Double sided segmented tape is easy to use and was designed for mounting photos, but works well for die-cuts and other page accents.
Glue sticks are inexpensive to use and a good choice where children are involved in scrapbook page layouts. Glue sticks work best on photos and paper page accents.
Glue pens with a fine point are used for small areas where a glue stick or tapes are too wide for application.
A double-sided tape runner is similar to the segmented tape, but is a continuous piece that can be torn off at the desired length. This is my personal choice for pictures and papers because it's repositionable for a short time in case I need to move my picture a bit, and it isn't wet so there is never any paper curling or dry time.
Self-adhesive foam dots are another choice if you want your designs to have dimension and stand out from the paper. One of the drawbacks to dimensional design is that the raised surfaces can leave impressions on other pages.
The adhesive that you choose to use will depend on the materials and layout for your pages and designs as well as your personal preference.
