patterned papers

my research into scrapbooking has led me to the fantastic designs of american crafts .these patterns are from their large collection of papers,but they also have great patterned ribbons and sweet transfers. ive been browsing the site for ages and they are definately one of my faves.

I love the top three images, this is really making me want to take up scrapbooking. A scary thought.

They are so beautiful and they have some of the best colors!

These would be great not only for scrapbooking, but for bookbinding as well. It's refreshing to see such bold patterns.

It's great to see some of these lovely papers on your site. I use them to make envelopes and cards and things, and the patterns can be quite beautiful. Some are so nice, you could frame them as inexpensive art.

You might also like some of these companies:
- Daisy D's (especially the new Girlfriends Collection)
- Autumn Leaves (not entirely up to date, so you can view more images here)
- Hambly Screen Prints

Some of these papers are even better in person, but the online images are still great to look at. :)

You are amazing! How do you consistantly find such great stuff? I love the grey and pink flowers. It's making me really itch to try my hand at some fabric design on my new printer.

I scrapbook/rubberstamp/jewelrymake, and all the fabrics on this site are making me want to learn to quilt . . . . not in the countryish style way, but with very mod stuff like this.

I just may have to give it a try . . . Hee hee! If you ever end up with spare snippets of fabric . . .!

Oh yes. I don't know if you take requests, but if you sometime wanted to do a gathering of strawberry prints/patterns . . . .

There's a strawberry umbrella I saw in your archives as I've been going through your first three months these last few days . . . I WANT it but I don't know where to GET it! Lol.

hi sarebear,
the strawberry brolly is british (from fultons) so i could only find a uk website offering it £10.
they may ship worldwide though.

to google it futher its called a 'minlite 2 (l354) in strawberry delight' fabric. over here they are found in most dept stores, so that may be the kind of place they would be sold in the US.

I am really enjoying your blog. This is wonderful!!!

Sarebear said...

THANKS! They do ship international, it doubles the cost of the brollie, but I ADORE the print so much it's WORTH it!

I haven't seen anything nearly so delightful over here, I usually glance at the umbrella displays when going in and out of a store. Although we're in a desert (Utah), so umbrella displays are generally tiny, and often not to be found.

SWEET! Thank you again!
