Welcome!

I am in the process of getting our Etsy shop ready for the Launch Party on Monday, August 17, 2009.

I have been in the paper business now for a little over two years, but have been a paper artist for longer. I started using regular cardstock and pre-designed papers. While those are beautiful and I still enjoy using them, I felt I needed to do more. I had always wanted to make my own paper, but could never take out the time do to it. When I did...OMG! What an amazing thing. I saw colors and styles coming from all over the place. There was so much I could do with this new love! Mixing different color pulp, adding botanicals, making molds in different shapes, it is endless!

Since I have so much paper and it just keeps coming (junk mail, kids old books that they have torn up and so on), I can't possibly keep all of this paper I am making. So now is where we come to Pulp 'n Stuff. I decided to use this paper for making cards (eco-friendly and fun), stationery as well as sell some of the combinations of paper that I come up with.

I never add color, I separate papers by color before using them so that I don't have to add any other colors. (This also mean that once that batch is gone, you may or may not see that color again!). Because this paper has already been made once, it already has sizing added to it which will keep ink and markers from bleeding. So you can write whatever you want and it will still look the same!

So that is the introduction, I have to get back to the details now! I am looking forward to the launch party and can't wait to hear what you think about Pulp 'n Stuff.

Thanks for visiting
