Keep it Clean

Stamping can be a messy business, so it makes sense to have a sink installed in your stamp studio...in an ideal world. If Nichole's lovely room addition isn't in the cards for you at this time, you can always keep a pack of wet wipes handy. And whether you have the sink or not, you can keep supplies organized in bitty bookshelves like these, which are available from IKEA. And dress up your walls with a stunning bridcage display, available at Amazon.com.

Photograph Your Work

You've spent time making a beautiful card or scrapbook page in your creative space, now it's time to share that with the world. Whether you're blogging about your project, posting it to a gallery, or submitting it to a Creating Keepsakes magazine open call, you can make your artwork shine with the proper photography. Follow Nichole's lead and add a light box studio to your craft room so it's easy to incorporate this step into your creative process. You can find information on creating your own light box on our website.
