About Me

Hi, I'm Leigha — the artist behind Retro Pop Paper.

I'm a maker, dreamer, and nostalgia enthusiast based in Omaha, Nebraska. Retro Pop Paper is my little corner of the internet where illustration, photography, and collage come together to capture the warm, fuzzy feeling of flipping through an old photo album or finding a forgotten postcard in a drawer.

How It All Started

I started Retro Pop Paper because I needed a creative outlet and somewhere along the way, I completely fell in love with art and the world of small business. What began as a personal passion quickly turned into something I couldn't stop sharing. In short: I stick nostalgia on paper!

My Creative Process

Every design starts with a feeling, the kind you get from a vintage postcard, a retro color palette, or a perfectly worn-in photograph. I draw inspiration from mid-century aesthetics, thrift store finds, and the everyday magic of analog life. From greeting cards and art prints to stickers, scrapbook paper, and bookmarks, each piece is designed to spark a memory or start a new one.

I'm also deeply rooted in the scrapbooking, junk journaling, and collage community, a world full of incredibly creative people who believe that paper and glue can tell the most beautiful stories. You'll find me writing about these crafts on the blog, sharing tutorials, and geeking out over ephemera.
