Eileen of Lazaflair created this personalized Camp Journal after her daughter came home from camp last year mentioning her cabin mates all had camp journals.  I'm liking these handmade versions which she personalizes for each buyer.  And make sure your camper keeps in touch with these eco-friendly personalized matching postcards!

Weekend Reading: Paper Runway

I do apologize for the mass paper influx as of late, but every year at this time, such is the case with all the paper makers coming out from under their presses with goods too good to ignore. Don't worry, it will calm down though soon, but this week with the National Stationery Show taking place we've got just a few more posts we are looking forward to sharing. Michelle Carangi of Holley and Gill is in New York right now and will be covering the NSS for us this year! Can hardly wait to see what she'll find for us - stay tuned! In the meantime, what wouldn't be more fitting than a new online magazine all about paper? And it's a goody! Paper Runway launched this month, a quarterly online magazine offering up a mix of paper goodness, hot paper products, fabulous features, beautiful paper, party inspirations, features about the hottest paper sculptors, artists, illustrators, creators and quick DIY projects! Phew! Click here to read!

NSS 2011 Preview: Banquet

Vancouver-based Banquet will be attending the NSS this year launching their new line of cards, giftwrap and prints. We've also been told they will have notebooks in the mix (which haven't been printed yet). This is their first foray into both giftwrap and notebooks where Sarah has tried to design a line that is both great for men and women. The new prints continue in the same graphic style that we love.

NSS 2011 Preview: Pistachio Press

With the National Stationery Show coming next week, we'll be featuring some previews as they come across our radar in the next week or so.  First up, I'm excited about this collaboration of notebooks by Rachael Hetzel of Pistachio Press and Abbey Hendrickson of Aesthetic Outburst!  Also they couldn't be two nicer people.  The cross stitch collection is designed by Abbey, printed by Pistachio Press.  And the mid-century design is by Rachael.  Both notebooks are printed on 140# kraft paper and contains 48-pages. They'll sell for $7 each or a set of three assorted designs for $18. They can be pre-ordered at Pistachio Press's Etsy shop here.  Rachael will also  have them in her booth at the National Stationery show, number 1664.
