Boxed stationery sets

Exciting new products!! I've been working on these for a while, so I'm pretty thrilled about it! :) These boxed stationery sets come in six different themes, and each set comes with 15 5"x7" sheets of stationery paper, 10 matching envelopes, 10 matching note cards and 10 note card envelopes. Available for $20 per set, in my shop.

On a quick side note, does anyone know how to brighten photos in photoshop without washing out the color? I use natural sunlight, but my pictures always need to be brightened anyway, and the "brighten" function always fades the color. It's not usually a problem with my grayscale products, but almost all of the stationery sets got washed out. The par avion set is the only one that came out almost perfect. For instance, in the neapolitan ice cream set, you can't tell that the paper background is pink, brown and cream striped. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!! :)

New products and artwork!

I finally got my camera back today so I was able to take some photos of my new products! I have a few things in this post, but I also have one REALLY exciting project that deserves a post all to itself, and that will go up a little later today :)

First, flapper pill cases! It comes with a removable pill-divider insert and has a small compact mirror inside.



...and flapper photo albums! Each one holds 24 4"x6" photographs. It features an illustration of Ramona taking a photo on the front, and on the back there is a snapshot of Eloise and Ramona vacationing in Paris.



And the new artwork designed for the album is also available as a print! -


Everything is up now in my etsy shop! Also, I am FINALLY updating my off-etsy shop this week to include all of my new products, and my prints in larger sizes. I must have drank too much grapefruit juice or something (if such a thing is possible..) because the ideas just keep rolling through my brain, and I can't seem to stop. I have even MORE products planned for this week!! I ordered some new supplies that just came in the mail yesterday, so hopefully I'll have the new stuff finished and photographed by the end of the week!
