boygirlparty - Bookplates

[elephant bookplates and whale bookplates from boygirlparty]

How amazingly adorable are these bookplates by Susie of boygirlparty? I have a few items from Susie (who also lives in San Diego! Woohoo!) hanging up on my bedroom walls and they brighten up the whole place. Check out her Etsy store and her website, everything she makes is cute, fun, and creative.

When I was little, totin' around a bunch of books in my Keroppi backpack, I used to stick a bookplate in all of my books. It had a little polar bear reading, and I got a lot of joy out of writing my name on one. I'm a little possessive.

Now that it's been almost 2 weeks since my last Gocco project, I'm starting to contemplate my next one: bookplates! I don't know what direction I want to go in for the design, but I'm thinking I'd like to be adventurous and try, possibly, maybe, TWO (gasp!) colors instead of one! I'm also not sure where I can find nice labels/adhesive paper without going to Staples, although maybe that's not a bad idea in case I mess up on really nice paper...

...wish me luck!
