If you are looking for some design eye candy check out the portfolio of photographer Seth Smoot (http://www.patbates.com/seth_smoot/).  There are several different books you can browse through on the website and I think book #2 is my fave.  Such gorgeous photos!  
(The images are much clearer if you go to the actual site).

www.minted.com is a website that offers personalized printed stationery....invitations, announcements and photo cards.  Minted also has prints available in many different sizes.  It would be easy to curate a collection for a gallery wall by choosing five or so in various sizes.  Some of my favourites are below....

I recently discovered the most amazing paper artist, Denise Sharp, and just had to share.  There are tons of inspiring projects and images on her website http://www.studiodsharp.com/.  In her shop you will find letterpress treats and handmade goodies galore.


This large paper flower would definitely make a statement for a wedding or special event!


 This ombre chocolate box for valentine's day is so lovely.  I imagine collecting paint chips in my favourite shades of blue and reproducing this on a box of my own...


 Postage stamp garlands!!  Brilliant idea.



Also the smaller stamp garland adds the perfect amount of colour to a birthday (or bon voyage?) cake.  I have a small postage stamp collection and would love to try and reproduce this!



There are also extremely special boxes in the shape of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower.  How cool would it be to hide a plane ticket to Italy in here for a loved one? 



Studio D Sharp is such a great source for keepsakes and decorations for very special occasions.  Bellisima!
