The December BYOC is here! And it’s 25% off!

I can't believe it's December already! Where has the year gone?! But one good thing about a new month is that it's BYOC time! December's pieces are colorful and full of so many possibilities! There's something for everyone! It's all on SALE at 25% off this weekend only, and the more you buy, the more you save!

I have two new products in this month's collection. First up, from lightly wrinkled to thoroughly scrunched, Bloomin' Crumpled is full of colorful, handmade layered card stock flowers to add touchable dimension to your page. Eight unique blooms, each in 1 solid and 2 multicolor versions, for a total of 24 whimsical crafty pieces.

Next it's... Abracadabra? Abstra Wha-whatsit? Say hello to Abstra-Typogra! As in Abstract Typography! I've always admired the lines and curves and shapes of a well-crafted typeface, and these papers are a nod to that love. The patterns on each of these bold papers were created solely from the forms of over-scaled type. Some are still recognizable as characters, while others become all about the space and movement of the design. Abstra-Typogra Papers includes 20 beautifully textured 12x12 papers.

This is just a small sampling of the amazing pages by my creative team and the Pollywogs using these and other BYOC goodies...

Journaling: What seems to be a serious stare from you is actually deliberate silliness, exclusively for the benefit of the camera. I know there is a happy goofy boy immediately behind that facade. Even just looking at this photo instinctively makes me smile to try to get you to laugh and end the ruse.
