Don’t miss out on a wonderful product that provides a fascinating array of stamping options: Pearl Excellence. This fine, iridescent, powdered pigment is easy to use and produces beautiful effects.
It is a great product to use by mixing liquid or adhesive with it. A common mix is Pearl Ex, Lumiere, and water. Stamp your images in a waterproof ink. As you mix them all together using a small amount of each, be sure to add enough water to create a liquid paint. Include this product in your scrapbooking tools!

It’s everywhere! There’s really no repellent strong enough to save us from it. Even our family and friends aren’t immune to it. And doctors haven’t found a cure.
Symptoms include an itching to get home, pull out our scrapbook supplies, plug in our scrapbooking machines, and start creating! Once the creativity bug bites, there’s really not much that we can do.

Finding Thrills Later in Life

posted by GotScraps

Ever since retiring three years ago, I’ve been pursuing a number of exotic hobbies. As a former day trader on Wall Street, it seems that I called it quits at precisely the right time. Still, I miss the sense of exhilaration that came along with making a monster trade. Watching the ticker with intense interest and tallying up my vast earnings was a thrilling experience to say the least.

These days, I get my kicks in other ways. Last summer, my wife and I traveled down to Africa to hunt wild game on an exclusive preserve. The year before that we traveled throughout Central America and this year we’ll be heading to Eastern Europe. Going on these trips is obviously an amazing way to experience other cultures and witness breathtaking manmade and natural spectacles. I’ve enjoyed chronicling our journeys through photography and scrapbooking kits I pick up online.
