Rather than purchasing scrapbooking supplies that may not be a perfect fit for the page you're working on, you can create your own stickers, pages, and embellishments. Using desktop publishing software, such as Microsoft Word, write out the words or phrases you want to include on your page. Set them in a font that matches the style or theme of the page you're creating and print them out. For most pages, you'll have to cut out your words and add them on to the page, but with different types of paper for your printer, you can expand your options.
Many printers are capable of printing on paper other than plain white printer paper. You may want to do a couple of test runs, but many printers can print directly on the pages you plan to add to your scrapbook. You can also purchase decorative paper or even full page stickers that you can print on and then cut out to add new designs and colors to your pages. If you have a color printer, you have even more options when it comes to creating your own scrapbook supplies.
