Friends are so important to our lives!

  Carta Bella's paper line True friends by Carina Gardner inspired me to create this 6"x6" mini book to celebrate friendship.

 This mini is made with chipboard covers,

 and screw post mounts.

 There are multiple cardstock pages in the center for photos or telling a story (they are not all photographed).

Paper Mermaids has all the supplies needed to create this special book.  Maybe you would want us to create a "kit basket" with multiple books and supplies for a special child's birthday party coming up?  Call us with your needs... we can help make it special!

Tropical Adventure

Spring is here and so many of us are planning our summer adventure.  We have created a lovely mini for you to make as a keepsake of your wonderful tropical vacation past or present:

 Rich colors....

 don't forget the fun had at the beach.

 Journal about the fun...

 Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue....

 helps us preserve our tropical memories.

Happy summer.

Contact us for a kit to create your own.  We will ship to you!  www.papermermaids.com  carol@papermermaids.com

Our latest two-page layout is here! The theme is romance, and let the pinks and blacks stir your imagination...memorialize your recent Valentine's Day with your sweetheart, your child or grandchild's wedding, or ? The only limit is your imagination. The kit is $15 (can be mailed for a small fee). If two or more would like to come in and work in-store, just give us a call to set up a time!

Are you a Duck or Beaver fan? Related to one? Looking for a great journal to record your next coastal visit? Looking for some great paper and embellishments to capture your coastal visit (it's very elegant paper, featuring lighthouses, crustaceans, ships and more...lots with flocking and glitter!) then you need to come see us!

Heirloom Productions Rubber Stamp and Paper Arts Festival returns to Portland March 23rd and 24th at the Expo Center! Get your discounted tickets at our store. It's $6 for a two-day ticket.
