If you’ve been scrapbooking or at least purchasing digital supplies for very long you’ve likely run across digital stamps. And no, I don’t mean postage stamps. Even way before I discovered digital scrapbooking, I have always loved the way “stamping” looked on cards & layouts. A very long time ago I tried desperately to be a “stamper”.
