On an episode of DIY Scrapbooking this week, I thought one particular segment was interesting -- Putting Embellishments ON your photos.
The example shown was of a bride with her bouquet:
To create this technique, simply place double-sided, strong adhesive tape over the area where the embellishment will be -- in this case, the bouquet. Then place the embellishment on the tape and voila!
Personally, I probably wouldn't do this much with photos unless an element of the photo was also something I'd be putting on my page. For example, I saved ribbon that had been on my wedding cake -- I'd possibly add that to the photo.
