I finally had a chance to do some serious scrapping last night, reminding me of a common complaint. Nothing irritates a scrapbooker quicker than the site of fingerprints on a layout! While there are products you can buy to remove unwanted fingerprints and smudges from your photos, lint-free shoe shine cloths will work just as well. In a pinch, you can even try using a baby wipe!

To help reduce the amount of fingerprints on your photos, you might want to consider having them processed with a matte finish. Since I tend to be a messy scrapper and my son has started to enjoy playing with my glue sticks while I’m working, I anticipate most of my 2009 photos will be done in a matte finish. Textured acid-free cardstock is another great choice for printing images, since small imperfections on less visible on this surface.
