I have taken an interest in the method of sewing called "felting". I am wondering if any of you have used a felting machine and can give me some ideas on creative ways to use it in my scrapbooking projects. Any Ideas?

KarenLO Thanks for your response. I took a class on stamping and I wanted to use the embossing technique on my pages but I wouldn't know if the paint and embossing powder would ruin the pictures that I am using. I am using copies of my pictures which I print out...so...
