Rubber stamping and scrapbooking

Stamping can be a great way to add frugal embellishments to your scrapbook layout. Invest in a set of alphabet stamps and some general floral or geometric designs to create an endless amount of looks for your scrapbooking projects.

Unfortunately, the technique of scrapbooking and rubber stamping does require a bit of practice. Stamping directly on your layout can be a nerve wracking experience. For this reason, I still prefer to stamp on a separate piece of cardstock, then glue it to my sheet. Then, if I make a mistake, I haven’t destroyed the entire project.

However, if you would like to include stamping on a layout but aren’t sure of the proper placement, apply chalk to the stamp and stamp where you’d like your image to appear. If you like what you see, use your regular inkpads. If not, just erase the image and start over!
