I’m completely taken with the papercut journals, notebooks, cards, and art pieces by The Time Is Now. The white on white color scheme is absolutely elegant, and the imagery of bees, honeycombs, and woodland animals is lovely. Here’s a little more paper cut eye candy:

Sarah Bridgland

Paper artist Sarah Bridgland’s Flickr caught my attention the other day, and I’ve been swooning over her awesome paper collage work for the past few days. How totally fantastic is that wreath?! I just love her use of vintage ephemera to build the pieces, and all of the tiny details mean that you can look at a piece a dozen times and see something new each time. See Sarah’s full Flickr stream here — it includes in-process images and images from her studio, too — and view her portfolio here.

Pearl & Marmalade

How have I not featured the Pearl & Marmalade line before now? Bad, Kristen! Their gorgeous letterpress cards and prints feature pretty illustrations with a touch of whimsy, and I’m loving all of the items that I’ve chosen to feature today because the beautiful, muted colors just scream autumn … to me, at least.

You can see all of the paper lovelies that Pearl & Marmalade has for sale at their Etsy shop, and here’s a little more eye candy to get you warmed up:

Paul Thurlby Alphabet Prints

I love kitschy retro imagery, and I love the alphabet trend that’s been hot, hot, hot this year so, of course, it was love at first sight when I spotted these alphabet prints from London based illustrator, Paul Thurlby, over on Hello! Lucky’s blog the other day. It’s always so much fun to see what different creatives do with an alphabet! Each letter is available as a limited edition 12″ x 9″ signed and numbered giclee print, and you can check out all of the letters over at Paul Thurlby’s shop. Here’s a sneak peek:
