Thank you! It's so frequently applicable I just leave it as my default, lol.

My art skills are also not up to the task of making my journal look Instagram-worthy, so it's partly a control on my own frustration. (I have fallen absolutely in love with stamps for decorating, though. omg so gorgeous.)

I have admired the stamps but not yet gotten into them yet. There seems to be so many cool options.

My first several sets have been from Notebook Therapy, and I just got a whole new batch from Etsy with stars and stuff on them :3 I will be making a space-themed layout for September!

That sounds so cool!

The stamps I have seen recently on Jetpens are these clear ones that you take on and off a clear block so you can see where you're stamping which I think is very clever.

What are the ones you use like?

[lassarina]

This is one of the stamp sets I have-- they're wood block mounted, but they stamp super cleanly and you don't get any of the thing where you also get a "frame" from ink on the edges of the stamp (but then I ink them very gently and lightly, so I'm not completely sure if they're designed to minimize that.) A clear block sounds fascinating and oh no now I"m down the Jetpens hole again, lol.

Ooooh, I love those. I love the Be Open to the Universe one.

Ha! Sorry about that. I frequently fall down the Jetpens rabbit hole myself. LOL
