Personalized Postage and Scrapbooking

There are two ways that scrapbookers could use personalized postage like that available from stamps.com. Well, scrapbookers are a creative bunch and probably could come up with many more ways but these two ideas are a start:

1. Relatively simple digital scrapbooking or photo-collage images would look nice. You could start with either a digital scrapbooking page or a handmade one which you then made digital by scanning or by taking a good sharp photo of it.

For example, this image is a small section of a photo-collage that I did about a town in Mexico, as it looks on personalized postage.

2. The custom postage itself could be excellent  to use in a scrapbooking page. Now, this could get pricey since the minimum order for a set is for twenty, so you’d want to have a use for the personalized postage you didn’t put on your page! But in most cases, there isn’t a problem using them up. If the scrapbooking page was a gift for a family member, for example, you could give that person any leftovers.

Creating personalized postage and doing scrapbooking call for such identical interests that there’s bound to be a lot of ways to combine the two art forms!
