I love paper. Stationery, cards, invitations, posters, art prints, paper art and even paper samples. If it’s made out of paper, then I’m interested! I love looking through sample and promo books from paper companies. It helps me to visualize how things print on different papers. Nothing compares to seeing and feeling the paper itself. The promotional books are also great for inspiration and learning new techniques. If you are a designer you can order swatchbooks and promotional books from most paper companies. Some of my favorites are Mohawk, Neenah and Sappi. All of these companies also have great designer resource sections to their websites which I love!

dropping by from MLM! Likewise, i love paper products, especially so if they are handmade with love. The internet is wonderful and provides us with the ease of convenience… however, nothing beats the feeling of being able to do things with paper – be it to make ur own crafts, write a letter to a pen pal or get a book published in real life and not online. you agree?

I totally agree! I have collections of random paper products that I love flipping through. I try to get some paper crafts in for a break from the computer.
