Welcome Karlie!

Eyelets are really neat. Just remember that they are metal and could possibly rust, especially if you live in a humid environment. I don't use metal on my pages, but I'm hoping to use them on cards and stuff.

Someone makes plastic snap fasteners that I've used. They are great substitutes!

BTW, rusting is so bad here that some vinyl fencing they put in two years ago a few blocks away is dripping rust from many places. I never even knew that vinyl fencing had a metal understructure until then!
