I have use adobe stock for a few years know. Let me tell you how I got there.
I have photo’s
You might have the same problem that I had a few years ago. When photography is your hobby but you do not really know what to do with your photo’s. I had almost 800 photo’s on my laptop that I loved but I did not do anything with. So let me inspire you to put them on a stock photo website like Adobe stock.
I do not have photo’s but need one
But it is not just a good place to put your photo’s if you have many. There might also be a few of you that don’t have photo’s to publish but are looking for photo’s. Adobe stock is also a really good place to take photo’s from to use for your publications.

There are moments your life will be on a roll and everything will be great. But that might not be the case all the time.
You might be in a moment in life where not everything is great and on a roll. That are the moments it might be difficult to realise you can not control everything. So is great to have control over some things that you can control. You how neat and organized your own house is.
There will be those moments you need to feel incontrol of something. andthen something as simple as a clean house or reorganized house could be a solution. No need to change he whole house but just keeping it clean and keeping it organized can help.
It give back that sense of control that you feel you have lost.
a few things that are great to organize at such a moment are:
These are spaces that can easily be clutterd with a lot of unused stuff that fills the space. Even though it does not give you any joy. If that is the case the item should go. Do not keep things just to fill a space in your wardrobe. It is better to have a wardrobe that is a lot more empty but all the things in it give you joy and you love to wear and use. Then a wardrobe that is full of things but makes you feel like you have nothing to wear.
When you need to throw it out:
A quick blog post about something I thought was a great idea.
I had a jar of chocolate spread that was almost finished. But my mother said that there was still to much in the jar to throw it out. But there was also not enough to cover a slice or even half a slice of bread.
What I did about it?
I put some ice cream in the jar.
It was great. I highly recommend that you try this.
There are many art supplies you already own and know you need for making good art.
But let me show you one that you may not have thought about that is great to have if you like doing art projects of small home improvements.
This is absolutely amazing. Sometimes you find the perfect font or image and you want to copy it on your project. But you also want it to be as perfect as possible. So it is really easy to print out the perfect image and traces it.
You can buy this in packs of 10 or 100 papers.
How to use carbon paper
You put the dark blue shiny side down on the project you want to trace in the image on. That means the light blue side is up. On top of that you put the paper that has your image on it that you want to traces. Then you can just trace that image on the normal paper with a pen. And when you are done you can lift of all the papers and your image will be on your project. Keep in mind that the blue lines on your project are permanent you can not get it of with an eraser.
I hope this wil help you to create better art without breaking a sweat.
