Milk and Cookies Art Prints

February 07, 2011 // kristen // 1 replies

I’m going to dub today “Cute Day” because I have some really cute paper goodies to share with you, starting with these adorable giclée art prints from Melbourne, Australia based shop, Milk and Cookies. Tali Gal-on, the illustrator/designer/animator behind this sweet shop, offers prints and greeting cards featuring her original illustrations. I want the argyle sweater wearing, not so scary bear print for my office! – found via Indie Fixx

Weekly Wrap #58 : Grocery Bag Gorgeous

February 04, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

Leslie from A Creative Mint uses kraft paper grocery bags (Trader Joe’s bags, to be specific) with a palette of lemon yellow, gray, and white to create gorgeously wrap gifts in her Color Me Pretty feature at Decor8 this week, and my mind is in serious overdrive from all of the yellow, gray, and white inspiration that Leslie shares. I love that she used a white pen/marker to create custom illustrations and patterns on the kraft paper, and I’m coveting her ribbon stash, as well as her inspiration book (check it out over at Decor8)!
