organization ideas and equipment
Getting organized, focused, and finding purpose after resigning from Stampin’ Up! was a big job. After nearly 16 years, I needed to just get out and stop feeling guilty for not blogging every day (which I didn’t do any way). I chose a stop date based on the ending date for the last annual catalog….
I absolutely love great sentiments, and found this one in a stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps. Do you know them? They are based in Oregon, and I have been buying some photopolymer stamp sets from them for quite a while. This set is called Mailbox Memos and I have been using the sentiments one…
Since I resigned from Stampin’ Up! I have organized and cleaned my Nook in between doing loads of laundry.

In today’s post, I want to go over the Basics Needed to Get Started with rubber stamping art. Yes, ART! Cards, gift tags, pretty packaging, memory keeping (scrapbooking), and more, what we are creating is art, and we all have our own style.
