How is this keepsake book like an “extended love letter”?
Blue Sky Papers’ Book of Love is an extended love letter because it is a number of pages long, covers a number of aspects of you relationship and moreover, it includes pictures. It is more than a love letter, it is a keepsake.
I saw your book on RedEnvelope.com and would like a personalized option like theirs. How can I get this same kind of personalization?
RedEnvelope provides the plaque as their feature and so if you want personalization like theirs, you must purchase the product from their website. Blue Sky Papers does not currently offer further personalization options but we plan on offering embossing on the front cover.

Absolutely! We can get your Blue Sky Papers keepsake book to you very quickly so you can get started on writing your love letter. Plan on receiving it in 2 business days. See our shipping guide on our policy page for more details.
Can I use my photo in the front cover?
Yes, the window box of our keepsake books is for your photograph, image, art or handwritten note. The inside of the front cover has a slit where you can slide your picture.
All of our keepsake books and keepsake journals are bound by screw post. What this means to you is flexibility. Pages can be added and removed at your leisure. Yet the binding is concealed. Both of the covers have a narrow flap punched with holes and creased so they are folded under when the covers are closed. A post and screw is inserted through each hole in both covers and matching holes punched in the album pages. When the screws are tightened and the covers are closed, the post heads are concealed. Pages can be added or removed from albums bound in this manner. The number of pages that can be included depends on the length of the available screw posts.
What kind of recycled pages are in the keepsake book?
The pages in our keepsake books and keepsake journals are 30% post consumer. Our book boards also contain recycled content.
Why are the pages in the leather book kraft?
The beauty of the leather is highlighted by the kraft color. It is sophisticated and chic. The kraft color also gives the pages a rustic feel which compliments the leather nicely.
I would like the leather book however I would like white pages. Is this possible?
Absolutely. Please contact us prior to placing the order online because it is a custom order. The cost for this custom order will remain the same.
Bonded leather is a material composed of leather fibers constructed into a fibrous mat to create an often identical look and feel to that of genuine leather. Bonded leather is often indiscernible from genuine leather. Blue Sky Papers’ bonded leather is premium bonded leather and it has a beautiful natural appearance with a light shine. It does not scratch easily like genuine leather and should maintain its quality appearance for generations.
There is no set standard for what quantifies “archival quality,” however the main characteristic of something archival quality is that it is acid-free. Acid in papers cause discoloration and aging overtime. Blue Sky Papers keepsake books are made with acid-free pages.
Are these keepsake books handmade?
Yes, Blue Sky Papers keepsake books and keepsake journals are handmade. And they are handmade in the USA.
Prompts, or writing prompts, are phrases that inspire thoughts and emotions on a particular subject so to “prompt” you to write. Our inspirational prompts are one of Blue Sky Paper’s most unique features. The inspirational prompts make it easy to weave your personal story through your keepsake journal.
What kind of photo corner is included?
Our keepsake books come with clear, acid-free photo corners. These are self-adhesive – no licking to get them sticking!
If I wanted to see the keepsake book in person before I purchase it, where can I find one?
Our keepsake books and keepsake journals are carried in a number of retail stores, both national and local – RedEnvelope, Paper Thread (an American Greetings Store) and OnPaper to name a few. We do not have a current list of retailers but we would be happy to direct you to a store close to you. Please call 866-708-7750 or email service@blueskypapers.com and we will be happy to help!
Why are the prompts and response cards self-adhesive?
The prompts and response cards are self-adhesive for easy assembly. No need for glue or tape. Just remove the liner and apply them to the pages. Note: some keepsake books have guided pages (with prompts printed on them) and do not come with self-adhesive prompts.
My event is next week. Will I be able to get a keepsake book in time?
We can expedite ship your order. You can locate the shipping cost under the policy section of our website.
What if I make a mistake while writing on the cards?
We provide ample response cards (aka tributettes) with each keepsake book. If you were to want more, you can order more tributettes by calling or emailing us at orders@blueskypapers.com. While this handmade book is appreciated for its human element, it is a good idea to write the responses on a separate sheet of paper before writing on your tributette response card.
What kind of pens work best?
We find that roller ball and felt-tip pens work best on our tributettes response cards. The ink dries quickly and looks more sophisticated. We also find that ball point pens may smudge if touched quickly after writing.
I really like the concept of your keepsake books. I would like to make my own version as a DIY project. Any recommendations?
Besides creating a keepsake book yourself using our kit, you can create your own using our concept with your own supplies if you like. You can use an album or journal and have your creators answer your prompts on pieces of paper. Stationery stores often carry nice cards that you can purchase. Use double-sided tape or glue on the back to apply them to the pages. If you run dry on prompt ideas, you can download a list of Blue Sky Papers prompts.
Why wouldn’t I use a regular album and use tape, glue, paper and photocorners to create one myself?
You just answered part of the question yourself - tape, glue, photo corners - all of which take time and money. Plus, you will have extra supplies which just take up space. Blue Sky Paper’s Keepsake Books contain all that you need (and nothing more) to create your one-of-a-kind gift. We make it easy for you!
