So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Why Not Have Fun With Digital Stamps

By Heidi Arrowood


People have always enjoyed the hobby of collecting stamps. It is a way to learn about other countries and an endless number of important public figures. Now a new version of this collectible has come along. A collector finds many ways to have fun with digital stamps too.

In addition to collecting them, there are dozens of crafting possibilities. They are often used to personalize letters and greeting cards. Print them, cut them out and glue them to the cards. They are versatile and are growing more popular by the day.

Sometimes they are called digi stamps and there are many ways to use them. What you should know about them is they are black and white images. They can be colored either before or after printing them.

Although they resemble clip art, there are differences between the two. While rubber stamps have a wooden or acrylic base, they do not. They can be used in the same way the rubber kind are used after you print them.

You can color the black and white digital files before printing or after. They can be embossed and used to create scrapbook pages. These can be used to make hard bound or digital scrapbooks. Greeting cards made with them are prized by family members.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to using these as opposed to the other type. You can get them fast, right online, saving the cost and delay of having them delivered by the post office. The cost is low.

Crafting ideas are endless. These can be applied to fabric, including canvas. They can also be applied to glass, enabling you to decorate coffee mugs for gifts. There is no problem with storing and keeping track of them because they will remain on your computer until you decide to delete them.

You can share them with as many people as you like while still retaining them for your own future use. Your home computer, a printer and publishing software are all you need to make perfect craft projects. You will need to watch out for the printer ink to bleed, thereby blurring the image. It may take two or more tries before your project is perfected.

Children will love them. When you print out a bunch, they can come up with very creative ideas for craft projects. They are useful to make cards and gifts that are personalized. Teachers like to urge children to be creative and the fun with digital stamps enhances the excitement of turning out a project to call their own.
