Have you ever tried to make a hand-print from your little-one? If your baby is like my son (s)he will crumble up the fingers and make it real hard to make a nice print before you have ink all over the page, your clothes and the baby's face.

When making hand-prints for a baby album, card etc.:

1. Scan a picture of the hand into the computer by placing the hand flat down on the glass plate in the scanner.
2. Transfer the picture to Paint (any photo editing program will of course work) and change the picture into the colors you want
3. Print it on the smooth side of a transparency using an ink-jet printer.
4. Let the ink dry for at least a few minutes and transfer it to paper the way you use a rub-on. (for on how to make your own rub-on see the guide by yourmemoriesbydesign-ymbd) The ink can dry for more than an hour and you will still be able to use it.
