Scrapbook My Life

I love using acrylic paint in my scrapbook layouts! It’s a cheap, fun, and easy way to embellish your projects. You can paint your own background paper, alter the colors of purchased stickers and die cuts, or make a title with your favorite foam alphabet stamps.

Acrylic paint can be purchased from scrapbook supply stores, but you don’t need to spend extra money for paint labeled as being specifically for scrapbooking. The same acrylic paint you use for painting designs on canvas or decorating wooden furniture will work just fine for your scrapbook layouts. If you like to custom mix colors of acrylic paint, however, be sure to cover your paint tray with Saran Wrap when you’re finished. Then, if you need to do any touch up work after your paint dries, you won’t need to worry about remixing the color.
