To Embellishing!

 When you are crafting, what is it you reach for the least?  Rather silly question on the surface, but I was thinking about this for myself and realized I tend to forget about all the different embellishments I have in my stash.  Everything from pre-printed die cuts, enamel dots, Stickles, Nuvo Drops, Perfect Pearls both the liquid and the powder to wax seals, twine and 3D flowers.  You name it, it is probably in my craft room!

 Sometimes all it takes to make our cards really pop is a strategically placed enamel dot or 3.  Or how about that really cute chipboard ephemera piece that is the perfect size and shape for that blank spot? 

 I do tend to make extremely clean and simple cards.  I am not one for lots and lots of "stuff" but I think I tend to go to the other extreme where the card can be so clean it is almost bare.  So I think this will be my late New Years Crafting Resolution.  I am going to pull out the embellishments of all descriptions and make a definite effort to use them on my cards.

 If you already use your embellishments, then kudos to you!  If you are running low after the holiday season, keep your eyes peeled for a restock of things like the Nuvo Drops towards the end of the month.  Stickles has had a bit of a top up too.  There are always a myriad of choices for adding that final touch in stock at Crafty Capers.

 So, what is it you reach for least and do you think you might use it more this year?
