I don't have picutes, but I can describe how I have decorated two:

1. I used the red linen album to create a scrapbook of a recent trip to Disney. I purchased the self-adhesive embroidered looking "Disney" signature and stuck to the front of the album along with a few of the Mickey heads that were on teh same sheet. I did not use any additional adhesive. I then wrapped a piece of black and white dotted ribbon around the edge of the album (closest to the spine part)


2. My other album was a fish themed baby book. For that one, I wrapped several different colors of blue and mossy green ribbon around the cover and attached fish that had been stamped on whisper white, colored and cut out. These were attached with glue dots.

I can probably take a picture of the Disney album and send it to you if you want, but the baby album was a gift and for whatever reason I didn't take any pictures of the cover or any of the pages.

I also don't have pictures, but I did one and stamped it with pigment ink....no embossing....just let it dry. It was a lavender colored linen album that I picked up at my local scrapbooking store. Another one I did for a 25th anniversary and I just used silver alphabet stickers and white/silver tulle to decorate the front. HTH
