Paper:

Recycled paper is available everywhere now at competitive prices. Even better, try a tree-free paper stock and see for yourself what the fuss is all about! Want to drool like me when you touch paper? Try Sakura by New Leaf in your next project. Here's are some vendors for 'ya:

www.NewLeapPaper.com (Visionary company that has brought recycled paper to the mainstream. They offer a variety of high performance uncoated and coated sheets, including my favorite silky stock: Sakura paper, which unabashedly makes me drool. Become an advocate and ask your printer to carry it!)

Online Stock Photography:

There are two kinds of online photography available: royalty-free and rights-managed. When you purchase a royalty-free image, you can use it anytime you want. Rights-managed photos are one-time use, and varies in price (usually more expensive). These are the ones I used the most, but just type in your browser "stock photography" and other websites will pop up.

www.dreamstime.com (Nice too, images from $1-$10, depending on size)
www.gettyimages.com (The industry standard for RM and RF images)
www.fotosearch.com (A step up from the cheaper websites, yet affordable images)
