Have you tried digital scrapbooking?  It had me hooked the first time I saw it at a SU convention a few years ago.  So much fun!  It takes a little practice but you can do so much with it.  You can manipulate the size, color, and shape of pretty much anything you do with your page.  You can round corners and make your pages look torn and add shadowing.  The list goes on and on.  There are a zillion (well maybe not that many) but a lot of embellishments available for your pleasure.  If you notice on this page I did, there is even washi tape.  I also used an overlay!  There are many classes, tutorials, and peeps out there that will help you if you struggle with getting started.  I am still learning all the ends and outs but can’t wait to do another page each time I’m done.  Just do it and you will amaze yourself!  Have a great day.
