			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ablogaboutsigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/xyron.jpg" alt="xyron" title="xyron" width="116" height="93" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-127" />Scrapbooking has always been a huge trend among Mothers and is becoming more and more mainstream. Sometimes the costs associated with this hobby can become quite expensive. Between paper, stickers, photo printing, and other accessories, there is a lot to take into consideration. For the hard-core scrapbookers who require all the latest gadgets and prime storage for their scrap rooms, the costs can really mount.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The same can be said for those guys who like to build models. To piece together a great model takes not only time and effort, but the funds as well. If you are really creative, then the creation of your own decals and graphics can become costly.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Creating your own stickers and decals is a relatively inexpensive solution if you are a model builder or a scrapbooker. There are tools for sticker creation such as the Xyron StickerMaker. This will take anything you can fit into its opening and create a sticker from it.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Creating decals can be a bit more work but the effort can definitely pay off. First you will need to locate the image you want converted into a decals. In case this image is not the right size, use an editing software such as <a href="http://www.picnik.com/">Picnik</a> to resize and edit if needed. After the image is ready, print it on decalsheets. These sheets are available at most of your office supply stores. Pay careful attention to the type of sheets that you purchase because some actually require you to coat your decals since ink is water-soluable. There are a few brands that do not require this extra step. Once the ink is dry, soak the decals in water and then transfer your image. Once everything has dried, add a clear coat on top of your new <a href="http://www.fastsigns.com">decal</a> and enjoy.
