Scrapbooking Stickers
When creating pages for your scrapbook, there is no more versatile embellishment
on the market than scrapbooking stickers. They literally come in every color,
shape, size and theme imaginable. From large borders that cover a page to tiny
ladybugs and every size in between, you will find stickers that work for any
scrapbook size.
Before the start of the scrapbook craze, scrapbooking stickers were few and
far between. You could find such staples as white or black letters and a few
major themes such as babies, weddings or schooldays. Even when I first started
scrapbooking about 10 years ago I had to search high and low for the stickers
I wanted.
Thankfully all of this has changed. Such manufacturers as Mrs. Grossman and
Frances Meyer recognized that there was something missing among the scrapbooking
materials on the market and they began to produce stickers for trips to
the zoo, farm, amusement park and pizza parlor. They brought us packages of
fun scrapbooking stickers such as hats, glasses, shoes and thought bubbles that
we could stick right on top of the photos. Jolee's Boutique took things one
step further and brought us 3D stickers.
Now we no longer have to wonder if we will ever find the sticker we need, we
have to wonder WHICH scrapbooking stickers we are going to use and how we are
going to use them! If you are searching for the perfect stickers, there are
a number of places that you can look. Of course your local scrapbook store and
craft store will have a variety of acid free stickers for scrapbooking. We have
found some of our more unique stickers by searching online. There are hundreds
of sites with scrapbooking materials and supplies and many have stickers that
we have never seen in stores. Some of the best deals we have gotten on stickers
have been on online auctions where we have bought stickers in lots or discontinued
stickers. This is actually the first place we look now when we are looking for
stickers to fit a certain theme such as pictures of kids splashing in rain puddles
or making mud pies. Yes, there are even mud pie pictures.
If, on the off chance, you can't find the perfect scrapbooking stickers there
is still hope for you. The Xyron 500 is a machine that allows you to make your
own acid free stickers. You can turn anything into a sticker from concert tickets
to your own art. Need a funny hat? Draw one and turn it into a sticker. It is
easy to use and is inexpensive at less than $50. You can even purchase a book
that gives you sticker ideas for the machine.
Whatever the occasion, there are scrapbooking stickers available to tie into
the theme. All you have to do is search by the theme online or visit a scrapbook
store. If you want even more options, you can make your own stickers. Either
way, you will find that there is no better embellishment to use to create your
scrapbook pages.
