My Favorite Adhesives

A good adhesive is a necessity when scrapbooking a layout. If you want it to stick, you can't skimp out on how much adhesive you use. My two favorite adhesives are a simple glue stick and mounting squares.
Glue sticks are great for gluing together mats to make double mats and gluing mounted photos onto a page. They're easy to use and the glue dries quickly.
Mounting squares are ideal for adhering photos to mats or strait on a page. I don't really use them for anything else. Mounting squares are square, obviously, so you can stick them to the very edge of a photo to ensure that the corners don't fold when sliding a page into page protectors. Very nice.
In addition to these, I also occasionally use glue dots when scrapbooking. I use them for non-paper embellishments such as the layered flower in my previous post.
My supply collection doesn't include any other types of adhesives. These three are your basics and really all that you'll need for scrapbooking. Have a great night!


Tchau!
