I’d use it as a history collection – a short quote or story from people in the local area about the town, buildings, or other people.
I LOVE THIS!!
With colors like this, I would do it all! Addresses, recipes, little anecdotes, and who doesn’t haven’t a list a mile long of fun things to do and experience? On one of those days where everything is just drab, I could spin my little color wheel and let it brighten my day. Will I call a friend I haven’t seen in years…bake my mom’s amazing pecan pie…start studying for my motorcycle license? This little merry-go-round could be practical and fun!
I would use the bulk of them for recipe cards, since I love-love-love to bake. I envision different families of baked goodies — cookies! cakes! tarts/pies! quick-breads/muffins! — on each of the different colors.
And the rest? Definitely for sharing. Since I’m a big believer in embracing life with whimsy, this could include (but is obviously not limited to): notes to friends on my typewriters; origami animals; messages like “smile & do something extra special today, ‘mmkay?” strategically placed in random public places for strangers to find; a giant color wall to cheer up my dreary college dorm room; and anything & everything else that strikes my fancy!
Wow, that’s almost too pretty to use. I’d love to win this, it would so brighten up my little cubicle.
I would use it to track all the wee little bits of paper with ideas floating in my purse.
Since I just began my Envelopments journey with the creation of my business, may i? design for you I would use this fabulous roll-o-deck as an inspiration to grow. My goal is to design an invitation in each color pallet this year! I would love to journal through the color wheel all of my clients, jobs, inspirations, and lessons learned.
Oh it is so beautiful!…I don’t get to look at anything as pretty as that where I work all day! (Direct Mail)…I would use it as inspiration to get me through the day. I would feel the colors and patterns take me away to a more beautiful place with color and shape and art….I just don’t know what I would do!
I would use this as an address book! Right now I have addresses (along with birthday, phone numbers, etc) all over the place and it would be amazing to have them all in one spot.
I think I would probably just look at it and pet the pretty paper.
On my desk. The Mac and roll o deck….that is all that is needed.
I work with my church’s children ministry and always in need of an organizer that has 100 plus kids information (parents name, phone number, grade, etc) in one easy reach!
Not that I’m one of the judges, but I think the entry below should win…!

my +1(fiance) has recently left(not permanently) me to become a medical officer with the u.s. army. i would use the roll.o.deck to write a single sweet.nothing every day(with date and time) on one side to mail as a pick me up, and to let the +1 know how i am in love, and can not wait until we are back together. my +1 would then write a response to the note with date time and send back. so that we could have an organized and sweet memories of our time apart(3years) thanks.
These are simply gorgeous! I would use it either as a guestbook for our wedding or as a recipe organizer after the wedding! Fingers crossed!
so.very.gorgeous. just got a new office & new desk and it would be perfection.

There are so many great ideas up here already! I love the idea of a blessing wheel with Bible verses categorized by color. I am also in the early stages of wedding planning and could see myself using this as a planning tool or as a fantastic guest book as others have suggested. Thank you to the Envelopments Team for making the traditional “roll-o-deck” so much prettier!
Would love this for my recipes, how fun and inspiring!

wow love the colors and patterns!
I’d love to use this for all my grandmother’s recipes. We have been nagging her to write them down for us so we don’t loose them and this would be great to display them!
I live these beautiful cards and I would love to have them class up my desk at work! I would use them to organize my business cars as well as inspire my creative juices!
A recipe organizer would be great (love color in my kitchen) but honestly I would just sit it on my desk and enjoy looking at it. Like a cute little piece of art!
We are about to start renovating our house so I will use this to keep all the millions of things you need when renovating organised. Michelle
AH! Gorgeous! I’m helping plan my sister’s wedding and LOVE the idea of using this as a guest book and have her THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ISH guests write their addresses and well wishes and words of wisdom! How do I make sure folks keep their BBQ buffet fingers off the pretty paper (or does that add character?) Maybe they could attach a photo from the photobooth to the front? Oh what a lovely (and practical) keepsake!
This is so beautiful! I would use it to section the colors into categories and memorialize my favorite things like songs/lyric , movies, quotes, etc. It would be SO fun to add to as life goes on!
I don’t know how I would use this other than to look at the beautiful colors everyday!!! I love it!! Maybe I could set it somewhere in the house to make my company jealous. Maybe I could color coordinate my house or garden. No. I would just love to look at it.
Hi! I am currently planning my wedding for next summer and would use this rolodex to keep track of everything (and all of my guests)! It is gorgeous!!!!! xoxo Melissa aka the future Mrs. Mathis!
Guest book in our guest room–we just love having people stay with us! It would be adorable!
Recipes all the way baby!!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I can see it now…Sitting upon my new/old stainless steel desk that I’ve made, with the vintage wire rack storage bin found at a railway museum overhead, spinning through the pinks for my volunteer contacts at Service For Sight. Then switching to the yellows because I need to find one of my professional contacts’ info. Then, I need to make a call to a client so I, of course, reach for the Blues because that’s where they are!
Oh, the things we find!!! The purples could be vendors for the wedding, the oranges could be the firecrackers I meet at networking events.
Moving into the delightful prints to not websites and books and articles I must see sometime…
..It’s so excitingly overwhelming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANNNNNNDDDDD…what an extraordinary GIFT!!! I know 3 people off the top of my head that absolutely NEED one of those…gift giving DONE!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Oh, yes please! I love multi-tasking, and I especially love color, so there’s no way this roll-o-decks would have just one function for me. It seems that most people are yearning to give this a good spin, and I’m no exception…
Spinning, spinning, watching with fascination,
wherever it lands decides the color for my next illustration!
Being the illustrator that I am, the primary function of this wheel would be for color palette inspiration. And with so many beautiful colors to inspire me, I’ll be sure to battle any artist block that comes my way! I would also want to fill it with any little tidbit that inspires me… business cards, pieces of paper and fabric, love notes, doodles… and not to mention use it as housing for my movie ticket stub collection I started 15 years ago.
After it’s filled, what a fun way to give it another good whirl and open it up to see what surprise awaits within!
I think this would be a great addition to my office desk. One of the first things I ask as a coordinator/planner is what the couple’s colors are and this just makes it simple!
Wow. I didn’t even think of a wedding guest book, but that’s freaking brilliant! I would WANT to use it for that purpose, but I’d probably want to keep it as pristine as possible. So, I’d either use it for phone numbers, for staring off into space, as colour swatches for projects and it’d be great to use the cards for backdrops in photos.
Nice!
I think this is the perfect way to capture new customer information when they visit my store…what a happy way to do this. It would also be a good way to show party givers and brides a new idea for a guest book. I do believe customers would just want to order one to have for recipes, ideas, info of all kinds that you are happy just looking at!
these are simply beautiful. i would use these as a business card, fill in my contact information and then give these away to my clients. then i would be the one colorful card in their set of plain white cards. a diamond in the rough.
I’m an invitation designer and photographer, often a wedding consultant too – I would love to use this to organize all my vendor and client information. I’m a bit of an organizational freak so the idea that I could color code my rolo-dex is like a dream come true! It would be such a great addition to my office that is currently undergoing a makeover to be cleaner and more colorful. I’m also a total envelopements junky (I have their mini deck that I use with my invitations) and I feel like if I got their beautiful roll-o-deck it would be a good omen for my business! Crossing my fingers.
I would put my friends’ faces on each pieces along with their contacts. And I would give it a spin everyday, that person I stopped at will be the friend of the day for me to be in contact with. Roulette of friendship! ;p
Gorgeous and so inspiring! I would use it to organize and plan for events, and of course, it would sit somewhere completely visible to make all my friends jealous of its gorgeousity.
Must. Have. This!! I’ve been trying to think of a creative way to memorize Bible verses. This would be great to print verses on, maybe even categorize them by color (encouragement, hope, peace, etc) and grab one every day, keep it in my purse or on my desk at work, then put it back at the end of the day. I just might have to get one for my siblings too to use for the same idea. OR (the ideas just keep coming!) to use as a blessing wheel. At the end of each day our family would write down a blessing and then over the Thanksgiving holiday, we’d go through our wheel and see how we’ve been blessed the whole year though. I love, love, love this wheel!
I would use it as a business cards for my clients to pick from. So i would print the business cards on a coordinating colour paper and lay it on the cards and place them on the rolodex. Then all my clients would do is select the colour they like with my business card on it
I would use the Roll-O-Deck as a perpetual calendar and include not only the month and days but include odd quirky information and inspiration.
Inspiration, inspiration, inspiration! I think I would often take them out of order to play with them on my desk; I would always put them back in order at the end of the day (or I couldn’t sleep)!
This is absolutely awesomely designed. It is something I would use this as preparation for our family Indian Wedding
Paper and colour what a treat.
Functionality of course as well but it is all about paper and colour

I’d love to use this Roll-o-deck to make my coworkers jealous. Who wouldn’t love to use the tabs as bookmarks in magazines, as inspiration for design layouts, or post-it holders for brainstorming/organizing processes on a table or wall… The uses for this beautiful roll-o-deck are endless.
I’d love to use it first as a gorgeous decor/inspiration item on my desk. Then I’d fill it with notes about my day, quotes I like, ticket stubs; a journal of sorts!
As an engineering student, there isn’t much beauty infused into my daily work. Having all of the formulas and equations I need to memorize, especially the programming algorithms, all laid out in a gorgeous fashion might just be the makeover my drab, freecycled desk needs to remind me I’m not just an all-practical engineer, but an artist and a girl as well!
(Do you give away the courage to write on such a pretty thing along with it?)
I am an Art teacher by day, invitation designer and etsy store owner by night. I have a major obsession with color and creating new combinations and this would be the ultimate toy! I think it is way too beautiful to actually use for more than looks and inspiration – I could never write on it and tarnish such a treasure!
Wow, this is so amazing! I love all of the colours, so pretty. I recently started my website up, and I would love to have this to somehow go along with it! I have been writing down every city that people have visited my website from, so maybe I could keep track of it with this!
I work for the government, and sometimes it can be a gloomy place. I would use this beautiful roll-o-deck firstly to brighten up my desk and all those who come around it. I would also store the names of people who can help me better assist the people of America, whether it be business contacts, fellow government employees, or corporations. Lastly, I would store the information of people who need my help or who I have helped so I may never forget why I go to work each and every day. It’s amazing what a tiny colorful office instrument is capable of and the amount of helpful information it can contain.
As a children’s library volunteer – I would keep track of all the books I have read and would recommend – with the book’s information on the card and a brief description. The genres would be organized by color. Since it would be located on the front desk of the library – patrons could add their comments to the card after reading the book.
