It depends upon what I am putting on my page. I will use glue dots, pop dots, or for really oddly shaped things, I use api's Crafter's Pick - The Ultimate. It's water baed and dries clear. The best thing is that it adheres to plastic, metals, glass, fabrics (and more) as well as paper.

Hi Doll, I use Tacky Glue which is designed to be used on fabric and just about everything.
We used it when Sheilana decorated her horse's halter to add gems and 2 years later the jewels are still in tack and on a horse they go through a lot.

For those embellishment that don't have a peel off sticker on back, I usually just use the glue stick that I use for gluing in my pictures and journaling pages. I haven't had any problems with it not holding.

I usually use double sided tape or 3M has a wonderful glue stick that you can quickly move around if you change your mind. You have about a minute before it dries so if you don't like where you placed it you can move it! It's wonderful!

I use a lot of different items to keep my embellishments on. Depending on what they are I use sewing thread, double-sided sticky tape, glue pens, glue, brads (split pins) etc.
Hope this helps.

I do scrapbooking, cards, journals, altered books, and dimensional paper crafts... for most things, I use PVA glue, but to glue on the heavy stuff, its always E6000. Once you get past the smell, its really the best, and works on metal and plastic. Just make sure you let it dry/set up long enough before handling the project again!

I scrapbook once in a while when I feel better and I use Gorilla glue sometimes but mostly I use the two sided tape for my embelishments.

For a 3D effect, I use the foam dots, or for oddly shaped items (or extremely small), I use household silicone glue. You can use a toothpick or piercing tool to put the glue exactly where you need it.

For other smaller embellishments, if I them "flat-fixed" I put them through the Xyron and make them "stickers". It does well for almost anything and is great for ribbon!

For the larger embellishments or souvenir pieces, I usually use photo splints or photo tape. Sometimes I use a photo glue stick.

It all depends on the effect you want... Sometimes, even the glitter glue is great. Squeeze it on close to the edge, and when you stick it on your page (project), a fine border of "embossing" come out, and it sparkles! Have fun scrapping!

I absolutely swear by using double stick photo tape. If I want to put something dimensional on my page, I use the double stick foam pieces. They are awesome. I also use glue dots which stick wonderfully and I dont have to worry about waiting for something to dry.

I use photo tape for photos, but I'm cheap... I use double-sided carpet tape from the home center for everything else. Its about $6.95 for around 100 feet... a real deal!

Ladies, please be sure that the adhesive you are using is acid free. If it is not you will be very sorry in a few years when your photos have been disolved in the spots where the glue touches them.

For most items I use Tombow's Runner.
For fine lines I love the Quickie Glue Pen.
For buttons, metal, and other odd items I use Glue Dots.
For quilling I use Monomulti.
and last but not least for those really hard to adhere items or for sealing chipboard I use WeldBond.
