Gadabout.

“A friend of mine once looked at my work and said, “You must really love your life.” Before I could ask what he meant, he said, “Because you always seem to be drawing it.” It was the best compliment I could have been given…”

That quote hooked me and Gadabout’s cards reeled me in.

I’ve been stalking maythird for some time now because they sell the cutest paper tags. If you haven’t ever stopped by this shop it’s definitely worth a look.

Win It: Two Brunettes.


Two Brunettes has been on my radar ever since they jumped onto the Etsy scene with their lovely paper goods and their must-read blog of the same name. Making things even better are the two Brunettes behind the curtain who are sweet as pie. Case in point: this week they’re giving one of you your choice of card from their shop!

How to enter:
• Tell me which card in their shop is your favorite
• Include an email address where you can be reached
• Do it all before Monday, June 8th at noon CST

A winner will be chosen randomly soon after.
Good luck!

ecojot.

I have more paper goods than I can shake a stick at (do people still say that even?), but I can’t stop smiling when I look at ecojot’s collection. Their notebooks are my favorite, but they also have a big ‘ol selection of agendas, calendars and other things covered in their fun and carefree illustrations! (Psst… don’t miss their free eco cards and desktop wallpaper!)

Win It: Thoroughly Curly.


I’m thrilled to be able to introduce Thoroughly Curly Designs and her adorable calling cards as this week’s Win It contest! I think it’s always très chic to have a personal card to hand out as opposed to a business card in certain situations. And lucky, lucky you because you can win the set of your choice!

To enter, take a look at Thoroughly Curly’s calling card gallery and choose your favorite. In the comments tell me which one rocks your world, why you need people to call you and your email address. You have until Tuesday, June 2 at noon CST to enter the contest.

Good luck and may the force be with you!

Frame Mats.

Forever ago I came across an image of these frame mats from Sycamore Street Press. Only I didn’t know who was responsible for this great idea or where I could find them. But now I do – yippee! Just attach your photo in the center, then trim the excess mat to fit your frame.
