I don’t know about any of you, but I’m squeezing every last second I can out of the final month and a half or so of Summer we’ve got left.   So believe me when I say that I took some time to thoroughly enjoy the Summer edition of Stationery Trends Magazine.

I especially enjoyed the article that featured our Jungle Safari Mod Party Kit:

No, I didn’t enjoy it just because of our feature.  This article discussed the ongoing debate over the two distinct style philosophies so named in the title of the article: classic and edgy.  I tend to use the terms traditional and modern, but either way it’s still one of my favorite topics to ponder over.  Why?  Because it’s a discussion that can inspire such wonderful and unique creations that mix the best of both worlds.  Take the fine examples featured alongside our very own mod party kit; as the article notes for the baby shower market, the bold colors add a modern twist on classic themes.  In conclusion, I think this is a healthy debate that will never be settled — and the design world is better for it.  After all, classics become classic for a reason and if there weren’t anyone pushing boundaries with modern ideas, then most industries in general would not get very far.

There were many other great articles in this edition.  I found a fair share of valuable information regarding blogging that I fully intend on putting to good use as well as some great pieces about the National Stationery Show.  So while you’re soaking up the final rays of the summer sun, I suggest you take some time to peruse the great articles and stunning photos that fill this edition of Stationery Trends Magazine.

Until Next Week,
