2012 Calendar Round Up, Part 8

Just when I think we’re nearly done with 2012 calendar round ups, a few more amazing designs pop up! (This happens to me every year, so I really shouldn’t be surprised)  This round up features new editions of some of my favorite 2011 calendars along with a couple of first-time calendars from some of my favorite designers, so let’s take a look!

The calendars from Michelle Armas are one of my annual favorites and feature prints of her amazing paintings (which you can keep and frame later!)

Gorgeous color and floral illustrations from The House That Lars Built

 

The first ever (yay!) calendar from Mae Mae Paperie was inspired by swimming – so fun!

A simple + modern black and white calendar from Pawling

Lots and lots of color (both back and front!) in the 2012 desk calendar from Delphine

A collection of mint-colored things in this calendar from Kate’s Papergoods (she has another based on salmon color things)

A 5-color letterpress southwestern calendar from Goosedown Press – the registration in the pattern is amazing!

 

A geometric letterpress calendar from Fourth Year Studio – inspired by traditional quilt patterns

This lovely calendar from Flora Douville incorporates her watercolor illustrations (via Frolic!)

A beautiful watercolor wash and hand lettering in this 2012 calendar from Oh My Deer

Inspired By: Neon!

I’ve been in love with the neon design trend since May, when the bright fluorescent colors made a big splash at several exhibitor booths at the National Stationery Show.  More recently, I’ve been pleased to see neon used as accents for wedding invitations, from envelopes (like Jon and Alecia) to edge painting.  So today I thought I’d do a little round up of awesome neon paper goods and accessories!

No. 1 Neon wedding invitation edge painting by Delphine; No. 2 Nutcracker print with orange neon details by Bombina Studios; No. 3 Neon twine (available here in multiple colors) by Angela Hardison via You Are My Fave; No. 4 Gift tags by Knot & Bow (and more from Lox + Savvy here); No. 5 Neon washi tape (also available here) via Minimega; No. 6 Neon crayons from MOMA; No. 7 Neon letterpress greeting cards by Fig. 2 Design Studio; No. 8 Neon papercut wedding invitations by Love Citron

These aren’t made from paper, but I couldn’t resist including these gorgeous scarves with neon details from lemlem.  So, so pretty.

{happy weekend!}

Happy weekend everyone!  Do you have fun holiday plans for the weekend?  We were supposed to go up to New Jersey to spend the weekend on the beach with my family, but the hurricane sadly canceled our plans.  So instead I’ll be spending the weekend at home, catching up with friends and finishing up a fun new addition to Oh So Beautiful Paper – I’m so excited to share everything next week!  Next week will be a big one for me; I turn 30 (yay!), OSBP will celebrate its 3rd anniversary – and we’ll be celebrating these milestones with a fun new giveaway!  I can’t wait!  But in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend:

This week on Oh So Beautiful Paper:

That’s it for me this week!  Don’t forget to enter the giveaway with Moontree Letterpress – the contest ends at midnight tonight!  I hope you all have a wonderful long holiday weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Tuesday! xoxo

Happy New Year!

Happy 2011 everyone!  It was so nice to take a little break and unplug last week, but I’m slowly easing back into my routine.  I still haven’t really wrapped my head around 2011 yet, have you?  2010 was such a whirlwind and full of transition from start to finish.  I met some of my favorite bloggers (and make new friends) at Alt, moved to a new apartment that feels more like home, and lost my grandmother – all within the first month of 2010.  A winter storm left us with more than 2 feet of snow and kept us housebound for nearly a full week.  A bit later in the year I quit my day job (yay!), started a second blog, and then the months started to fly by even faster.  There are more big changes in store for 2011, but I’m optimistic about the challenges to come.

I’ll be back with some beautiful wedding invitations just a bit later.  But since I didn’t do my usual weekly round-up last week, I thought I’d do a quick round-up to start off the week:

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and New Year!
