Paper Finds

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Ladies and gents, I’m working on something new. Same great paper content, but a new name and a new home: Discover Paper. Please update your links.

inthelandof-finn asked: Do you know what time it is?

it’s business time.

I love the work of People Too; I blogged about one of their other projects last year. They really bring life and fun (to the nth degree) to their projects. Case in point, the photo above screams fun! Actually I think the banner might scream something else in … Russian? Anycase, fun fun fun and sure to add a little pep into your Wednesday step.

I’ve been on a paper airplane kick lately, seeing lots of inspiration on blogs and whatnot, I decide to hunt down other paper finds of the airplane variety on Etsy.

Here’s a small roundup of some of my favorites I happened upon:

• Notebooks by Right Brainy
• Fine Art Print by Claire Wise
• Mobile by Cactus and Olive
• Keep in Touch card by annacote

I wish I had the means to commission a piece like this to display on my living room wall. Then again, I’d probably never stop staring at my wall.

It’s no wonder this piece by Nadia of Mama Tita is entitled “Wonder Castle.” Beautiful from every angle, especially when backlit. Pair it with paper princes and princesses and paper horses and it’ll truly be paperly ever after.

“They were cones!” - a line from one of my favorite movies, The Wedding Singer.

I love *everything* about this DIY paper cone backdrop from Ruffled. It looks doable, albeit time consuming, but things that take time tend to have a beautiful outcome, no?

• Navy Blue Stipes Calling Cards (get a load of the stitching!)
• Cupcake Card Flag
• Lumberjack Calling Cards (loooove these and I think the owner knows how I feel about them)

Pictured above are some of my favorites from the amazing Ready Go Paper Studio - I love saying the name, by the way. Makes me think of a catchy cool ’80s-esque song and it now makes me think I should quit going off weird tangents.

If I haven’t already featured Ready Go Paper Studio on my blog, then shame on me and damn me to paper purgatory (I wouldn’t dare damn myself to paper hell, because paper burns pretty easily in fire and all that would be left are ashes and whoa I’m going off an a hellish tangent).

Ready, set, go. Visit Ready Go Paper Studio. Do it. And do it now!

I have much (and mad) respect for anyone who can play the guitar. I tried my hands at many a instrument in my youth but could not hold a tune or rhythm to save my life. Yet, life went on.

I also have much (and mad) respect for the electric paper guitar or rather paper electric guitar pictured above. I wouldn’t mind hanging one of these on my wall, provided that my guests wouldn’t request a song or two from me!
