Special Edition | 2017 National Stationery Show, Part 2

I’m back with Part 2 of our National Stationery Show recap.

Today’s episode features interviews with Sarah from Parrott Design Studio, Joel from Iron Curtain Press, Lana from Lana’s Shop, Julie from Julie Ann Art, Kristen & Pam from Reyn Paper Co., and Tammy from Banquet Workshop.
