introducing mixed paper books 2.0

Mixed2.0 IMG_1950
I have been trying to figure out what's next for the mixed paper book. When bolts of fantastic fabric arrived at Paper Source last week (only @ the Georgetown location), I knew it was the inspiration boost the books needed. I picked a few of my favorite styles and then set to work gathering and cropping papers to match the colors of the fabric.

The books are sized 4×6 and are thicker than my normal mixed paper books. Brightly colored papers and envelopes for tucking away ideas make up the pages. Ten to fifteen of each style will be available in the shop tomorrow for the update at 3PM EST. I will listing 13 original mixed paper books then as well.

I am off to YOGA this morning! How nice to say that and really mean it. It has been over two years since I have taken an actual class and my muscles are already dancing just thinking about it.

Good stuff abounds. Happy Tuesday.

    how about we set up a system that you just automatically send and charge me for one of everything you do since I love ALL of it. Can’t wait, Elise! Everything looks great.
