What is Blue Sky Papers?
Blue Sky Papers is a company dedicated to helping people keep the memories they make. Courtney Bartik, founder of Blue Sky Papers, was looking for a way to create a personalized keepsake book to celebrate a close friend’s first pregnancy. Bartik searched for keepsake products that would allow a group of friends and family to come together to create and capture meaningful moments, memories, and personal sentiments for the mother-to-be. Finding that no such product existed, Bartik set about creating Blue Sky Papers’ Keepsake Journals.
