Question
Hi:
I've seen photos and esp. holiday pictures enhanced with a layer of what I think is some sort of fake gold leaf. I'd like to try this. Do you know what I'm talking about? Please explain the process if you're able.
Thank you!
Ian
Ian:
Is this perhaps a gold-leaf pen or is it textured? There are "foil" pens that apply "liquid" gold, silver or copper onto surfaces, some of which are safe for scrapbooking. I have seen this process. As for "fake gold leaf", if you mean a textured process, I have not seen that...
Thanks.

Scrapbooking and making Memory Albums. I can answer questions regarding proper products to use to preserve photographs. Additionally, I can provide information on layouts and the other processes to use to make memory books attractive. I have taken many classes in scrapbooking and am have done books for others. I am an active participant on several e-mail loops which discuss style, products and idea exchange. I have completed dozens of memory albums and am currently working on four new ones.
