One of the most popular embellishments that is used in scrapbooks is floral shapes, especially in 3-D, you know, the ones that appears to "pop up" off the page. There are many places you can get these pre-cut at your neighborhood scrapbook store or art store. Or, you can use a die cut machine with a floral template attached to it. There is no limit to the size and color you can apply to the shapes.

Often, floral scrapbooks are made for females so this flower shape will be perfect for them! It is fun to make repeated floral shapes. There are so many ways to display them. They could be piled on top of each other and make a very raised effect. You could make one flat floral layer and fill the page to make a textured page. You could also overlap the flowers to make a virtual "flower bed!"

So when making a floral scrapbook page, go wild and make up as many different patterns as you can!
