Disclosure: I was sent copies of these books in order to provide honest reviews. All opinions are my own.

My summer has been a bit crazy, and my relaxing Fridays have been quite different this year. Our summer began with a trip to Connecticut to celebrate my father's life. We squeezed in a tour of Yale while there. When we returned home, we did laundry and packed up for a two-week road trip for more college visits. We made our way to Washington DC and Pittsburgh with several stops in between. Then it was time for our week at the Cape house. Then the rest of July was getting ready for a surgery, having the surgery and I've been recovering since. So my Fridays at the end of July and throughout August have been mostly watching television with Hazel and napping. The only crafts I have been doing is diamond painting. However, I look forward to getting back to other crafts soon. Today I am sharing some paper and sticker supplies for crafts and ideas! We will start with a Paint by Sticker book. It is Paint by Sticker (Official): Portraits by Workman Publishing. This is a craft book for adults or older kids.

About the Book:

Paint by Sticker: Portraits presents 12 stunning artworks featuring historically significant British figures, inspired by the National Portrait Gallery.

Peel the sticker, place the sticker, and watch your artwork come to life! Featuring select pieces from the renowned collection at London’s National Portrait Gallery, Paint By Sticker: Portraits includes everything you need to create 12 paintings of historically significant British figures such as Shakespeare, Ira Alridge, the Brontë sisters, Mary Seacole, and more. Plus the card-stock pages are perforated, so every finished picture can easily be removed for framing.

From Me:

Paint by Stickers is a series that makes coloring or painting by number easy to travel. The only supplies you need are the book. You can see my review of the first Paint by Sticker book I received here.

Our next two books are wrapping paper books. There are two new ones to share. Instead of really a review will be ideas of what you can do with them! The first is The Eclectic World of Julia Rothman Wrapping Paper Book by Julia Rothman.

About the Book:

A collection of 12 beautiful wrapping paper sheets and matching stickers from beloved artist Julia Rothman.

The latest installment in Artisan’s wrapping paper series, Julia Rothman Wrapping Paper is a curated collection of wrapping paper sheets and matching gift tags.

The book includes 12 perforated wrapping paper sheets that detach and unfold to 18 7/8″ by 25 3/4″, along with matching tags. With a wide variety of charming designs, from ballerinas to bakeware, all in Rothman’s signature style, buyers will have the perfect wrapping for any occasion.

The second wrapping paper book is The Little Frog Wrapping Paper Book by Maybell Eequay.

About the Book:

The Little Frog is here to help you gift in style with twelve fold-out wrapping paper sheets.

This set of twelve high-quality wrapping papers and matching gift labels is patterned with the whimsy of Maybell Eequay’s adorable amphibian art. Wrapping paper sheets detach easily and unfold to be 18 ⅞” by 25 ¾”.

From Me:

The high-quality wrapping paper found in these books are perfect for wrapping gifts and the books including matching to/from stickers. However, since I tend to use gift bags, I find many other uses for these fun wrapping paper. Before I share some, I would like to say one amazing use is to send with a college student or boarding student to have wrapping paper at school without taking up much space in their dorm room!! The Little Frog paper is adorable and perfect for frog lovers!

Fans can stick the mushroom-wearing, fabulous-shoed amphibian anywhere for a reminder of the encouragement and compassion that Little Frog has come to represent.

Little Frog wears a mushroom cap but also boots and hats and the stickers include flowers, snails, birds, clothes and so much more. These are fun for all ages, and I can definitely see kids making up stories about Little Frog's activities for each day.
