They come in just about every colour so you have plenty of choice! To get a great shiny scrapbook, we highly recommend that you use both glitters and rhinestones!

Always apply glitter first. Applying glitter before any photos or other embellishments allows you to easily poor off any excess without it getting stuck.
Use your rhinestones in different ways. Rhinestones can be used to create beautiful photo borders, shapes or look just great dotted around your pages!

Adding appliques to your scrapbook isn’t a strenuous one, here is a video on how to do it!
Tips For Making An Applique Baby Girl Scrapbook
Go for Smaller Appliques. Large appliques will take the attention off your photos so stick to smaller ones which compliment your chosen theme!
Don’t limit your self to just appliques. As much as we love using appliques in our craft there is no need to limit your scrapbook to just applique combine them with glitter, stickers and other embellishments to get the most out of them!
Cant find appliques you like? Its easier than you might think to build up you own appliques from any fabric design you can buy using craft punches.
Pink-Themed Baby Girl Scrapbook
A pink-themed scrapbook is a great scrapbook option for a baby girl because pink is a globally accepted feminine colour. The first thing that comes to your mind when you see anything pink is a girly barbie vibe.
Alternatively, so that everyone can enjoy this scrapbook idea, you can go for any other colour that you think is feminine. Some other colours that signify femininity include red, royal blue, yellow, peach, and purple.
However, pink remains our number one colour pick. The trick here is to add different embellishments and designs that will enhance your scrapbook, however, all these designs and embellishments have to be in the colour pink. Some great examples of these designs include buttons, beads, sequins and 3d designs.
If you would be journaling stories behind each picture, then it has to be written with a pink or contrasting pen or marker. Also, if you will draw or do any form of painting, it has to be with a pink crayon or paint. All designs and stickers must also be in pink.
Another very good idea is to work with different shades of pink or contrasting colours, however, be careful that you don’t over do it and take the attention off of your photos. Here are some tips below to go about it with no stress.
Top Tips For The Pink Theme
How to work with different shades of pink. To not overcomplicate it, we recommend you pick three different types of pink. All you need to do is gather stickers, embellishments and other materials in any of the three chosen colours ready to be added to the scrapbook.
Use a light pink backing paper. One of our top tips for the scrapbook idea is to use a light pink backing paper with darker pink stickers and embellishments! This allows them to stand out beautifully.
Use contrasting colours. Using a contrasting colour will add a lot to an otherwise plain scrapbook we love pink and white designs because they fit perfect with the baby girl theme!
