Hello! Lucky Hollin & Eric Wedding Invitations

August 26, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I cannot get enough of these sweet, custom illustrated wedding invitations. Hello! Lucky designer Anna Hurley created this awesome wedding suite for couple Hollin & Eric. I love that they had a Dessert Festival for those who weren’t able to attend the actual wedding. The little illustrations of pies, cupcakes, and cakes is too cute! See more images, including hand drawn and screen printed coffee and tea bag favors created by the maid of honor, from Hollin & Eric’s wedding over at the Hello! Lucky blog.

Girl of All Work is a paper lovers dream. Notepads, greeting cards, labels, journals, address books … there’s a little bit of everything for us to crave, and it’s all gorgeously designed. How in the world did I not discover this shop before now?! I think that I’m in love with the chapter books (above left). Drool … metallic accents, not to mention lovely scroll and type work. See everything that Girl of All Work has to offer right over here.

Parasol Craft

August 25, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Have you heard about the new downloadable magazine, Parasol Craft? The project is a spinoff of the original Parasol Magazine and the brainchild of the super talented Yasmine Surovec, the illustrator and all-around creative force behind one of my favorite blogs, A Print A Day. Parasol Craft’s primary focus is to “promote and inspire creativity”, and I can tell you that I was so inspired after my initial look through of the debut issue that I was practically buzzing!

Issue 1 features profiles of so many talented artists and crafters, including a great interview with Diane Gilleland of Craftypod. In addition, you’ll find a tutorial for making an Illustrator brush, several oh so pretty embroidery patterns, a make your own Snow White & Rose Red dolls tutorial, digital scrapbooking kit, and so many gorgeous and inspiring images that you’ll probably be buzzing with ideas by the time you’re finished, too.

You can download your 111 page copy, as well as digital tutorial and scrapbooking files, for only $2.50 here. A sneak peak at what’s inside:

Lauren Gregg Nerdimals Prints

August 24, 2009 // kristen // 2 replies

Okay, I think that I’m running out of walls on which to put all of the fantastic prints that I covet. My latest loves are illustrator Lauren Gregg’s Nerdimals limited edition prints and, well, you just have to see them to know their awesomeness! There’s the Record Store Nerd, the Mac Nerd, the Classic Nerd, the Knitting Nerd, the Trekkie Nerd, the Band Nerd, the Star Wars Nerd, the Grit Nerd, and the Dungeons and Dragons Nerd. Do you identify with any? I’m probably the Classic Nerd, though if I knitted I’d totally be the Knitting Nerd!

Just a few of my favorites:
