I have made some discoveries recently in the scrapbook world. One of which is stamping. Yesterday I purchased my first stamp pad. I have been scrapbooking for four years and I have tried stamping. At first I had no interest in doing so, but lately as I look at other layouts I have decided I want to at least try it once. When I started looking at stamp pads I discovered some interesting things about stamping. I was amazed to find out that there are distressed ink pads. Next I browsed stamp...

In my bio I said that scrapbooking is not just preserving memories, but it is also therapy for me. When I am stressed I love to pull out my scrapbook and start creating. Since I mostly scrapbooking about my son, I relax. I like putting togethe layouts and being creative. My mind thinks about the task at hand rather than what or who may be stressing me. After I am finished with the layout, I am smiling and no longer tensed up.
