I love being able to find all of my supplies. I especially love knowing what ink colors I own so that I can find them quickly. How about you?
The best way that I found to keep track of my ink colors is to swatch them and keep them all together. Jennifer McGuire came up with this idea (because she is a genius) and I love it. I created my own ink company downloads for you.
I have also created 2 videos for you –
