The "A.B." in ABCreations stands for Anmarie Bowden, that's me! My favorite ice cream is Mississippi Mud from Baskin Robbins, altho I'm partial to Oreos crumbled on top of Vanilla Bean ice cream too! I was born on Super Bowl Sunday. I have been digiscraping since 2000. I live in beautiful sunny California. I am married to my soul mate and we have two gorgeous children. My favorite saying is, “If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart!”
Are you ready for February's Tuesday's Tip?! It's everyone's favorite... STICKERS!!! Stickers are a simple to use and are a fun way to decorate any scrapbook page. Sticker collecting has been popular for decades (I still have several of my sticker books from my childhood) and scrapbook enthusiasts have found a great way to put those stickers to use. Long sticker strips can be used to border or divide a page, while smaller stickers can be used to fill in or accent a decorative theme. If you are unsure if a sticker is photo-safe, check the labeling. Recently, manufactured stickers will be labeled; older stickers may not be. When in doubt, do not use them near you photos.
Sticker letters are great to use when you are still trying to master hand-lettering on scrapbook pages, or for their ease, or to coordinate with a certain theme. There is a wide array of stickers available in segments or packages, which include hobbies, talents, florals, pets, strips, page accents, or just about everything else you can imagine! I'm really into the 3-D stickers with dimension and lots of glitter!
Check out the way I have used the "Take A Hike" stickers by Simple Stories on my double page spread below featuring my son's first Boy Scout camp out. Leave a comment showing me how you have used stickers in your layouts, you know I love hearing from you!
