To really make layouts come alive, use silk/fake flowers. Use a wire cutter to cut the flower off the stem and glue to the page. You can even use the leaves on your layouts.

Take a friend and pick out flowers together. That way you can each get different flowers and split them between each other, saving even more money. Buying flowers made for scrapbooking is expensive.

If you're worried about acid, etc. There is a spray you can spray them with to remove and make them safe for scrapbooks. I personally am not worried about that.

You can use these flowers in many ways (around pictures, in shaker boxes, album covers, etc.).
