Embellishments

Grafik Rub-ons are available as borders or Woodcuts. They are available in colors that match the paper lines and kits. Sticker Fuzz is a line that offers flocked and textured stickers and photo corners in colors matching the paper lines. Descriptives are cardstock phrase and thought stickers that coordinate with the room collections. Another great product offered by Chatterbox is their wood tags and frames. These embellishments are hand painted to match the colors of the paper lines; they come in various sizes and shapes, and add a country touch to any page.

Memory Builder Page Kits are one of Chatterboxes most successful lines. The kits come with papers that are exclusive to the kits (they are not sold in open stock), but they match the room collections so it is a perfect way to get more papers in coordinating colors.
