About Paper Shouts' Designers

Bonnie Bell, Inventing Mathilda

Owner and designer, Bonnie Bell prides herself on creating stylish and memorable paper products. Bonnie's love for design started years ago as a second grade teacher where she had a passion for creating class bulletin boards. Bonnie found herself ready to translate her love for design into a business. Bonnie cultivates all of her creative ideas and meticulously constructs vivacious birth announcements, photo birth cards, and personalized stationery. She has a definite aversion to drawings of little pastel rattles and rubber ducks and adamantly believes that there are other endless other possible artistic ways to celebrate babies and children. She loves using unusual patterns, shapes, and colors. Bonnie lives in Denver with her nerdy husband and two energetic daughters.
