The Bijou Desk & Stationery Collection by Elum

April 19, 2016 // kristen // 1 replies

My heart skipped a beat (or three) when I laid my eyes on the gorgeous, new Bijou Desk & Stationery Collection by Elum for Paper Destiny. Omigosh, you guys, this collection is awesome! You’ll find a little bit of everything in the Bijou Collection, from journals and notepads to greeting cards, gold foil stamped file folders and chic stationery.

I am absolutely lovin’ all of the little design details in this pretty paper collection, including fantastic colors, bold pattern, brush lettering, warm gold accents, and touches of white oak wood veneer. The entire Bijou collection is sophisticated, modern, and so very craveable, but I have to say that my favorites have to be the super cool topographic notepad and the macaron-shaped erasers. So fresh and fun!

The Bijou Collection is available for a limited time, exclusively at Papyrus stores or in the Papyrus online shop.

Beautiful Floral & Botanical Mother’s Day Cards

April 11, 2016 // kristen // 0 replies

Mother’s Day is just about a month away, which is really hard to believe since the ground is covered with snow around here right now. Snow! Inches of it! Mother Nature is a tricky one, isn’t she?

I truly hope that the Spring flowers are able to recover from this late season snow and cold. But, in the meantime, I’ll be looking longingly at these beautiful floral and botanical-themed Mother’s Day Cards and hoping for warmer weather.
