I just followed a link here from Ali Edwards and I can’t stop looking at everything! Your stuff is just so cool! Thanks for showing and sharing and inspiring! I’m itchin to buy some of your etsy stuff and am no pulling together some scraps for my daughter and i to make little recycle bin books - she’s going to love it! I wasn’t planning on doing creative projects today (my to-do list is way too long), but I can’t help myself!

Great idea! These would be a wonderful way to use up that stash growing in my closet and I’m sure my girls would love some sort of matching game. Thanks!

These are great! What a weird coincidence because I’ve been making my own notepads with cardstock covers and recycled printer paper (printed on one side, blank on the other) and I just put up a blog post about them this morning. (http://www.wendolonia.com/blog/) I keep them in my purse and use them for grocery lists and something for my kid to color on when we’re at restaurants. The insides of your are much cuter though. I’ll definitely have to dig into my scrap stash to make some of these.

Hi there! I have used something similar to memorize graphic design history and art history. Put the image on one side, and the information (title, designer/artist, date, country, etc) on the back. But I love how colorful and beautiful these are. Great work!

I have gotten really inspired by your work-
did a bookmaking class in college, loved it, occasionally made my own journal books but have recently stopped doing it. these books are Wonderful but i’m wondering where you find such gems for paper etc? any resources and suggestions for how to find paper to upcycle-without investing much money-would be greatly appreciated.

thanks much!
