Handmade Paper Notes and Pantone Colors

May 6, 2013 | Personal

We had a fun babyshower at my work last Monday. We enjoyed fruit, bagels, presents, and lots of laughter. One of the best presents baby Samuel and I received was from Jessica.

A stack of origami paper cards in the colors purple, green, orange, red, and blue.

The present was a big pile of books. She spent the time to make handmade origami paper cards for each book. The books were in a specific order numbers 1 through 5. The cards coordinated with the colors of the numbers in the books.

The origami paper cards partially unfolded on a table.

Inside of each card there were poems about the books. Here is one of my favorite.

A note on the inside of the orange origami paper card reads, "I saw this and thought of you. I'm particularly fond of 7692."

Can you believe she found a Pantone baby book? How cute is that? My son is going to be inspired by color variety and color precision from an early age.

A baby Pantone Colors book. The inside of the baby Pantone Colors book. The page should a blue train, and on the left side, there is a collage of different shades of blue and their pantone chip numbers.

Thank you Jessica. I too love 7692.
