Carolina Pad Studio C Review and Giveaway

When I was in elementary school, I remember being so enthralled with school supplies.  I would hit up that aisle in the store every time I could.  This didn’t change as time passed and I still love to look at pens, pencils, and other supplies.  It is so fun to have supplies for classes or everyday life that make you smile and you enjoy.  When I open up a notebook that is pretty and “me”, it changes my attitude.  Carolina Pad has made this even more fun for me.

I was sent some beautiful items from the Studio C line by Carolina Pad recently and I am so excited to tell you about them!  The collections for this line include:

• Rock-on
• Grafiti
• Rising Sun
• Peace Out
• Free Spirit
• Eye Candy
• Mo’ Rockin’

While I really do like them all, there are two that are my favorites within the Studio C line.  They are Rising Sun shown below:

and Eye Candy shown below:

The Rising Sun line is peaceful and “light” while the Eye Candy line is bright and colorful. They are pretty different but I love them both.  I can’t say that there are any from the Studio C line that I don’t like.  They each would be good for a different purpose possibly.  The Peace Out line might be good for my Midwifery stuff… peace, love, and all that goodness are pretty typical of Midwives, right?  The Mo’ Rockin’ would be great to keep track of Johnny’s school stuff because that line reminds me of my boy.  I can find a use for them all and they all fit into my life in one way or another.

You might wonder about the quality of the Carolina Pad products.  I can tell you that they seem very durable.  The 2-pkt folders are perfect for the busy person.  They are going to hold up to some wear and tear.  The binder is nice and sturdy.  My favorite item is the Ideal Book.  I love to have a small notebook to keep notes in that will fit into my purse. This fits the bill and has a nice strong cover with a plastic folder pocket inside.  This will hold up well to the traveling it will endure in my purse.  The 18 month planner is super cute and I may end up having to fight Kenzie for it.  As I was taking the products out of the box, Kenzie was ooh’ing and ahh’ing.  They are perfect for kids and adults alike.  Trendy and stylish, they will please many ages.

You can purchase the Carolina Pad products at Walmart and prices range according to item.  In my opinion, the prices are very good for what you are getting, ranging from $2.50 to $4.00 generally.  Be sure to check out all the collections because you can get different items in each collection!

I would love for you to visit Carolina Pad on Facebook (let them know I sent you if you would like) and Twitter.  You can find Carolina Pad and the Studio C line both on Facebook.
