Okay remember we talked about the next hot technique or style?

[#1]

Well once bling leaves scrapbooking or least dies down a little, what will be next?? (I have my own idea I want to see yours) BTW I hope bling stays for awhile I like it!!! antq.freak

[#2]

amtq. - LMAO!

[#3]

Queenie, you are afraid to try stamping? Move over. lol I have not done that either and I have a drawer full of stamps. lol

[#4]

I'm more afraid of my handwriting then stamps!!!! Come on girls take a walk on the wild side and stamp something.Okay Arleen and Queenie your mission is to stamp something and post it on the board.

[#5]

Ok - I am in process of an pb book - I WILL stamp in it! :)

[#6]

Let me do some looking here at the stamps I have and what I want to stamp. I am not kidding, I have a whole drawer full of stamps but never used them. Some are still int he packages.

[#7]

I'm with you Arleene - I have a whole rubbermaid container full and haven't used them in YEARS!! I used them when it was "neat" to make party invitations for your kid's.

This is gonna sound dumb - but do they dry rot?

[#8]

I don't know but am going to get mine out today. Some are rubber and some are plastic or those new clear ones.

[#9]

I can't say for certainty that all rubber stamps would suffer from dry rot, because maybe someone knows how to preserve them? But I do have an old old rubber stamp that is disintegrating in the parts of the design that are very thin lines. It's probably at least 20 years old.

[#10]

I love doodling, but I'm such a perfectionist that I drive myself crazy with it.

[#11]

Okay all you stampaphobics here is your 4 step program. 1. choose a stamp 2. choose a ink pad 3. put stamp in ink. 4. Now put stamp to paper Voila!!! Now start a new thread with your works of art and show everyone what a little therapy can do. Okay gotta go work on my ugly paper challenge man I wish Feb. was a loner month.

[#12]

Feb a loner month? Don't you like us Alicia? (grinning)

I think you meant longer didn't you? or perhaps you did mean loner? Who am I to say? lol

[#13]

I stamped! I will show later - but warning... VERY addictive. I started to want to stamp everything with just "one more flourish" but stopped myself (I hope) from overdoing it.

[#14]

oops!!! yes it should be longer just shows the stress I am under LOL!!!

[#15]

stress what stress? lol

[#16]

Ok - here are some pics of stamped mats I used in a pb book. They are my first, so... if they are totally funky... please break it to me gently



This one is a better close up of a different mat:

Queenie! That is gorgeous!

[#18]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this thread. I read through everyone's ideas for what will be the next new thing in scrapbooking and did not hear anything new. Everything stated has been used already. I have no idea what will be the next new thing. I guess we will have to wait and see. However, I do not see any of the stated ideas going out any time soon.

Have fun girls!

[#19]

Queen, yes, they're hideous...you dork!

Beatiful as always!

[#20]

oops, BEAUTIFUL

[#21]

Wow Queen - I love it!!

Guess I'm gonna have to pull out my stamps now!
