New at Galison

I've shared my love for Galison products in the past, and wanted to share some new products that are currently out! Who doesn't love little keepsake boxes? The Seasons in Bloom is a new collection, and they are beautiful.  I own the Vincent one, and love it.  I've displayed it every year in my dorm room.

Kate's Paperie

Today I met up with a dear friend I hadn't seen in four years!  What a day, and what fun.  We went in to a very cute paper store called Kate's Paperie.  I loved looking at all of the stationery and printed papers! Some of the stationery was sold by companies such as Night Owl Paper Goods, which I'm sure you all know and heard of, and another company that's new to me called Bobbin Designs, which is oh, sooo adorable!  Other brands included Cavallini, Kate Spade, Lilly Pulitzer, and Vera Wang.

             

Happy Hump Day!

Hello! I apologize for being so sluggish on posting...I feel like I should be punished for it. My schedule is getting crazy! So this week for CAD we are taking a previous repeat pattern that we have designed and digitally altering it to a new one to fit as a wallpaper along with a coordinate. Today we had to present some wallpaper companies that inspired us. Out of the many companies I found, which were all beautiful in design by the way, TROVE (located in New York NY) stood out to me most. The wall paper is very abstract and illustrative. I think they are so beautiful and so different from what I'm used to seeing.

p.s. Today I threaded a loom for the first time! I'll take pictures of the loom so you can see :)

Making Memories

Everyone who knows me well knows that I love paper. I have so many design paper pamphlets it's ridiculous. I'm running out of space for them! My favorite paper prints are the vintage prints. Lately every time one catches my eye, I look who it's put out by and I see the little "m" from the Making Memories collections. Today I came a cross a 6x6 paper kit that I had by their "Chloe's Closet" Collection and I even have a couple of their canvas tags hanging from the rear-view mirror of my car. One that reads "Serendipity" and the other, "Creative Work is Play". I've gotten so many compliments on them, so when I saw the paper kit today, I thought to myself, "Oh, my gosh, why haven't I made a post about this? Duh." So here it is, some lovely little picks from Making Memories. Their products are perfect for scrapbooking, cardmaking, and collaging, and they have a wide variety of collections to choose from. My favorites are the "Passport" and "Vintage Findings" collections. You can also check out their blog as well!

Have A Lovely Weekend!

Missing my friends from Savannah :( I have the urge to send them all surprise letters!

Stationary from Night Owl Paper Company

Prints on Etsy

Hi everyone! Sorry for my lack of activity. I usually try to make at least one or two posts a day, but it's been a hectic week. Anyways, I was just surfing Etsy, and found these fun, illustrative prints. They are done by Leah Duncan, whose from Austin, Texas, and has her own stationary company called Lulu Paper. I love the use of color and layering she uses to create depth in her pieces. The uneven line quality gives these a playful, fun, and whimsical feel. I've always loved the illustrated touch. I would totally buy these!

Stationery

One of my favorite hobbies has always been hand-making cards. I love these simple little cards. I adore the simple shape and the cute patterns on each one. I love mixing and matching when it comes to card making. You can make a design for the envelope and use a simple card, or use a plain envelope and create a cute patterned card. You can even add a little patterned surprise on the inside of the plain envelopes, which always dresses it up. These lovelies were found on Etsy, designed by Anna Mackhardison.
