   I had that problem when I tried using Elmer’s school glue. Might just be the adhesive you are using. Or there could be a lot of moisture in the air.Rubber cement could work, but it will not be a permanent adhesive and will still have enough moisture in it to make the paper bubble up. I would test it first to see how it does. I use the double sided sticky dots for my projects now, I love them.

   bring it to staples or somewhere that does color photo copies, and give it a shot. I’m sure you can find someplace that has high quality copies and then you will have your own.

   I’ve never used iron on paper stickers. I’m pretty sure you aren’t supposed to iron those onto paper. I know you usually do that if you are ironing them onto cloth (shirt, apron, etc).http://desktoppub.about.com/od/transfers/l/aa_transfers.htm

   1. Google scrapbook sketches. It will give you a lot of layout ideas.2. Color blocking. Large areas of color, arranged pleasingly as a background.3. Use better paper. Construction paper degrades and fades very quickly.4. Invest in a few sheets of patterned paper or a scrapbook page kit. They even have them at walmart now, and a little zip with patterns adds SOOOO much variety. A little goes a long way too, so you really don’t need a lot. ( I did an entire 24 page, 8 1/2 x 11 travel album with one 6 page page kit and solid papers.)5. Google ‘free scrapbook classes’ for a basics class in page layout and design. It will be time well invested.6. Have a GOOD time with it. If it becomes a burden, you won’t want to finish it.

   well if your artistic an idea would be to get avery label paper then you can either print the design you want on it using a computer and printer or you could draw the design, then youd use an exacto knife and cut out the design, avery labels shouldnt leave any sticky residue on you like most tapes would and it should stick as well as most tanning stickers. hope this helps

   Homemade sticker adhesive recipeSticker Adhesive· 1 packet (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin· 1 tablespoon cold water· 3 tablespoons boiling water· 1/2 teaspoon sugar or corn syrup· 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (or flavor of choice)Paint brushSprinkle gelatin into cold water and soften for 5 minutes. Pour boiling water in gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved. Add corn syrup or sugar and extract. Mix well. Thinly apply a layer of adhesive to the back of the sticker sheet. Allow to dry completely. Page will curl so place under a heavy object like a phone book until it flattens out.Using sharp scissors cut stickers apart.Any leftover adhesive will gel overnight. To return to original state, store in glass container. Place container in a pan of hot water unti the glue becomes usable again. Unused adhesive can be refrigerated for several months.

    If you have kids, the easiest thing to do is to dress them up in “cowboy” gear, get them a broom as a stick horse, and let them play while you snap pictures. Then do a scrapbook page with a “cowboy” theme. If you do not have kids, I am not sure.

    Walmart. Even on their website, which should offer the choice of shipping site to store for 97 cents. They are called foam dots, I believe. You can also find them at Hobby Lobby! I use lots of stuff like that.

    You do it however you like. What I usually do is trim the pictures and mount them on white paper. I like a white margin around my pictures. Then I lay them out on a 2 page spread (my facing pages have to coordinate, but that’s my quirk), and move them around until the overall picture is pleasing.I don’t use stickers anymore, but I might put some contrasting paper on the edges as a border, or make the top and bottom of each page out of 2 coordinating prints, and I like to use buttons, rhinestones, fabric flowers, die cuts and ribbon on the pages…just not too lumpy so I don’t get dents in the pictures. I do use sticker letters sometimes, but mostly I make letters with my Sizzix or Cricut. Each page is separate, meaning I don’t use the back of a page for the front of the next page. I might want to move them around, and if I use ribbon, I like to wrap it around the edge of the paper and tape it.It’s your album and you can do whatever you like.

    Do you have a Hobby Lobby around where you live. I know for sure that they have honey moon and wedding stickers. They have TONS! Hope you find some!If all else fails, maybe try online.

    Glue is probably your best bet. Iron on adhesives would probably work but the process of “ironing” would melt the stickers.Here are a couple samples of Aleene’s Craft glue that may be what you need to adhere the stickers to a t-shirt. They can be found at Craft Stores and/or fabric stores. Aleene’s® Patch & Appliqué GluePerfect for the latest appliqued looks in fashion, Aleene’s Patch & Appliqué Glue is geared for adhering trims, patches and appliqués to machine washable garments and fabrics. Strong and flexible, the bond created by Patch & Applique Glue holds up after repeated machine washings.Aleene’s® Liquid Fusible WebThis unique adhesive allows you to fuse appliques, laces, trims and fabrics to fabric. Completely washable, dry-cleanable and permanent. Recommended for: Lace, trims, appliques, fabric. (Not recommended for 100% polyester or delicate fabric.)

    You did not specify what size you were working with — 12 x 12, 8 x 8 or 6 x 6 or a custom mini-book?A custom mini-book may be the way to go. You might want to use the papers you got as an accent piece on each page, like a block or border, edge. You can also scan the pages and print out several copies if you need to make more than one.Include quotes of hopes, dreams, inspiration, friendship in your book.Add a little journalling, short sentences, of memories or dates, or events.Any scrapbook layout can be altered to your size or preference.

    Do you ever write real ‘snail mail’ letters to friends? Those are great stickers for both the letter and the envelope … and I may order some for myself. I’m 58, but have some snail mail pen pals who will love them on my correspondence!
