So I scrapbook a lot of "Best Day Ever" stuff. But sometimes it's not the best day ever. I'm working on a vacation album and we spent a day in the emergency room after DS was stung by a jellyfish. I'm struggling to make the page look like it belongs in the album because I have no embellishments or stamps that work for when something is a bummer. I've been going through the stamps at ACOT (since they ship free right now) but they have 85 pages! Anyone know of a fun set for when something kind of sucks?

I had some pictures of my son's auto accident. He is really banged up and the car was totaled. I used Thickers since there really wasn't a title for that and a bandaid didn't seem to cut it. You could look at some of those stamps to get ideas for a good title and then just use your own letters.

Could you use thickets or letter stickers to create the phrase "so much for" and put it in front of a premade thingie that says "the best day ever"?

If you have an "n" sticker or stamp, you could place that so the phrase reads "best day never."  |

Own this, have used this far more than I initially anticipated. Life is full of bumps, small and big ones. Double thumbs up for this thumbs down stamp set. |

Funny timing on this question because I was looking for a stamp set to scrapbook the not so good moments too! I couldn't find anything worth spending the money on! This past week Sweet Shoppe Designs (a digital scrapping store) was having a retirement sale and low and behold there are sets of pocket cards on sale. I bought 3 sets for under $7. I actually use a lot of digi supplies in my paper scrapping. Completely customizable and a lot less expensive.

I have some stamps that have a lot of *foul* language and I love them. Sometimes when a day is going wrong being able to stamp #$#@ makes me feel better.

Several years ago Hero Arts had some stamps they sold in a short lived Shimmelle line. They had phrases like 'That's real life' ,
'seriously?' And 'Yeah thanks for that'. There was even one that said 'fail'. I did a search and couldn't find the set but maybe eBay?

I like the idea of putting a "not" before "best day ever" or something to that affect. It emphasizes things didn't go as planned.
Your post reminded me of a lo I did years ago of my daughter playing in rain puddles and I used "such a girly girl" with a "not". I didn't think I'd ever get to use those type of phrase stickers because she never was girly.

I have been scouring the board for a thread from several months ago on this very topic and there were some great links to stamp sets like the ones you're looking for. Hmmmm. I'm going to keep looking because there were some good ones!

Yeah...I'm so getting that sucky-day-part-1 set. I was lamenting overused phrases the other day, and wishing for some new stamps when I started counting some of the repeated words. I have 6 Best Day Evers, 14 Awesomes, 9 Epics, 3 sets of he said/she said....I quit counting "Happy", "Cute" and the like after 30. I have a fair few stamps, but 14 awesomes is...not awesome? Might be epic though.  "Crappiness right here" I can definitely use, and I bet I'll only ever own 1 of them! |

Potty mouth is good at Studio L2e as well. Perfect for "those" kinds of days!

Studio l2e has a couple for the less than perfect days. I really like the quality of their stamps.  I have these sets and they're awesome!  |
