I'm also seriously thinking of starting an acrylic stamp collection. Acrylic stamps defer from rubber stamps because you can see where you're putting them. This is because acrylic stamps have a clear mount, where you stick the clear stamp, put on some ink and voila! After you finish using them, just clean the stamp and put it away. It seems so easy to manage because you can just put them in a folder. I'm guessing it will also save storage space.
Apparently, the clear acrylic mount can be used with unmounted rubber stamps, but it's such a hassle to buy and prepare the cushion and vinyl cling. Guess I'll just stick with the acrylic stamps if I ever decide to start my collection.
With my recent surge of interest for arts and crafts, I thought I'll finally get started on doing some scrapbooking. I bought all (if not most) of the material I needed to get started back in year 12, but I never felt motivated enough to do it. I had so many ideas but I didn't know where to start. After much contemplation, I now know where to begin. From primary school.
I was hesitant to start with primary school because I only have one photo from that period of time. A photo at camp with Karen. However, while I was cleaning my room, I found some beads, a t-shirt and other random items that serve as a reminder of some special moments in primary school. I can't wait to get started. Just gotta go to Big W to print off some pictures.
Anywho, apart from my scrapbook project, I'm also in the initiation phase of another project. I've just bought most of the items I need on eBay and can't wait to get started. This one, however, is a secret until it's completed. I will definitely post pictures as the projects progresses.
* For anyone interested, the store was in the Flinder's Station subway. Karen wouldn't go with me cause she says it's a place where people get raped :(
Hahahaha, I haven't been to that Flinders Street station subway, but they have a lot of those in Asia and it's like a miniature market in there!
ReplyDeleteThere's not that many stores at Flinders Street's subway, but I found the place to make badges for 50cents! Would you like to go with my sometime to make badges? :D
