I think I’m in love. The object of my affection: The selection of decorative artwork embellished with handcut paper hearts from the brand new Etsy shop Paper Cut Works. Ania Alyson, Seattle artist by way of Poland, creates artsy, anatomically-inspired hearts out...

I am dying over the awesomeness that is the “Say What” personalized stationery gift sets from past CMP pick, Just Jenn Designs. Just email the designer a good headshot of your child (or dog or BFF) that can be easily silhouetted, and she’ll send you...
