Paper Crush: The Class of 2014

Happy New Year!

If i look back on my journey with Paper Crush in 2014 i'm pretty proud of how much i've been able to put into the blog in its first year. I wrote my first post in February where i told you i was a full-blown stationery addict and then spent the rest of the year sharing with you some of my favourite stationery items, shops and designers.

So today it seems fitting to look back on some of those stationery items that really made my year.

I present to you, the class of 2014....

My Pencil Day post for National Stationery Week last March saw me feature one of my favourite products of the year - these pencils from Anthropologie!

From my Hello Spring Pastels post, these Abigail Warner notelets just have the most beautiful photography! 

 I still adore the feathered print on this Nikki Strange notebook for my Watercolour Notebook feature

I was lucky enough to do a giveaway with Fox & Star on this rather beautiful pocket travel journal this year - i almost didn't want to send it away! 

Well we had a rather lovely Summer this year and yellow really was a favourite colour crush of mine. Pencil case from Pamplemouss. 

Another favourite mini trend of mine over the Summer was the jungle theme in fashion and stationery and of course Rifle Paper Co pulled it off in fabulous fashion!

 I was so excited when Louise Wright agreed to be my Paper Crush in July and even more ecstatic when she offered my readers another giveaway!

 I've looked at this photo at least a thousand times this year and every single time i sit in amazement. Andy Singleton, i bow down to you!

 I think it's safe to say there's one lady who has had a rather successful 2014 and i wish Leona over at Lucky Dip Club another fabulous year in 2015 too!

 I was so excited when the lovely people at Great.Ly let me open my own boutique (gift tags from A Sensible Habit) - it's been such a lovely experience so far and i cannot wait to see what's coming for 2015!

 I got to say hello to a lot of pretty awesome people these year and i became a little obsessed with the designs over at Katie Leamon! 

 

Another addition to my Great.Ly store this year - this Noel tape by Rosa & Clara Designs is just too cute and perfect for festive mail too!

One of my favourite posts to pull together this year was my Christmas Card Gift Guide (photo featuring Gold Lion cards) - thank you again to everyone who was involved! Look out for more features in 2015 :)
