GOOD FIND: This Paper Ship (& Giveaway!)

Once in a while you come across

something that gets you so giddy

with excitement that you can't wait

to share it with everyone you know.

Last week I discovered This Paper Ship

and have been itching to tell you about

them ever since I laid my eyes on

their super fun, whimsical creations.

Joel and Ashely are the husband and wife

team behind this freelance design, photography

and illustration studio based here in my town

of Greensboro, North Carolina (lucky me!).

They specialize in wedding paper goods, wedding

and portrait photography, graphic design and

custom, original archival ink illustrations.

Just take a look at some of their stuff.

These original ink illustrations make me smile!

They come printed 12x12" on environmental

French paper using high quality archival inks.

They also specialize in custom announcements

and invitations -- so unique for your special days.

One of the neatest things I think they do

are these customized, hand illustrated maps.

Great for a "we've moved" notice, insert

for a destination wedding invitations, etc.

And be sure to visit their website and their

Flickr page for samples of their AMAZING

wedding and portrait photography.

Modern and classic all at once!

Joel and Ashley are graciously offering

one lucky reader one of their shadowbox

illustrations - a great holiday gift idea!

Joel and Ashley draw objects that highlight you or

whoever the shadowbox is for - one of a kind!
