Scrapbooking with Market Street Stamps!

Hi everyone and happy Saturday! It's Brenda here with you today, and today we're going to make it a scrappy Saturday! Are you game?
I love to scrapbook. It's my first paper crafting love, in fact, but it has kind of taken a back burner a little bit lately in favor of faster projects. Like cards. Maybe you're in that same place.
I like using stamps on my layouts because they have so many endless possibilities. I was able to use 3 different stamp sets on my layout today. Can you find them?


I love my Market Street background stamps! I know, who doesn't, right? They're fabulous! But they can be used for SO much more than just backgrounds. On my snow page today I used the Vintage Notepad background stamp to create some fun little patterned banners to adorn the top right hand side of my page. Did you notice?



I could have left my banners plain, but I think the subtle stamping just makes it so much more interesting. And for such little effort.


I also used the snowflake stamp from the new Cool Cats stamp set to add some little snowflake elements scattered here and there around the page. Again, subtle, but interesting.

The third stamp set I used is the new Flurries background. (sigh) It's just SO pretty! And I love the way it looks embossed with white on a kraft background, which is what I did here with my number stencils. Again, I could have left my stencils plain, but look at the wow factor a bit of stamping adds to the finished product!

I hope I have inspired you to get out your stamps and use them in your scrapbooks. And, hey, if you don't have anything going on today, why not make a scrapbook page with your MSS stamps and share it in the neighborhood! You know we'd all love to see it!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope your weekend is super fantastic!!
