Favorites: Personalized Stationary (and GiveAway!)

Being slightly obsessed with paper goods, I love discovering unique and beautiful stationary. Here are a few exceptional sets I’ve stumbled across recently....

Hula Hoop stationary by Silhouette Blue: sweet, simple and fun

all%20things%20jenuine%20butterfly.jpg

Butterfly stationary set by All Things Jenuine, featuring quilling – so cool -

and the font complements the design perfectly

and

Understated with beautiful detail: Jockey Notes stationary (below)

A perfect color combination with bright, bold graphics:

And now for the GiveAway! I started with a....

1. $ 50 gift certificate from Puro Papel (good toward any personalized stationary set)

And when I mentioned to Red Stamp, ScotiaMade, All Things Jenuine, and Silhouette Blue that their stationary would be on this list, they each contributed something fabulous to the GiveAway as well:

2. Two cards featuring amusing animal conversations (above) and a few flowery gift tags from ScotiaMade ($7 value)

3. A Lamy Tipo Rollerball Pen and Pink Bird Journal (below) from Red Stamp, ($22 value)

4. A colorful quilled thank-you card from All Things Jenuine ($3 value)

5. And a set of 20 Hula Hoop notecards from Silhouette Blue (as mentioned above) - your choice of name and color! ($25 value)

.... for a total GiveAway value of over $100!

Here’s how to enter:  check out any of the five sites just mentioned and find which beautiful/well-designed/unique item inspires you... leave a comment below with the site name, the name of your chosen item, and the link to that item! You may enter more than once, but each comment must link to a different item.

I’ll randomly choose 5 winners on Sunday 3/30 – each person will win one of the items listed above. (U.S. shipping addresses only, please, and the winners will be contacted via email.)  Note:  It may take several hours for your comment to appear as comment moderation has been enabled to prevent spam.
