<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A few weeks back, TPC posted its first National Stationery Show <a href="http://wp.me/p3NTn7-3AP" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insider&#8217;s Guide</a>. The idea, which came from Amy Smyth of <a href="http://bit.ly/asmythcoJan2016" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Smyth Co.</a>, was for exhibitors to share which booths <em>they</em> cannot miss. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now, no one can come to me with a good idea without becoming a part of the project itself. So today, I&#8217;ve got a real treat for you all: picks from Amy &; her partner in crime John! </span><span class="s1">First up, a peek of <a href="http://asmythco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">their wares</a>.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14092" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/A-Smyth-Co.jpg" alt="Print" width="801" height="969" />Inside: Wishing you and your squad a Happy Thanksgiving!</span></p>
<p>John and Amy&#8217;s first pick is <a href="https://offensivedelightful.myshopify.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OPLUSD/offensive+delightful.</a> &#8220;<span class="s1">Graphic design, color and typography done right,&#8221; they noted. &#8220;</span><span class="s1">Olga Krigman, owner &; designer, is a character not to be missed.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>I have to say, I have to agree on both counts (and I must warn, these designs may be NSFW)! Don&#8217;t miss OPLUSD in Booth 2040.</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Their next pick is <a href="http://www.maginating.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maginating</a> in Booth 1763. &#8220;</span><span class="s1">Cute, witty illustrations,&#8221; they noted. &#8220;</span><span class="s1">Brad Woods, owner &; illustrator, has a dry humor that can only come from a Canadian.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="p1">It&#8217;s not too surprising that Maginating has won several LOUIE Awards, including Card of the Year — and are up again this year!<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14101" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ST_Maginating_A_Is_For01.jpg" alt="ST_Maginating_A_Is_For01" width="800" height="933" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14102" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ST_Maginating_B_Is_For01.jpg" alt="ST_Maginating_B_Is_For01" width="933" height="800" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14106" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ST_Maginating_C_is_For01.jpg" alt="ST_Maginating_C_is_For01" width="800" height="933" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14105" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ST_Maginating_Birthday_Ship_In_A_Bottle01.jpg" alt="ST_Maginating_Birthday_Ship_In_A_Bottle01" width="933" height="800" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14103" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ST_Maginating_Birthday_Bark01.jpg" alt="ST_Maginating_Birthday_Bark01" width="800" height="933" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14104" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ST_Maginating_Birthday_Bats01.jpg" alt="ST_Maginating_Birthday_Bats01" width="933" height="800" /><span class="s1">Their next pick is Naughty Betty, distributed by <a href="http://www.calypsocards.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Calypso Cards</a>. &#8220;</span><span class="s1">Humorous copy that nails it every time,&#8221; they told me. </span></p>
