Make your pages tell better stories by creating all elements to support the story. Some stories, such as your puppy running through a freshly mowed lawn and getting green paw marks all over the white living room don’t have paper and borders to support them. Says author Slan, "You can scrapbook subjects most people don’t scrapbook because the stamps give you the ability to create the support elements needed."

This book shows how to create borders, corners, frames, lettering, backgrounds, embellishments, illustrations, journaling boxes and page toppers. It includes hundreds of new ideas illustrated by 37 new pages and 65 unique?

Also included are tips on stamping for those just getting started such as how to recover a page if the stamped image is smeared, incomplete or the wrong color. Many scrapbookers are hesitant to use rubber stamps because they think the supplies will be too expensive. In this book, Slan also includes frugal stamping tips and creates stamped images from common household items including a pencil eraser and a house slipper sole!
