Oooh such loveliness is being created at PaPaYa, made up of 2 uberly talented artists, Anahata & Gina Katkin. Everything is so vibrant and yummy. Rather than ruining it by trying to describe this beautiful work, just take a look:






There is lot's to see like gift cards, magnets, art prints, postcards, and more, at PaPaYa. It's just a beautiful site filled with gorgeous things. Check it out.

So I discovered this guy, Mister Rob Ryan, who does these gorgeous paper cut works. As I was admiring all of his work, I stumbled upon his Etsy shop, which I wasn't aware of before. But, of course why wouldn't he, his work is amazing. Here, just look for yourself...



After browsing around his site and his blog, I discovered lot's of work he's done including book covers, posters, records, magazines, etc..... It's no wonder, he's so talented. Love it.

If you haven't heard of Hambly Screen Prints, then take a moment to pay them a visit. Their products are geared towards scrapbooking. But, then again most of my favorite paper/supply sources are and I am definitely not a scrapbooker. You don't have to be a scrapper to appreciate their super products. Though the company has been in business for 35 years, they have a very fresh and hip line of papers, overlays, rub-ons, stickers, and other great stuff. I purchased a set of their awesome chandelier rub-ons a while back, and have yet to use them. They are one of those things that I love so much that I'm afraid to use them. ( I know that is silly). But, I think today, I have come up with a great idea, which if I follow through with, I'll post here. So, look at some of the delicious designs they offer below, and then go pay them a visit. You'll be glad you did.


This first one is an overlay they offer. But this design is available in rub-ons, 12x12 paper, and other screen printed products they offer. Isn't it great?


I just love this disco ball paper.


Their rub-ons are great quality, and they have some great designs.

This great shop, Rock, Paper, Scissors is full of fun paper products. I love all the colors and patterns. Like these great wood grain towels:

or these fun coloring books. This is like major big girl fun. I could totally enjoy these.



give them a visit. You're sure to find something you like.

Another favorite paper company of mine is American Crafts.
Not only are their patterns perfectly scrumptious, their paper is quality, thick, and two-sided. I love, love, love, their new lines. Check put some of my latest buys:


don't forget each of these papers is backed by a lovely coordinating solid.


and don't forget about their fabulous mini rub-on packs, which I couldn't resist:

There is a contest going on at Etsy, and the first prize is this awesome sewing machine, that I want so bad. I can't even sew. I mean, not even a tiny bit. But I'm pretty sure this baby does all the sewing for you. Now if I'm going to learn to sew, it might as well be on this machine, right. Just think, if I want this machine this bad, imagine how those that actually know how to sew must be coveting this thing. The question is, will I get my shit together enough to enter the contest, and even have a chance to win this thing? Doubtful, but it's still worth dreaming for. Here is why I wish I could sew. I have this thing for paper, and the patterns it comes in. I love it, can't get enough. This obsession would so easily work equally as well, if not better, on fabric. There is only sew (sorry couldn't help it) much you can make with paper. But fabric, oh, the possibilities are endless. Look at these I found at Free Spirit:

Denyse Schmidt:

and the always lovely Amy Butler:

in my dreams I'd make a cute little bag or a sun dress for my daughter.
I'd better get cracking on that contest....
