Scrapbooking Terms - E and F

As mentioned in my previous post, over the next couple of months I will be sharing with you common scrapbooking terms. Today I’m sharing with you “E” and “F”.

E

Embellishment - Any scrapbooking extra (stickers, die-cuts, punches, etc.) that enhance the pages.

Emboss - To create a raised surface by applying heat or pressure.

Encapsulation - A method of displaying three-dimensional memorabilia and protecting nearby items from acid contained in the memorabilia. Items are encased in stable plastics.

F

Film Speed - Refers to film’s sensitivity to light. Lower-speed films are less sensitive (use these on a bright, sunny day). Higher-speed films are more sensitive (use these in low-light situations).

Fine and Chisel Pens - This pen has a fine tip (0.5 mm) and a chisel tip (6.0 mm). The fine tip is good for lettering and it’s extremely versatile.

Focal Point - The element of a design where lines converge. The eye is naturally drawn to the focal point in an image.

Can you add to this list? If so, leave a comment and I will add it to the list. Stay tuned for more terms in the coming weeks.

Happy Scrapbooking!
