The giveaway has ended. Scroll down to see who won!
If you're the type of person who enjoys perusing photos of beautiful paper goods while learning about the artistic techniques of designers around the world, I can pretty much guarantee the brand new book, I ♥ Stationery, will be right up your creative alley.
Block printing, letterpress, calligraphy, paper cutting, hand and digital illustration, and screen printing are introduced by author Charlotte Rivers in the compact, hardback book.
block printing
By Belinda - Los Angeles California
Terms and tools of each technique or process accompany inspiring examples of contemporary invitations, cards, notepaper, wrapping paper, calendars, journals, notebooks, and gift tags.
Despite our living in the midst of the digital age - or perhaps because of it - more and more attention is being paid to unique stationery items that make it possible to communicate with a personal touch.

I love your blog! I don't have internet access at home anymore, but everytime I take my laptop to a public wifi site, your's is one of the first sites I visit. I am always inspired by your work and the artists you highlight. Thank you! This book would be welcome and the techniques used. Thank you for the possibility to win it.
Lovely book! Would love to pour myself into it!
This looks like a simply beautiful book. I would love, love, love to spend an afternoon exploring it. Unfortunately, I live in Sweden but, if I were to win I have both friends and family in the U.S. that the book could be shipped to and they would take care of it until I visit in June.

So inspiring..The more I see what one can do with paper I don't think I will ever give away or throw out any old books again... Count me in for the giveaway.. Roseanna M. ohfrankieee@yahoo.com
Ooh, I love all the inspiring ideas that book has!! Especially the calligraphy!

Oh this looks lovely! I could use a bit of new inspiration.

I think recycled gift wrap paper is a great idea. It seems silly to make new paper to wrap things when it just gets thrown away, doesn't it? Reduce, reuse, recycle! Thanks for the chance!
The pictures are lovely! The butterflies especially caught my eye =) got my fingers crossed!
Yuenie.
Love the cut out butterflies. Would like to fly away with this book and spend some time within its pages.
Oooh...great giveaway. Thank you!

I am a stationery junkie! I bought a stack of gorgeous paper at a paper store in Cambridge, MA back when I was in college and I still have most of it (so, I guess I'm a stationery hoarder, too). I love that letterpress and other handmade stationery products are experiencing a revival. More to love! This looks like a book I'd love just for the pleasure of looking at all of the stationery goodness! Thanks for the chance to win it!
I do! I do heart stationary! What a great book!
This looks like such a cool book! I can think of so many fun things I want to do with the info inside! Thanks for the chance!
Looks like an amazingly informative and inspirational book... Thanks for the giveaway!
