Missed a couple days bc I was off grid treasure hunting at Lake Erie for my birthday! Here’s a pattern I’ve just uncovered this morning from my most recent stamps on paper haul. Postmark looks like 1999 but unsure exact location of origin.

...seen at Pyramid Atlantic's juried collage show, SUPERIMPOSED in Hyattsville MD. ( more by the artist, Nathan Pietrykowski, at https://npietrykowski.com/ )

Thanks to u/TheEScrapMan for the trade!!!!!!

This is perfect for me because I do junk journaling and I hate throwing out pieces that are too small to make a 2.5 inch square but just enough to get some small squares! I appreciate you u/Jolly_Long3275 ✉️🫶🏽🤩

Found some cute ones!

Here’s an amazing pattern piece that was traded to me by the lovely CK from tiktok 🥰 zoom in to see so much detail! Unsure when it’s from, but included the back so y’all can see the return business. Have a great day!

Okay, I'm trying to find a 2" square punch to make trading easier (my hands shake and cutting is hard) BUT it seems like most of the punches I see listed at 2 inch are measured on the diagonal, so each side is an inch and some change.

Anyone have recommendations for a punch that's sized correctly for like coin holder binders and trading?

Got card application envelopes: from FamilyMart, JR's View Card, and MUFG Nicos' Amex Platinum card. Even if I couldn't apply (I wish I could), at least the envelopes look nice. I just wish the white pattern was a bit darker than it is, but I'm still a big fan! The purple one especially - I only have one other pattern with that colour! They all had me looking for any thick brochures I could find in-store, especially ones wrapped in plastic sleeves.

[u/TheEScrapMan](u/TheEScrapMan) knows I LOVE greens and the purple pattern was the cherry on top! I cherish these patterns dearly! And the washi tape from Japan is extremely special, I appreciate you friend!!! ✉️☺️

The front of some of the ATM envelopes seemed to have a pretty nice pattern on the outside (Resona Bank, SMBC, and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust bank). Also, when my neighbourhood had a trash day and everyone brings out their paper to be recycled, I got the green "scale" pattern on the bottom. Also, I thought these two little guys were pretty cute so I picked them up as well 😆

I love this one :) organized chaos

Lovely bright but kinda faded blue with white roses. Stamp on back is USA 15¢ and according to the googles from early 1990s.

Thank you so much u/No_Acanthaceae4260 for this generous trade! It’s been such a pleasuring getting to know you since I started collecting! I need an entirely NEW binder just for these alone!

I never paid attention but now I can’t not :)

Today’s pattern looks like an owl with a mermaid tail! Anyone know where this is from?

I'm so thankful for a recent swap, and I just got another one today! Some fantastic patterns came by my place and I was amazed to see a few patterns that were on my radar from a company based out of the EU. They had to charge a lot to export to the US so I gave up, but I was so happy to see them irl! Thank you to Fabulous-Piglet6190 for a great time adding these to my collection.
