Don't Be Afraid To Stamp A Scrapbook!

Good morning VLVS friends!

Pinky here today with a fun stamped project....a LAYOUT!

The number one thing I hear from my friends about stamping is 

"Oh I don't make cards so I don't stamp" but I am here to tell you that

it is amazing to stamp on a layout!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to create my own images/die cuts 

and really personalize my scrapbook pages! 

Here I simply used this amazing (and new) "Be Adorable" stamp- I stamped it

in bright cherry red ink onto a textures cardstock, and created my own pennant. 

This is just one of 1000 ways to create you own stamped images for a layout. 

 It really adds something to the layout that I would have a hard time creating

with just an alphabet sticker set or journaling. 

I encourage you to go give it a try today!

Come one all you scrapbookers! Let's play with stamps and get our fingers messy!

Happy Monday my friends, until next time!
