I adore these Cartolina cards created by Fiona Richards (of Dominion Post & Salvage) here in British Columbia. Every one of the cards is a Canadian multicultural collage of recycled paper and eco-conscious inspiration. Ancient patterns and contemporary colours, detailed type-ornaments and old wood block prints... it's a world of texture and an eyeful of sizzling colour. Completely eco-unique and delightfully refreshing!
The Postcard Notebook created by My Sweet Loveable Goods in Alberta... the book is full of recycled paper, and the cover is a beautiful postcard of a gull.
(top) A crow on my street... I just love the birds in my neighbourhood!
Looky at what thee impressive Jamie at Insidesign has created!
What local talent... and what a tease! I have a chronic and insatiable case of wanderlust...
A set of Travel Days Gift Tags, made from super-heavy cardstock with a side for writing, imprinting, or stamping those great places you visit! Yep, I would use as a snazzy luggage tag... bon vogage in style!
