We don�t make mistakes in scrapbooking; we only make �oops�. All mistakes are fixable with a little creative thinking. I have made my share of �oops� and would like to share some creative cover-ups with you. You can cover most
�oops� with stickers, die cuts (pre-cut shapes) or pre-cut clipart.
However if you make a spelling error, this is the hardest error to
cover up. One solution is to
draw and color over the error with acid free pens into an appropriate
theme shape (such as a butterfly, ladybug, flower etc.).
Another quick fix is to glue a coordinated colored shape over the
error and rewrite your journaling on the new paper section.
The third option you have is to either re-mount your photo over the
mistake or re-do the page. This
is one of the reasons that I enjoy computer paper scrapping.
If you make a mistake, you just print a duplicate page and begin
again. Scrapbook Stickers Misc. Cover-Ups Another common error is
to accidentally drop a glue backed photo on top of your page.
There are a couple of remedies for this one.
One fix is to buy repositionable glue at your local hobby supply
store to help prevent this from happening.
You can also begin by gluing one side down at a time or using photo
sticker squares. These handy
little inexpensive 2-sided stickers are my favorite find.
You can even remove them (carefully) if you make an error.
With really careful lifting, I have found that you can usually remove the
square from your paper without damage.
Then just remove from the back of the photo, reattach new squares
and reposition your photo again. This
must be done rather soon after you set the picture down though or it sets
and tends to tear
your paper. Scrapbook Pens, Photo Squares, etc... Many mistakes through
history have turned out to be wonderful happenings.
Your error may inspire you to create a beautiful and lasting page
for your family. I have had
several errors turn to my advantage over the years.
It�s not HOW you scrap that�s important, it is just THAT you
scrap for future generations that matters.
You can create a lasting memorial of those who have gone before
with just a few photos, papers, pens and stickers.
