Inspiration Awaits: A Look Inside Mixed Media Paper Books
Three Books, Endless Possibilities
There’s just something magical about holding a stack of fresh, art-filled pages—each one ready to be snipped, glued, scribbled on, or tucked into your latest creation. I designed these three paper books to spark that exact feeling. They’re full of color, texture, and little moments of inspiration just waiting to be turned into something new.
Take a peek at the video below to see what’s inside and how you can use them to add richness, joy, and a whole lot of fun to your creative play.

Mixed Media Artist Papers:
Volume #4
This book is all about big, bold, layered backgrounds. Think paint splatters, ink washes, pencil marks, and textured surfaces that look just like they came straight off your studio desk.
Timeless Scraps:
Ephemera Collection
This one’s a treasure chest of vintage ephemera - from weathered blueprints and aged envelopes to handwritten letters, library cards, and even a scanned French will. Each page was carefully curated from my own collection.
Creative Confetti:
Art Bits and Pieces
This one’s for the cut-and-paste lovers. Bursting with colorful bits, abstract shapes, whimsical marks, and little scraps of joy. Use them as collage clusters, DIY stickers, or to add that final touch to your page.
