Kaisercraft Duchess Collection

July 23, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m completely taken with Duchess, a lovely new scrapbooking collection from Australian scrapbooking supply company, Kaisercraft:

The designs are something I can imagine finding on the walls of an abandoned French palace, the patterns made more gorgeous over time by wear, tear, and the elements. And the palette of muted teals, soft greens, creams, and browns is beautiful.

If you’d like to purchase elements from the collection, you can find a Kaisercraft stockist on the list found here.

Frank Chimero

More Renegade Fun, this time from My Associate Cornelius booth mate, illustrator Frank Chimero, whose work I first discovered through a must see interview that he did over at Grain Edit back in March. In the interview, Frank takes us through his process in creating one of the illustrations from The States Series, which I absolutely love! So clever:

Check out Frank’s portfolio, and have a look at all of the great prints available in his shop while you’re browsing.

The Renegade Craft Fair, San Francisco edition, was this past weekend, and I’ve spotted lots of craveable paper goods in the pictures that attendees have shared on their blogs, in their Flickr, etc. I’m in complete gig poster covet mode for the work of illustrator and designer Micah Smith, aka My Associate Cornelius. My Associate Cornelius’ shop is filled with awesome gig posters, art prints, stationery, etc. Below is just a peek at what’s available — lots of clever, retro style art in fantastic palettes:

Me Likey Collection by Sassafras Lass

July 21, 2009 // kristen // 2 replies

The new Me Likey scrapbooking collection by Sassafras Lass just screams FUN, doesn’t it? But it doesn’t scream too loud because it doesn’t want to disturb the neighbors or wake up the kids. *wink, wink* The bright, rainbow colored papers immediately caught my eye, and I had to smile at the adorable images of frogs, candy, ice cream cones, and fruit with faces. Gotta love that similing fruit! This collection would be perfect for a school, summer, or just plain fun themed project. Check out the whole collection here.
