What's your favorite "go to" embellishment?
Either out of love or habit OR because you know you can "count" on it to "make" a card?

I agree with you on the ribbons and brads; and I still really love eyelets.

I'm streaky with eyelets. I LOVE to do them now that I have a cropadile, but it means digging it out of one of my totes (no designated stamp space). So once it's out I do go to town!

i used to be an eyelets girl but lately I've been loving brads. I've also started using ribbon a lot more lately.

Ribbon! Almost every card in my gallery has ribbon. It's a sickness.

Gosh, I don't know! I don't have just one "go to" embellishment. I love to use brads. I also use a lot of ribbon and recently became addicted to dew drops.

My first thing doesn't really count as an embellishment I don't think, but I almost always sponge the edges. Then quite often it doesn't need anything else at all! But I think snaps, eyelets, brads and ribbons come after that.

Buttons are actually my favorite, but don't always go with certain card themes (but are great for baby themes!)

I am a Ribbon and Prima Flower girl! I have to make a conscience effort to not use ribbon or flowers.

That's what I do first, too! After that I reach for the ribbons and buttons. Have any of you used the Build a Brad? I bought it but have only looked at it...ok...so I touched it too...but I've never used it yet.

Ribbon, Ribbon, Ribbon
I love ribbon. I also have to really try not to put it on a card. But when I don't I usually use a strip of paper (it's just a paper ribbon really ;) ). I love glitter almost as much but control myself on guy cards!

Me too, I love the sponge edging on a card, next comes brads, ribbon and eyelets.
