The sticky note is commonly considered to be an essential business supply. However, many artists, despite their complete lack of businesslike characteristics, would be completely lost without the versatile sticky note. There are so many artistic uses for these little pieces of paper.

• Rubber stamp enthusiasts use sticky notes to help them build elaborate stamped scenes. The crafter stamps an image and then covers it with a sticky note so that the next stamped image doesn’t get ink on the first image. After the new image is stamped, the note is easily lifted away without tearing the cardstock.
• Artists who are working on several pieces at once jot notes to remind themselves of their plans and stick the notes on the pieces to help jog their memories when they switch to a new piece.
• Veteran scrapbookers know that writing on a photo back with a ball point pen could actually cause quite a bit of damage, since the ink can eventually eat through the paper until it reaches the front of the photo. These memory mavens frequently jot notes about an event and the identity of the people in the shot on a sticky note instead. They adhere the note to the back of the photo until they have time to create a scrapbook page.
