Beautiful Bookplates
I don't know if I've ever been so excited over a printed product for the shop. Really and truly, these so exceeded my expectations when they returned from the printers, I was in paper-nerd heaven!
The surface of each label is very lightly textured, and just so darn nice.
We're already putting ours to use around here! Josiah asked if he could have 900, and I said: "...You can have maybe 9". I've been scheming these since the freebie download at Craftsanity, and I'm so proud to offer them in my shop. They are packaged up in glassine packets, and look so very pretty that way.
They're now in ye olde shoppe, so if you're of the bookplate-ish persuasion, hop over and take a peek!







Haha. I would be excited too. Those are really beautiful. I want some.

Oh they are just lovely! I would consider myself in the paper nerd catagory as well. :)

Perfecto Miss! They make me want to paste them in all of my husbands books. I am very sure he would give me attitude about it, sadly. I wrote his name in a book once before we were married because a friend of his was going to read it and he went off on me.

Oh I love them I'm not sure if any of my books are worthy though...they might have to become like the sticker collection of my childhood -just for show.

These are great..
Soo..I had a dream last night that I was in this kitchen, which turned out to be my dream kitchen, because it had yellow walls and turquoise trim/appliances. And one wall had this collection of about 10 of your prints..I wanted to move in..lol..
