For those of us who are addicted, we all know how much fun scrapbooking and rubber stamping is -- especially when used together, as a hobby.

But did it ever occur to you that you could actually make money at it?

As someone who works from home full-time, I'm always looking for ways to maximize my income, and if you love to scrapbook and play with rubber stamps creatively, you can actually make money from your hobby!

Here are some ideas to consider...

Halloween is one of my favorite times of year -- not just because of all the great horror flicks on television, but also because of all the great crafts you can make.

Rubber stamps offer all sorts of possibilities for creating Halloween crafts and many of them are ones that can be done with children as well. Let's face it, Halloween for the most part is a kids holiday. But there is no reason that we adults cannot get in on some of the fun too, and rubber stamping is a great way to do this!

Here are some ideas for using rubber stamps to spice up your Halloween:

If you're a scrapbooker, you've probably used chipboard to embellish your projects. 

If you're like me, however, you have a drawer full of chipboard pieces and have absolutely no idea what to do with them.

Crafts like scrapbooking and card making are wonderful hobbies and a creative outlets for many, but they can become very expensive.

The cost of embellishments alone can cramp your style, but here's an idea for the do-it-yourselfer.

Why not use all those fun papers, fabric scraps, and doo-dads to make your own embellishments?

I recently joined a Meetup Group (not related to Scrapbooking or Stamping) and as I was looking around, I found there are really quite a few people out there who are looking for or have already joined a scrapbooking group.

Are you hoping to find others in your area who share your interest in scrapbooking or rubber stamping?  If so, they're looking for you too!

If you are into scrapbooking and/or rubber stamping, chances are you have a brayer.  I have one.  It's still in the box.  Still hasn't been used.

I bought mine right after I started stamping (using a 40% Off Coupon, of course!).  I figured it was something I should have.  Unfortunately, I have yet to be inspired.  So what am I supposed to do with this thing?

If you think you don't have any 'Easter' stamps, remember that any spring-like flower stamps will work.

The 'Easter Blessings' sentiment on this card was stamped, but if you have decent handwriting (which I unfortunately do not), you can create the same card using a marker for journaling.
