Scrapbooking.com's Stamping in your Scrapbooks

Check out these great ideas for using stamps in your scrapbooks. Every week we will show you two layouts using the same stamps. The versatility of stamps is what makes them so fun. There are a few "rules" to go by if you want your images to last. First, always use pigment ink. If you really want the image to last it's longest, wet emboss the image (clear embossing powder works great). The best thing about stamps is how adaptable they can be by using different colors of pens, inks, or pencils to match the colors in a layout.
