Printworks
By Helen Naylor

Annette Allen Watkins is the very talented designer and founder of the Printworks Collection, located in Santa Fe Springs, California.  With a background in fine art and design, Annette brings a new look and dimension to the art of scrapbooking.  Her paper, stickers, stamps and inks work together in a delightful palate to enable the less than confident scrapbooker to create beautiful pages with minimum effort.

The Printworks Collection is designed to mix and match.  There are several basic designs, but the color variety allows for numerous variations.  There is a primary selection, and then a softer, more pastel assortment.  If you have any problems choosing, I might suggest that you purchase one of the Creative Scrapbook Sets.  It is in book form and comes with 16 sheets of paper that can be used together along with 2 full 8 ˝” X 11” pages of stickers.  It’s a great variety and allows you to do several pages.  There are 4 different books (Country Garden, Les Petite Fleurs, Celebrate, and Tender Years) available, each book comes complete with tips, layout ideas and lettering suggestions.  The books are available in the 8 ˝”X 11” size.

Patterned papers are available in bulk.  They come in 12 X 12 and 8 ˝ X 11, to satisfy both customers.  You can also find most of the stickers packaged or on a roll, although there were a few in the books that I haven’t seen available on the roll.  The border stickers will also fit on the 12” page.  Printworks recently introduced some new floral and baby stickers that have proved to be very popular, along with an alphabet.

 If you are so inclined, they also have an extensive rubber stamp collection, complete with inkpads that co-ordinate perfectly with the paper colors.  So you can maintain the same look and feel of this product line with unlimited possibilities. 

Printworks is an easy product to produce dynamite layouts with.  Whether you want a juvenile look or an elegant design, there is something there for everyone!

Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price: $0.40 - $8.95
