my layouts. Whether it’s using a stamp to create a background paper, like the cloud I used on the red cardstock, or to heat emboss a stamp to enhance my journaling like the 'welcome home' image stamped and embossed on my brown journaling strip, I just love the way stamps add an extra something to my projects!"

I love pages with no photos (because you don't always have a suitable picture of the event), and 'faux' stitching because i don't have a sewing machine

Rolled Flowers(which i learned from Lizzy's video tutorial) is my favorite technique. YOu can use paper, ribbon, fabric paper, etc.

Here is a link to my altered tote using the fabric paper and ribbon to make the rolled flowers: http://moleskineadventures.blogspot.com/2010/08/upate-altered-tote.html
