My latest album, about my recent trip to South Africa, begins with faxes from friends inviting me there, then there's the following page showing my passport picture in the photo compartment of our grandma's wallet frame stamp and plane tickets and even baggage claims. Next came a photo of my suitcase packed for safari and another of me hugging my husband goodbye. The album told the day by day story of all that happened and the friends I'll never forget. A trip, an adventure, a child growing should be sequential to tell the album's viewer your story. In reality, stamps are as safe as other media because they use the same products and coloring agents as used in scrapbooks.
Some companies manufacture both stamps and scrapbook supplies.
Rubber in itself is not harmful. I mentioned that some sticker paper is now acid free. Package labels tell us if the product is pH neutral, photo safe, archival or lignin free. And most product packaging provides a phone number to call if we have questions about products. Another feeling is that stamps are expensive.
