Something I've been doing for a quick fun; one-inch square design scrap booking. Packaging, wrapping paper, catalogues and postcards are now examined for the designs rather than just being tossed into the recycling bin. These two pages are collections of about two months.

@tamami i love this, what a wonderful object. is this your first book or do you have a whole shelf full?

@paperposts No, these are the only pages so far. I started this about two months ago.

@tamami looks wonderful hope you keep it going, the square windowed approach looks great, but i bet it’s time consuming.

@paperposts No, it's actually very quick; that's the whole point... When I find something interesting, I put it on my desk, and when I have a spare minute, I punch it out and glue it on the page. Done!

@tamami @paperposts What tool do you use to cut them out so neatly?

PS. Sign painters (and probably others) refer to their collections of ephemera and inspiration as 'morgue files', and this is such a lovely twist on that.

@blag @paperposts You can buy a hole punch that is 1 square inch. Cheap, quick, fun!

@tamami @blag @paperposts my daughter ordered one and has been filling up pages for several months. It makes for striking patterns.
