Carolina Pad Studio C Review and Giveaway

If you have read my blog before, you probably are aware that I am in love with Carolina Pad products.  Not only are they fun and whimsical but they make sense to me.  It is almost like they are reading my mind when they develop products.  For instance, their notebooks have slots for miscellaneous papers in them, and the file folders make it easy to stay organized.

The kids will be going back to school shortly, and Carolina Pad has everything you need to get ready for the big day.  It is easy to stock up on stylish, yet function products from Carolina Pad, very inexpensively.  I always have a large supply of their products on hand, and I hate to admit it, but I don’t like to share.  They just look so pretty sitting there, waiting for me to use them.  At any given time, you can find Carolina Pad folders, note pads and more placed strategically around my house.  I really and truly love them.

For my Carolina Pad Back-to-School review, I was sent a variety of items from their Studio C Collection.  This collection {which includes Hot Chocolate, Rock On, Royal Twist, Rising Sun, Sasquatch and Dreamsicle} do not disappoint.  I love their  products just as much as ever {perhaps even more!}.  I received for review:

  • 1-subject notebook
  • 2-pkt folder
  • 1″ Binder
  • Composition Book
  • Ideal Book
  • Journal

I love the latest designs – it is safe to say I am smitten.  The pocket folders are ‘Rising Sun’, and are simple and classy.  They are lightweight, and have pockets in the front and the back, as well as three holes for binder paper or other papers.  The 1-subject notebook is the ‘Hot Chocolate’ pattern and perfect for taking notes. The journal is one of Carolina Pad’s products that I haven’t seen before, but it really is pretty.  It is ‘Jackie’ style {one of my favorites}, and has thought provoking quotes on a few of the pages.  Included is a sticker sheet with letters – you can monogram your own journal! There is a pretty ribbon attached to neatly tie your thoughts inside.  I love the Ideal Book – it is the ‘Sasquatch’ style {these contain 100% recycled material!}.  It has 3 sections and is college ruled.  There is handy little crossword puzzle in the back, in case one were to get bored.    I also received a very, very cool binder that I’m sure my daughter will be pilfering from me shortly – it is just her style.  It is a limited edition “Rock On” binder, which is black and has a guitar handle on the front.  The binder has two pockets inside, and the binder rings are super easy to open and close.  Last but certainly not least is the gorgeous composition book. It is in the ‘Royal Twist’ by Jackie series.  This will be so helpful to students, as on the inside of both covers are some helpful hints such as ‘Parts of Speech’, punctuation tips, conversion tables and more.

  6. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Carolina Pad ‘Hot Chocolate’ collection! The bubbles are fun and whimsical – makes work not so dreary! In particular, I love the monthly planner (one without the spiral binding). It has big spaces to write (with lines to help keep me straight) 🙂 for each day of the month, and is thin enough to fit in the pocket of my portfolio. My only complaint is they are hard to find. When school started here, they sold out in a flash. I liked them so much, I wanted to get some for my coworkers and now I can’t find them!
    If anyone knows where to look, let me know~

    Thanks!
