No matter how careful you are, there will inevitably be a time when you make a mistake in your scrapbook. However the difficult part, is that not all the mishaps will be the same, and so they cannot all be treated with the same methods.

That’s why in this post I would like to share with you a few of the tips that I’ve developed over time to disguise many of my blunders.

Mistakes, Marks, and Glue

If you notice a real mistake mark, or small bits of glue on your album page, you can try rubbing them off with a soft white eraser. Apply light pressure to start with to avoid damaging the page, and if the mark does not disappear, with care, apply a bit more pressure until the mark is gone. This has saved my layouts many times in the past.

Make It A Feature

Otherwise, If the mark won’t go, you can turn the mark into an engaging squiggle or doodle and present it as a feature of the page.

Book Text

For mistakes made in journal text, try covering it with a sticker that is the same colour as the journal page, and then just write the new text on the sticker.

Bigger Mistakes

If the error is larger, you can cover the mistake with a bigger sticker (or picture) such as a smiley face, kitty, flower, or starfish. All you have got to do is think about something that fits in with the theme of the page. This a good one because nobody will ever realise that it basically it hides a mistake.

White/Black Page Mistakes

If the mistake is on a plain white page, and the mark is only small, ‘white-out ‘ can be employed to cover it. And for black pages, you can also get ‘black-out ‘ from most craft stores.

Finger Print Smudges on pictures

Fingerprint smudges on your photographs can be removed by rubbing the fingerprints with care using a bit of flannel or a dry baby wipe.

I am hoping these tips can can help you to get out a sticky situation, the next time you make a blunder (because they certainly have for me).
