| What are art rubber stamps and what is rubber stamping? |
| |
|
Rubber stamps come in several flavors, business rubber stamps (for return addresses, labels,
dates, etc) music chord stamps (for diagramming chords) and art rubber stamps for making art.
Rubber stamp art can be made with paper cards, envelopes, scrapbooks, journals and similar media.
Rubber stamping is an art form. As a painter uses brushes and paints, a rubber stamp artist uses
art rubber stamps, ink, embellishments and other items for their chosen media. These tools are their
means for creative expression.
We invite you to explore our online art rubber stamp store and rubber stamp art gallery pages and hope you will
find creative ideas and inspiration here.

"This set was designed to inspire you to "play"

| Simply Janet™ Journaling Stamp
Sheet |

"I created this set as a "starter set" for journalers who prefer writing to drawing/collaging in their journals, or who keep a separate written journal.
This is a basic set of useful rubber stamps, including a small stamp with enough squares to use as a monthly calendar, and boxes you can use for small snippets of text or as a "clustering" tool.
Designed to make one feel a little less intimidated by a fresh, blank page." - Janet Russell

My name is Alex and I live in Ohio. I love to check out my Mom's stamping supplies, whenever I get a chance. Sometimes, I even take a thing or two and hide it from her. It really does drive her crazy, when I do that!

Here is a picture of my Amazon Blue Front Parrot, Clancy, to add to your group of pet pictures. He talks, loves to play, and cuddle. If you don't mind the noise, parrots make great pets.

| Buster

| (owned by Sharon - VA)
|
This is my little Buster Brown. He's a handful, but he's loved despite his naughty little habits - barking, nipping, etc. Lesson learned: One must SOCIALIZE a Chihuahua as they have a tendency to be an aggressive (and demanding) breed.
