The following is some of the fantastic feedback from our lovely ETSY customers...
- " This was beyond my expectations! I purchased the multi-color clock, as pictured, to add a pop of color in my office. Everyone who comes in has commented about how striking and unique it is! Because it is so lightweight, you can hang it anywhere. Thanks Amy!!! "
- "...These are sooo beautiful! I can't even describe how much better they look in person than the pictures, I love the depth..will be such a great piece on our wall. Will definitely post a pic when we get them hung up. Fast shipping as well!"
- "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE !!!!!!! Could not be more satisfied. Thanks. The thank you note received was a great touch."
- "These pixel votives are really neat. Love how the light plays through the pixels."
- "This is my go-to gift for a unique piece of art to give to friends. I'm able to personalize it to match the person I'm giving it to. I love the way I can mix and match the backgrounds and themes to find the perfect gift."
- "My husband loved our 1st anniversary present. I love how you incorporated some red with my black and white background as requested. EXTREMELY fast shipping!"
- "I provided minimal instructions - I wanted to hang my favorite movie character on the wall... I got a beautiful art piece in return. colorstorydesigns was outstanding to work with - enthusiastic, talented and with an eye for perfection. I could not be more pleased."
- "LOVED the mirror (so colorful and creative), and it looks absolutely gorgeous on my wall! I also appreciated the great customer service, since I needed a size that was different from what was originally offered. I'm totally thrilled!"
- "Excellent custom service and I absolutely love the final product!"

5 out of 5 starsThis picture frame is incredible! It looks wonderful in my living room among all of my colorful books displayed on Umbra "invisible" wall shelves. Customer service, packaging, and shipping were all exemplary.

4 out of 5 starsI love the look of the frame, but the back does not close properly. It was difficult to get the photo to stay in.

5 out of 5 starsTheses pieces are as bright and beautiful in person as in pictures! Meticulously hand crafted and so unique! They are the perfect finishing touch to our daughters playroom wall (I also ordered a cork board, white board and clock). Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pop of color and conversation piece!

About colorstorydesigns
handmade designs... created from recycled magazines!
colorstory designs began as a way for myself, Amy Gibson, and my best friend, Andrea Read, to be creative and have fun together. We met at an architecture firm in Seattle, WA in 2007, and began our small green design business shortly thereafter. At the end of 2010, Andrea needed to pursue a new job in Kansas City area where she works with a small organization that fights poverty throughout the world. Even though I've continued colorstory designs on my own, the original concept was created by both of us, and she is still my best friend and a huge part of my life!
Everything I make is made from recycled magazines- and I try to find the most colorful parts of the magazines to create one-of-a-kind pieces of art for you! My work includes picture frames, jewelry, wine charms, magnets, mirrors and shadowboxes. Everything is created by me in Tulsa, OK- where I live with my supportive husband Jason and young son Ben. I hope you enjoy looking through my etsy shop and please recycle- it's important!
