Beautifully Bound!

I'm loving these handmade books from greentrikepress on etsy. They look like they have a story even before you start writing in them! Dylan (who pointed these amazing journals out to me)- I think you need one to jot down amazing web ideas! If anyone is looking for a website, talk to Pine Lake Marketing!

Pattern Pleasure

Check out the patterns at Quilt Home!
I have never seen such a beautiful collection all in one place! The colors are so soft and the patterns are modern or frilly. I don't know how anyone could walk away without loving one of their patterns. Thanks to Marty for pointing it out! These are from the Vicki Payne collection.

Letterpress Class

I finally found a letterpress class to take! I'm so excited :) It's a 10 week digital letterpress class @ Evanston Print & Paper Shop. I will even learn how to make my own polymer plate and be able to use their studio for personal projects. Yay! Letterpress calling cards here I come! Here are some i have found on etsy... Images from DingbatPress and Vince Letterpress!

Mother's Day

Just a little something I've been working on! Hopefully none of the recipients are faithful to checking my blog!

Meg's Ribbons

These are my sisters amazing hair ribbons for the little ones! They will be listed at gret design's etsy shop once they are finished. Here's a little preview of the bright colored product shots!
I love the animal print against the grass green ribbon. Looks so sharp!


This is the creator's favorite! (above)

Would you live in a shipping container?!

Cheap, transportable and recyclable, Adam Kalkin's container homes may be the next wave of prefab. Nobody has employed shipping containers more inventively than Kalkin, a New Jersey architect and artist who has used them to design luxurious homes, museum additions and refugee housing. The most popular cost from $250 to $400 a square foot including installation!

soft text

I'm loving the throw pillows on white twig's etsy shop! The would look so great clustered together against my dark couch.

My work!

Just a little something i've been working on! This 4 x 6 card is printed on reclaimed paper stock and has a very rustic feel with the bleeding cowboy text and textured cotton ribbon. It will be available on my etsy account soon! Let me know what you think by commenting below!

Check out the great fabrics over at Garden Party !
They would be so great for quilts, belts, framed as wall art... you name it!
My sister will die when she see's these!

Fresh Packaging

I am obsessed with this packaging from bath and body works! It's so fresh and clean. This will definately make for some great inspiration in my fresh card line i'm working on. Check back for more on that :)
